Has anyone put these in their pool? How many would be a good amount for a standard sized pool? Do they move around a lot in the pool?

I would say max 2, I think they are too big in the pool. I love mine sitting around the pool or on my waterfall.

I purchased three (I happen to like odd numbers) Our pool is 15 by about 40 feet oval and the three float around beautifully as they change colors. Best holiday gift I ever bought my husband.

This is very nice, I purchased only one to see how I liked it, however even though I would love to have three in my pool, I didn't get anymore as our spa waterfall creates a current in the pool so consequently it always ends up against the side at the far end of the pool. In the end I just put it in the spa and it's very pretty there! I would suggest maybe you'd like to get one and see how it works in your pool and a sense of its relative size. Hope this helps!

I dont see why not. Although I am not sure if they would stay inside the pool without moving around.

We have a 15x34 inground pool. One was nowhere enough lighting so we bought a total of 3. They light up the whole pool but not as vivid colors in the 9ft deep end. Some nights I forget to throw them in the pool and they then just "disco" up the backyard nicely. Hope this helps.

It's impossible to get them in and out even if it would withstand the paws, which it won't. Even birds landing on it can puncture the outer ring that holds all the water in place. I tried carrying mine in and out with life jackets on to swim with me, but almost dropped them since the ladder is difficult. I had a neighbor whose dog climbed up the ladder when it was left in the pool and the dog died. There was no way for it to get back out, so it swam until it drowned. That can happen with any type of pool so please take care and watch your pets. Mine are happiest playing in plastic kiddie pools that I can just refill each day without the cost or worry of pool chemicals.

You will probably need more then one. I have a 18 by 48 pool and it works but I think 2 would be better.

Depending on the size of the pool, I would say a minimum of two, maybe even three. We bought a third set for our pop up tent but didn't use it. We kept them though for replacements or extras later on. The tent at least contains them. :) Remember you'll be picking them up when they spill. But I would definitely buy them again. Great colors, and they don't pop or crush.

I have used these for water fitness for years! They are AWESOME!! I buy the green ones, cut them into lengths of about 26 inches, tie a sturdy knot at the end - leaving a good amount of "tails". I try to dry them between classes, but after the talc washes off they stick. Putting more talc seems icky for the pool. I rinse, and towel dry, but after about 12 - 14 months of constant use 5-7 times a week, I need to toss them and make new ones. They get little black dots that have no surface but look weird. I thought it might be mold so I bleached them FOREVER and they were still there. But still, that is a lot of awesome arm and leg exercizing that I get for that year!

I don't keep them in the pool other than when we need them. We turn them on and off out of the water. Too many stories of the lights leaking from being left in the water for extended periods of time. Hope this helps..

We use them inside the pool. I don't know how stable they would be from the outside of the pool. You fill them with sand to hold them in place in the water. For safety reasons if you put these on the outside of the pool I think it would make it too easy for a child to get into the pool. I believe they make another model for outside of the pool.

no ... they will float around ... this is a great product IF they work, i ordered 6 and out of the 6 only 3 worked properly - keep the box they came in just in case they do not work - they are not very bright so you will need quite a few to make an impact

We started with 200 and they barely covered the bottom. Ended up with 800! Well worth it though. That was 6 years ago and our boys still use it and every friend that comes over goes straight for it. Now that they are older we do have to replace the pool about 2x year, but I stick with this one. It holds up gear.

I will have my husband measure and let you know. We have them in our 3ft inground pool and when stepping onto the first step. U are at like at ankle in water. Very nice steps.

Vow! Your pool is huge, but mine is small. I would suggest you using 2. You will love them taking care of your beautiful pool.

There are 150, as the product description says--I counted. We ended up buying two packs to fill the bottom of a 4' inflatable pool; I'll post photos at the end of the month.

they are not heavy at all outside of the pool. however, once in the pool, the resistance is definitely there. I found them to be just what I needed for an exercise plan.

Maybe enough room for 4-6 more. I put them into a 5 gallon pail w/ our other balls. Also, my son is a HS senior with small college hitting ability and these balls were totally destroyed after a few BP sessions. Youth usage only!!!!

These lasted longer, I think. I bought a bunch to last the summer and have about 5 left over. But my pool was smaller. I did run it 24/7 and skimmed it daily.
