Why are round pools better than rectangular ones?
What shape of the pool to choose, round or rectangular - in many respects the answer to this question depends on the preferences of the buyer, free space on the site and the purpose of the reservoir. But, like every piece, round pools have certain advantages and disadvantages. Based on the mix of positive and negative parameters, you can figure out where round is better.

For the maintenance of household tanks, we recommend that you immediately purchase submersible or stationary pumping equipment, various brushes and nets, chemicals for washing the walls and bottom.
At the end of the season, temporary pools are dismantled, washed and stored in some kind of pavilion, garage or barn. Water is completely or partially pumped out of all-season tanks, they should be covered with a canopy or awning to protect against debris, foliage and other unnecessary elements.
