[quote=WaitingToExhale][quote=flu]$400???? Are they built to last? If its just plastic vinyl, it’s not going to last.[/quote]

From the research I’ve done most people say they can last 2-3 seasons. I figure if I have to buy 1 every summer until my youngest is in college that’s only about $5K total, and I would only do that if I have fun with them.[/quote]
Yep, you can get a lot of fun/quality kid or family time with the thing relative to what other things cost. Someone gave us a smaller one of the same kind last year . The filter couldn’t keep up but it would be easy to make a better one if the same happens with the model in the link in your earlier post.
