For such a pool, no additional equipment is required. It is easy to take care of it: there is practically no need to clean it, it is enough to periodically change the water.

Choice
Before choosing a pool, you should decide exactly which option from the ones discussed above you want to buy for your apartment. If you are looking for a more functional model with additional configurations, it is worth choosing the right spa option, but it comes at a cost. If you are looking for a simpler and cheaper pool, then you can get by with an inflatable model.
Pay attention to the materials from which the pool is made. They must be of high quality, environmentally friendly, safe and reliable. Before buying such a pool, you need to carefully examine it. There should be no defects in the material. If there are additional functions, you need to make sure they work correctly.
When choosing the optimal device, one should not forget about the correspondence between the dimensions of the structure itself and the footage of the room. Traditionally, it is recommended to choose products from well-known brands.
Installation
Consider installing a pool with your own hands using the example of a frame model in an apartment building. After a specialist has researched all the necessary parameters, you can start strengthening the bottom of the pool: lay out roofing material in several layers, fix it with mastic and coat with sealant. At the next stage, you can expose the frame and fix the bowl on it. After all the work done, it remains to connect the water supply and sewerage pipes to the pool.
