Unfortunately there must have been a little fault which I was going to contact Charlies about as water was getting into the card inside one of the sections after a couple of uses, I was happily drying the pool out and our naughty boy got a hold of the pool, had a lovely time chewing around the edge and then adding a rip to the bottom, he thought it was a great toy arrrgh. Please don't let this put you off purchasing one of these pools as long as there was water in it our fella would never have changed the game lol. An idea to add to the purchase might be an attachment to join a hose hose to, to empty the pool into a different sections of a purchasers yard (we have a bit of a tricky space). We will buy again.
