Large inflatable pools: characteristics, assortment, choice

Many city dwellers spend the summer vacationing at their dachas, but not all of them have a bathing pond near the site. You can solve this problem by installing your own pool. There are various models, each with its own characteristics.

Compared to other types of pools, inflatable models have a number of features. As a material, many manufacturers use polyvinyl chloride, which is laid in 3 layers for structural reliability. If the model is intended for use by adults, then a special polyester mesh is used to reinforce it. The dimensions of the largest inflatable pool, designed for the simultaneous presence of more than 5 adults, are 610x366 cm.

• lower price in comparison with other types;

Among the entire range of inflatable pools, there are several options that are most in demand by users. All of them have a number of advantages and disadvantages that must be considered when choosing a suitable model.

The model holds an impressive 16.6 cubic meters of water. The pool is equipped with a pump with a capacity of 3028 liters per hour. As a cleaning system, a special replaceable cartridge is used, which allows for a rough cleaning of the water. Pool Bestway Oval Fsat Set 56153 can be installed on almost any surface thanks to the presence of a special mat.

Another model of pools from this manufacturer with the index 57243 differs from the previous bowl volume, which is 2300 liters. Its dimensions can accommodate up to 4 people at the same time. The manufacturer positions this model as a pool for children, therefore, images of marine inhabitants are applied on the inside of the pool, which are made using 3-D technology. This model comes with two pairs of children's diving goggles.

There is no additional bedding, but the pool can be easily installed on any surface due to the increased rigidity of the bottom. After installation, it is necessary to fill the walls of the pool with air using a pump. The entire installation process of this model will take no more than 15 minutes. If additional water purification is required, then it is necessary to purchase a filter. It is installed in a special hole in the pool wall.

This is the largest model on the market. The dimensions of the INTEX OVAL FRAME 28194 pool are 610x366 cm, and the depth is 122 cm. In it, every adult can feel comfortable, enjoy a pleasant cool, swim and dive a little. With a full ladder, getting in and out of the pool is easy enough. The powerful pump fills the pool with water in a matter of minutes. To protect against the ingress of debris, the manufacturer has provided a convenient awning.

There are several main characteristics by which you can choose the most suitable model.

Pools can be designed for children or families. Children's models are made of bright materials with drawings and can be equipped with slides, awnings, toys and other entertainment elements. Small dimensions and depth make it possible to create comfortable and safe conditions for a child's rest. Family models are much larger, so adults can also swim in them.

There are 3 types of pools.

• Inflatable... Inexpensive models that are quick to install and easy to transport. Unlike other designs, inflatable models have a limited lifespan.
• Wireframe. They are made of plastic or metal, which ensures their durability and immunity to external factors. These are more expensive than inflatable models and require additional maintenance.
• Frame-inflatable... They combine all the advantages of inflatable and frame pools, but at the same time their price is much higher than similar models of other structures.

This characteristic does not affect the practicality of the model in any way. Before buying, you need to decide on the installation site and choose the right shape. Non-standard dimensions can have models equipped with built-in slides, arches and other attributes.

In some children's pools, the walls are made of transparent material. This allows the parents to have full control over the bathing process of the child.

Manufacturers can equip their products with various useful options, among the most common options are.

• Filter pump. Allows you to organize the circulation of water and clean it from pollution.
• Drain valve. Allows you to quickly drain the water from the bowl, which is especially important for large models.
• Spray fountain. Children's pools are equipped.
• Litter under the bottom... It is used to level the area on which the pool is planned to be installed.
• Awning... Allows you to cover the bowl, preventing foreign objects from entering the water.
• Ladders. For deep pools, a ladder is required.
