Refreshing happiness is available to everyone.

In the summer heat, it is always nice to refresh yourself in a river or lake. But not all water bodies are within walking distance of a country house. The size of the site often also does not allow to place a stationary pool. It is in this case that a prefabricated frame pool is suitable. It can easily be placed on the "five hundredths." And this is no longer a luxury, but a very affordable reality.

Types of frame pools

The pool is a frame and a bowl of PVC. Some tanks have a three-layer construction - two layers of vinyl and a layer of polyester. They will withstand 40 tons of water. Frames can have different shapes and sizes, but structurally there are two types:

• The core frame of the pool. It consists of several hoops that are fixed on vertical rods. A bowl is placed inside, into which water is collected. The hoops themselves are assembled from several segments. A properly assembled pool on such a frame will be quite strong and stable. At the end of the season, this design can be disassembled. In the disassembled state, all the elements do not take up much space.

• Sheet frame pool. It is continuous, consists of individual plates that are interconnected. This design is stronger. The water bowl is protected more reliably. The plates are fastened using screw connections or special locks. Some manufacturers add ladders, water inlet hoses, and care products to the kit. In the disassembled state, such a frame takes up a little more space in comparison with the core. The assembly and disassembly process takes a little longer.

Frost-resistant models of pool frames have an anti-corrosion coating, their elements are made of steel.

Frame pool selection criteria

Before buying a frame pool, pay attention to several aspects.

• Initially, it is necessary to determine the shape and dimensions. If children will use the pool, it is advisable to limit themselves to one and a half meters of depth. Swimming pool for adults only - from 150 cm to 200, respectively.
• The operating experience of the frame pool shows that round and rectangular pools are most convenient. A bowl of a complex shape is much more difficult to clean, the water circulation in them is worse, and swimming is uncomfortable.
• Resistance to frost is also important. If you plan to use the frame pool stationary and immerse it in the soil, then you should give preference to frost-resistant structures. Such models have an additional coating on the frame elements, and a film is applied to the bowl material to protect it from frost.

• An important criterion for choosing a frame pool is the budget. Rod models are cheaper than sheet models. But in any case, pools with such frames significantly exceed the reliability of inflatable Chinese products.
• When choosing, it is desirable to pay attention to the thickness of the material of which the thicket is made. The greater the thickness, the better - it is more difficult to damage it, it will deform less during filling. Some models can additionally be equipped with reinforced mesh.
• All-season pools are usually installed permanently and require channels for supplying and discharging water. They need filtration systems. This will increase costs, but amenities will increase with them.

The nuances of installing a frame pool

Assembling a frame pool is a simple process, but some points should be taken into account. Read the assembly instructions first. When installing a frame pool, pay attention to the following points:

• There should not be ungrounded devices with dangerous voltage or electrical wiring nearby.
• The soil must be compacted before installation.
• The place for the frame pool should be flat (without dents and irregularities) and strictly horizontal.
• It is advisable to place the pool further from trees and shrubs - there will be less debris in the water.

• Access to the pool should be provided from any direction.
• It is not recommended to leave the pool overwinter at temperatures below minus 25 degrees.
• It is not advisable to have a pool near the buildings. In case of damage to the bowl, they will be flooded.

For small areas, frame pools are the middle ground between inflatable and stationary. They are convenient in operation, do not require large maintenance costs. Assembly does not take much time. Dimensions and shape can be chosen at your discretion: frame for pools can have sizes up to 10 meters. Additionally, you should consider purchasing filtering equipment. Without it, the water becomes cloudy, various bacteria appear in it. It is advisable to immediately purchase accessories for the care of the frame pool. After dismantling the frame pool, it is advisable to dry all the component parts before storage.

Design Features

By type of design can be inflatable, frame, stationary.

Inflatable products are the cheapest, in fact, these are containers made of PVC film, in a very durable version, reinforced with polyester fittings. The inflatable edging is filled with air. Such models are mobile, and their installation does not bode well.

PHOTO: moidachi.ru Inflatable products last about 5 years, if you follow the rules of use and care

Frame pools are represented by a sheet of metal, waterproofing and finishing from a package for a bowl based on PVC. For the price is quite budget. There are frost-resistant and summer options. Complete set is provided: a ladder for raising and lowering, a filtration, nozzles, hoses, a skimmer.

PHOTO: ivd.ru The view of the frame structure is much more aesthetic and interesting than the inflatable, moreover, it is more durable

Stationary structures are the most durable and strong: they are put for a long time and can not be transferred anywhere.

PHOTO: fotovmire.ru The choice of place should be thought out in advance

Such tanks are built both on the street and indoors. They are diverse in shape and size, and even the complete set will please everyone: equipping with a hydromassage, countercurrent, waterfall, geyser and lighting will make every bathing a happy moment in life!

