The product, in the report: Free standing soft sided pool with steel “flying buttresses” and steel pipe “top rails” supporting vinyl “bag” of water
Our 10,000+ gallon soft sided pool suddenly ripped, evacuating all 80,000 pounds of water in less than a minute. Due to the setting (atop a hillside), the water channeled itself into 10-12 foot wide river cascading 100 feet onto the adjoining property, and continued downhill. Fortunately no one was hurt or injured this time, but it’s very easy to visualize a different outcome.
The “explosion” happened at approximately 9:30 PM, while still under its “winterized’ cover. The air temperature at the time was about 72 degrees.
After contacting the manufacturer, I was told “Any actions by any individual or entity that attempt to tarnish our company name or products, or to do harm to us financially will be vigorously pursued to the fullest extent of the law.”
My concern is that, toward the end of the lifespan of the pool liner, catastrophic failure could happen. Had a child been in the pool at the time, who knows how far downhill they would have tumbled. Had someone been standing next to pool, they would have been flattened. Had there been a home directly below the pool, with a child playing outside...
