How to choose an inflatable pool?

September 24, 2019

In the summer, the heat and stuffy air sap much of our energy. Water is one of the indispensable messiahs at this time, and going out on the weekend is an important sacred act.

Our summer cottages are especially sacred. If, of course, we have them. And if there is a river flowing near our houses, then we are even luckier. But what can we do, whose summer cottages do not have a river, or whose small children we are afraid of letting them swim unsupervised, or whose backyards we want to swim and sunbathe in, or whose summer cottages we do not have at all and whose homes we are stuck in?!

In this and other cases, we can buy a pool. However, not the kind of pool we see in Los Angeles, Hollywood movies, but an inflatable or frame one, in a word - one that is easy to install. The main thing is to have a yard, a small space, and Georgian Water and Power to be friendly in terms of water supply.

What types of pools are there? - Inflatable, frame and stationary. We will tell you about the first two types.

Inflatable pool

We can conditionally divide this type of pool into subcategories: for adults and for children . The difference is mainly in size and design.

Inflatable pools are usually quite easy to install . Inflating them takes a few minutes, and filling them with water is also easy. However, the larger the pool, the longer it takes to inflate and fill it with water. Maintaining it is also not a big problem. Pools often come with a filter, which protects it from contamination.

The main advantages of an inflatable pool :

Easy installation
Mobility - easy to carry
Compact - the folded pool takes up very little space
Installation on any surface (naturally, a flat surface is assumed)
Affordable price - an inflatable pool is very inexpensive compared to other pools

Keep in mind - it requires good care and may crack if scratched.

Children's pool - There is a fairly large selection of children's pools on the market. The only thing to consider is age, and therefore - volume, height and diameter. If your little one is 1-3 years old, the desired pool volume will be up to 50 liters, and the height - 20-25 cm.

If we choose a pool for adults and their age is over 3 years, the data will increase accordingly. In such a case, the volume of the pool reaches up to 700 liters, and the height reaches up to 40 cm.

In addition, when choosing a children's pool, great attention is paid to its image. The choice in this regard is also large. On the walls of a children's pool, characters from animated films or comics are often found, that is, things that children find fascinating.

You can also choose umbrella-covered pools for the little ones, which will protect them from the sun's rays. And if you have restless children and they often get bored of staying in one place, choose the so-called mini water park. It will not only cool them down, but also entertain them.

There are inflatable pools with a volume of 6000 liters. The wall covering is mainly vinyl, the overall material is PVC. The set sometimes includes a pump, mattress, cover and filter.

Tip - To ensure safe swimming, be sure to purchase a filter and replace its cartridge frequently.

Frame pool - Frame pools are more durable than inflatable pools. They are prefabricated structures that come in various shapes and sizes. They do not need to be inflated and set up every time. Frame pools are available for both children and adults.

Installation takes about 1 hour. It depends on the size. Pools of this type are quite large in volume, sometimes exceeding 30,000 liters.

Assembling the frame is easy. The main thing is to follow the instructions correctly. As a rule, the frame material is metal, which has a protective coating.

Frame pools are divided into several types - seasonal and frost-resistant. A seasonal pool requires installation every year - it must be assembled in the spring and dismantled in the fall. The frame, walls and floor of a frost-resistant pool can withstand cold temperatures and does not require maintenance. Seasonal pools have a ladder, filter and water intake/discharge nozzles.

Summary - Inflatable and frame pools are an ideal solution in the heat. If you are looking for a solid and large pool and you have the financial means to do so, then it is better to choose a frame pool. It will serve you not only for one season, but also for several years.

If you need a simple and inexpensive way to beat the heat, choose an inflatable pool that you can easily inflate, deflate, and take anywhere.