No. 1. Advantages and disadvantages

A frame pool, as the name suggests, consists of a frame and a polyvinyl chloride bowl. The frame can be rod or sheet, its individual elements are firmly fixed to each other, after which a bowl is attached to them. The latter, as a rule, is made of two layers of vinyl and one layer of polyester, is highly durable and can easily withstand up to 50 tons of water, therefore, frame pools can be of a decent size and not inferior to the level of comfort to stationary analogues.

The main advantages of the frame pool:

• resistance to mechanical damage,
• resistance to temperature extremes, frosts and sunshine,
• decent life, especially in comparison with inflatable pools. With proper care, the wireframe model will last about 10 years,
• a wide variety of shapes and sizes,
• not the highest price
• relative ease of transportation and installation. Depending on the skill and size of the pool, installation will take from 1 hour to 2 days,
• Most models can be moved from one place to another.

Among disadvantages note only the difficulty of installing additional equipment. If you still can not decide which pool is better, frame or inflatable, answer your question, for what purposes, mainly, will the design be used. For children under 7 years old, an inflatable pool will be ideal, and for a complete family vacation it is better to choose a frame, if, of course, you have certain means.

No. 2. Frame type

Prefabricated frame pools, depending on the design features, can be divided into the following types:

• pivotal. The frame is made of vertical and horizontal stiffeners. Vertical racks are threaded through special sleeves on a vinyl cover, horizontal bars are attached to them. The design is simple and quick to assemble, but it is used mainly for pools of not very great depth,
• sectional or sheet. The frame is assembled from metal or plastic modules, which are fixed to each other by a locking connection or bolts, a PVC cover is pulled inside, which is attached thanks to special fittings. Such pools turn out to be stronger and more durable, they are easier to clean.

As a general summary, a few words about frame fixed pools. These are monolithic structures that are made of plastic or composite materials. They are designed for a permanent installation site, serve about 15 years, subject to appropriate care.

Number 3. Seasonal and frost-resistant frame pools

Depending on the possibility of using frame pools in the winter, they are divided into seasonal and frost-resistant (all-weather), sometimes stationary structures are allocated into a separate group.

Seasonal frame pools Designed for use only in the summer and in the fall are subject to disassembly. This is a good option for those who do not want to organize the preparation of the pool for the "wintering". Such pools are different low price and lightweight frame. In most cases, the PVC film will have to be changed every season, since such constructions usually use not very thick material, consisting of two layers of polyvinyl chloride, and it is damaged by jumping, swinging and other active games. The set for seasonal pools rarely includes everything you need.

Frost resistant frame pools They are distinguished by a more durable reinforced frame and a thick film, due to which the design can easily tolerate prolonged exposure to negative temperatures. There is an opinion that it is better to bury multi-season structures in the ground, but manufacturers unanimously declare that such pools will survive more than one winter, being located above the ground. The package includes almost all the necessary equipment for pool maintenance. Among the main the benefits high strength, no need to disassemble the structure before every winter, as well as decent durability (up to 15 years). On the other hand, you will have to very carefully choose a place to install the pool, because you are unlikely to move it later. Such designs will cost much more than seasonal and will require special preparation for the winter. As a bonus - the ability to use such a pool as a skating rink in the cold season, at least the manufacturers promise it.

Not very wide, but still represented in the market stationary prefabricated pools. They are assembled from the source elements only once, it will not be possible to disassemble the pool, therefore they approach the installation site with all responsibility. The frame is usually made of sheets of galvanized steel with a plastic coating, and the PVC bowl is impressive in thickness. Such designs are suitable for arranging very large pools, durability - about 15 years.

Number 4. The method of mounting a frame pool

According to the installation method, frame pools for summer cottages are:

• located on the surface of the earthpre-compacted or pre-cast in concrete. So most often they install seasonal folding structures of a small size,
• located in a specially dug pit. This option is only suitable for frost-resistant pools, mainly sheet construction. Arrangement will require several large expenses and efforts, but in the end you will get a full-fledged pool, the depth of which can reach 2-3 m if you wish. Another advantage is the ability to fit the pool into any style of landscape design, because the bumpers and the adjacent territory with garden paths can be designed as decorate with flowers and complement garden furniture. It turns out an excellent recreation area.

The choice in favor of a particular installation method is made depending on the seasonality of the use of the structure, and also taking into account the area allocated for the pool and the means for arrangement.

