We used to have a fair size intex pool. I dont remember exact size but must have been 15 ft across or so. It was great toy for the kids and as someone mentioned kids don't care much about the temperature. I'd drop in a couple times a year, but if I remember correctly, it was only really warm for about the last few weeks of July and week or two into August. Our nights just are just too cool to maintain any warmth in the water otherwise.
Don'''t let that stop you though. They're pretty cheap fun, the kids will love it and will use it ALL summer. The only down side is you'll have a huge dead circle of grass where it sits after its taken down, unless you put it on a patio or something. Also, the grass gets kinda stinky and slimy around the edge of it after a while as it's pretty much impossible to mow or trim right up to it. After the first summer we had ours, I got a load of sand, spread it out, and placed it on that. Made for a softer bottom and easier to look after the grass.
