| Ok time to update this thread
I received the 5 shiro from Shawn almost 2 weeks ago, 3 of which are mine & 2 I'm qting for Thomas T until it gets warmer.
These are set up in an 8' Intex pool w/ filtration media removed from my Nexus. Great thing about the Intex is that it was inexpensive at only $40 new when I got it last summer. Sorry ass thing is that they did not include an air pump for it.
Since I'm a procrastinator I didn't set it up until the night right b/f they were to arrive and guess what? I had the hardest time getting air into the air ring. I tried to use a bicycle hand pump & that didn't work since it did not fit into the air ring's air inlet. Neither did the small 12V air compressor that used to pump air into the cars' tires. Ended up doing it the old fashion way.......yep you guessed it! I did take a while since I'm not know to have alot of hot air in me. But in the end I found that I didn't need alot of air to fill the ring.
Here's the QT sitting in the garage. I had to boot a car out just to have it there. |