No. 5. Size and shape of the frame pool

The size of the frame pool is selected based on the area of ​​the site and the number of people who will bathe. From what is on sale today, it’s easy to find a suitable option: length ranges from 3 to 10 m and more, width - from 1 to 5 m, depth - from 0.5 to 2-3 m. The most popular bowl shape - round, also available in oval and rectangular designs, asymmetric pools can be found. The more complex the shape and the larger the size, the higher the price.

Compact frame pools with a depth of 1.5 m are perfect for a small area of ​​6-12 acres. Large pools will look good on spacious summer cottages. If the pond is equipped only for children, then a fairly small option will be suitable, since there will be no need for extra depth, and for a family holiday it is better to choose a more spacious pool, but, of course, within the existing area. Again, for children under 6-7 years old, it is better to take an inflatable pool.

On sale today even hydromassage pools are presented, which differ in the presence of nozzles, they supply water and air bubbles. As a rule, such designs are designed for a maximum of two.

No. 6. Where to put the frame pool

It is not enough just to find a good frame pool - you also need to choose a suitable place on the site for its installation. This is a guarantee of a long service life. It is better to place a pond near the source of water supply (water supply or well) and not under the crowns of trees, which are a source of shade and debris. It is advisable that the pool be located in close proximity to the drain and the power source. Do not forget that at least a little free space should remain around the structure to provide access to the pool. Preference is given to flat areas, the slope angle of a maximum of 5 degrees.

Pros and cons of the frame pool

Such systems are very diverse. Their depth can reach up to 2-3 m, the length of the sides up to 10 m. This is due to structural features. Each model is equipped with a frame made of metal sheets or rods, a bowl of plastic. The supporting elements are firmly fixed to each other. Then a film is attached to them. It can be two- or three-layer polyvinyl chloride or single polyester.

Pros

• The average life of 10 years, which is much longer than that of inflatable analogues.
• Resistance to ultraviolet radiation, to temperature extremes. All-season bowls are produced that tolerate frost. They do not need to be dismantled for the winter.
• Easy transportation and installation. The design is disassembled, compactly packed. It’s easy to assemble.
• Resistance to various mechanical damages. The most durable option is polyester.
• A variety of sizes and shapes.
• Relatively low price. It grows with increasing size, complicating the shape.

Stationary

Prefabricated monolithic systems. They are designed for permanent installation in one place. Dismantling and subsequent assembly are not intended. Made of composites or durable plastic. They withstand low temperatures, even frosts. When installed, they are sometimes buried in order to protect from the damaging effects of the cold. Manufacturers claim that this is unnecessary.

If served correctly, the tank will last at least 15 years. Stationary products most often have an expanded complete set. Their price is higher than that of other types of frames. Sometimes the manufacturer suggests using a buried stationary tank in winter as a skating rink.This is specified in the technical documentation.

Rod

The frame is composed of horizontally and vertically directed rods. They form stiffeners. Fastened with sleeves on a vinyl cover. Such a system is very easy to assemble, but applies only to tanks of shallow depth. Rod models have a limited margin of safety.

They are operated only in the warm season. For the winter dismantle. The film container needs to be replaced approximately once a season. If necessary, the pool is easy to move to another place. Dismantling and subsequent installation is quick. The price of bar products is the lowest of all frames.

Sectional

The second name is leafy. They got their name due to the presence of plastic or metal modules in the form of sheets. They are fixed to each other by bolt or lock joints. In this way, a solid frame is assembled. A plastic cover is pulled over it, fastened with special fittings.

The design is much stronger than the rod. Depth and size of the bowl are different. Among the sectional tanks there are multi-season ones that do not need to be cleaned in the cold season. But for the most part these are still seasonal designs. They are strong enough with a sturdy frame. This makes their maintenance easier.

The choice of a frame pool for a summer residence is determined by the goal - what is it for? Will only children splash in it, if so, then what age. Or family bathing is planned. You need to know where to install it. Is there enough free space for a large structure. Having determined the approximate dimensions and configuration, you can go to the store.

Choose shape and size

The assortment of wireframe models is very wide. The minimum length of the side of the tank is 0.6 m, the maximum is 10 m. Depth varies from 0.5 to 2.5-3 m. You can find a small bowl for babies and a tank for bathing a large family. The standard shape of the wireframe is a circle. There are rectangles and ovals. Asymmetric containers of complex shapes are produced. Their price, respectively, is higher.

Some manufacturers produce hydromassage systems. They are equipped with several nozzles through which air and water are supplied. As a rule, such models can accommodate no more than two people. The size of the reservoir is often determined by the free area where it is supposed to be installed. So, for a small cottage, optimal reservoirs are about 1.5 m deep. They are compact, but at the same time quite roomy. They bathe children and adults.

We determine the installation method

The installation method may depend on which frame pool is better to choose. There are two options.

