Selecting pool: collecting or inflatable?

Having a private pool – the dream of millions of people. Someone carries this dream by starting a complex process of construction of a permanent, concrete-tiled pond. Well – it is very well. If there is a lot of money. And if there is time and opportunity to take care of such a pool. And if you have a lot of extra space on the site ...

It is much easier, cheaper and more convenient to buy (not build) a small, but nevertheless, comfortable swimming pool roaming. That is so that you can occasionally clean, freeing up space in the area and protecting the pool from the weather.

Such pools are available now in very large numbers and in a variety of ways. In general, they are all comfortable. They can afford to buy a person with ordinary, the average income.

But how to understand the species diversity of the pool? How to choose the one that is most appropriate?

Let's start with the fact that swimming pools can be divided into small-sized (a little more than a large bath) and full size (these can safely swim and any adult). If in the country a little bit of free space, if you need to water treatment by themselves, but you can still swim in the river are about – buy small pools. In hot summer you will always have the opportunity to freshen up. If you decide to pamper yourself, friends and children the possibility of swimming in their own pool – purchase a full-sized family pool. And really, why somewhere for a long time to assemble, to go, to walk, if you can go down to the porch and immediately plunge into the cushy vodichku own pond? Yes, and easier to teach children to swim in this pool, rather than in a deep river with a rocky bottom!

We return to the classification. In addition to size separation, there is another way to distinguish between pools. Pools are prefabricated (prefab) and inflatable. As a rule, small pools – inflatable. (What do you see, does not mean that large inflatable pools does not happen).

Small inflatable pools, as already mentioned, designed primarily for bathing in the open air, and for children. They are compact, easy. But if you have a full-size swimming pool is important, you certainly will wonder: what better to buy – assembly or inflatable?

Here, from the outset it should be noted two points. First, large inflatable pools differ from the small fact that the sides and the bottom do not have airbags. Fills the air requires only the upper part of – camera ring. Second, the maximum diameter (length) frame pools larger than the maximum diameter of similar inflatable. That is the largest precast pool bigger and bulkier the largest inflatable pool. At the same depth.

Frame pools are more stable, they have a rigid structure, as supported metal (or plastic) frame. Due to this, and there is a manufacturer the opportunity to collecting large inflatable pool. Available frame encircling polypropylene tape contribute to the fact that such pools can swim at the same time, without the risk of deformation of the sides, more and more people.

Inflatable less bulky design of a lot easier. And therefore, to assemble and disassemble inflatable pools is also easier and faster. If the installation of the frame away from the pool 30 to 45 minutes, to prepare an inflatable just 10-15 minutes. Inflatable pools several times weigh less. Non-operating occupy an insignificant place, so they are more transportable, easier to store them.

And those other pools have the same quantity and quality of commercially available (often – included) accessories. This pump filter (keep the water in the sanitary norm), and all kinds of accessories for manual cleaning and litter (to protect the bottom) and tents (for protection from falling leaves and jumping insects). However, tents are attached to the prefabricated pools safer. In that sense, it is possible to grasp the edges of the tent to half the height of the bead. This helps to better protect the pool of excess – rain - water. While for inflatable pools there is a risk of water accumulation on the awning, which can lead to deformation (stretching) boards.

Frame pools due to the rigidity of the structure, characteristics of mounting awning more suitable for long-term use without changing the location (and not convenient to move a pool). Inflatables, in principle, also possible to leave a couple of weeks (if not expect a sharp change of weather and significant rains). But we should always remember the absence of any framework was (the side supported by the Archimedes force buoyancy air ring up). On the other hand, it is the absence of very convenient – in case of need, it is easy to make out a pool or relocate to another place without disassembling the final.

Now let's summarize our research.

Prefabricated (prefab) pools:

1. may be more than
2. have a rigid structure
3. side a little exposed to the strain
4. You can leave a long term

Inflatable Pools:

1. quickly assembled and disassembled
2. deflated take up little space, easy to store
3. transportable
4. You can quickly be moved to another location

Obviously, a large frame more profitable to buy a swimming pool for those who have a relatively large suburban area, and those in whose country house someone lives a long time. Inflatable pool is available in case you are not able to allocate to the installation of a large area of ​​the pool for the long term, as well as if you're not too often, and appears briefly in the country.