• Installation on a prepared site. The site is poured with concrete or at least rammed well. It should be as even as possible. In this way, seasonal tanks of small depth are set.
• Installation in the pit. Suitable for frost-resistant sheet and standard systems. Their depth can reach 3 m. The method is time-consuming, but the result is a full bowl. It is made out, taking into account features of landscape design.

We look at a complete set

It is good if the kit includes everything that is necessary for normal operation. Otherwise, you will have to buy all the necessary accessories. Almost always there is a filter cartridge for water treatment. True, it does not always work efficiently. You have to additionally buy a sand or any other filter. Some models are equipped with a skimmer.

The device is designed to clean the surface of the water. It draws large contaminants from the surface like leaves, grass, etc. It is preferable to design with two nozzles, where one is responsible for water intake, the second for its discharge. The complete set includes a ladder, a container underlay, a pump, hoses, a plastic cover, used as a soft cover.

Benefits

1. Operational installation. Depending on the model, size and manufacturer, the assembly takes from several hours to two days.
   
2. Mobility. The frame can be moved from one site to another almost as easily as an inflatable pool.

Price and Name

Cost frame ponds largely depends on the characteristics, but also it is formed under the influence of the brand.

The most famous manufacturers: INTEX and Bestway (China). Their products are largely similar and cost approximately the same. The only difference is that INTEX's similar design pools are higher, larger and equipped with a more powerful pump filter.

Czech Republic represented by brand Azuro, Canada - Atlantic pool, Germany - Unipool and Sunny pool.

We pay attention to technical points

1. Frame can be rod or sheet. In the first case, the film is mounted on special crossbars and supported by stiffeners. The design is easy to assemble, but has a relatively shallow depth. The leaf options are very durable, they are easy to clean, and the depth can reach 2 meters.
   
2. Distinguish by volume subcompact baby models and subcompact, family.
   
3. Operational features. Artificial prefabricated ponds can be seasonal (installed for spring-summer and then stored) and inter-season or frost-resistant (protection is provided in case of freezing water, that is, the pool can be left assembled outside for the winter).

Which frame pool is better?

Artificial prefabricated ponds are rectangular, oval or round. Area, depth and material vary by model. Shelf life is determined by the quantity and quality of the PVC interlayers that make up the pool bowl, as well as the thickness of the supports and rigid ribs.

Optimum for giving frost-resistant frame structures: they endure transportation and last several years longer than their seasonal counterparts. Even if they will spend every winter at the installation site.

In addition to the fortified case, these products receive better accessories. In the case of seasonal pools, you have to additionally buy filters and a skimmer - those that are supplied do not cope with the loads. The protective film for seasonal ponds is thin, similar to a plastic burlap (especially from Chinese firms). It is washed and stretched over a year, while frost-resistant structures are equipped with a film of proper quality.

Purchase - This is the result of weighing the technical parameters of the product, taking into account the capabilities of a family wallet.

So, the price of frost-resistant products is justified by the service life, 7-10 years longer than the period of operation of the seasonal model, and a more diverse design. And in the end, it turns out that for a number of parameters the inter-season pools are better than those that are mounted only in spring and summer. But the most popular and affordable are children's frame pools, so every manufacturer tries to present this category as widely as possible.

And which of the structures will "settle" at your dacha?

Production material

The material directly speaks about the reliability and service life of the product, in addition, it also offers various decor options.

The concrete tank is durable, although expensive. Depth and size can be done any. You can finish this design by any means, turning the bowl, for example, into a Moorish bath.

PHOTO: wi-fi.ru The tank allows any method of water overflow. The construction of such a pool is time-consuming and long-term

Fiberglass is a modern composite material consisting of polyester organic resins and glass flagella. The strength of the bowl is very high, there will be no cracks in it, as well as an excessive consumption of electricity for heating. On this surface, bacteria practically do not multiply and algae do not grow. The service life of the fiberglass reservoir is unlimited.

Polypropylene is inexpensive, the shapes and sizes of such pools are diverse.

PHOTO: miremonta.ru These are resistant and durable products that need to be installed in finished pits with a concrete bottom

Stainless steel is also used in the manufacture of swimming pools for summer cottages: this design looks modern, and any equipment is allowed. The frame is assembled from special modules with your own hands.

Overflow method

All pools according to the overflow method are divided into two types: skimmer and overflow. The first option is cheaper and its task is to fill the tank so that there is 15 cm to the top edge. Such a skimmer filter helps keep the structure clean.

The overflow design is based on a grid mounted along the sides. Overflowing through it, water flows back into the tank. Such a pool is fully filled.

Finishing method

Different types of pools use their own finishes. Tiled or mosaic version is good for concrete construction. Blue or green polypropylene can be coated for different materials.

Advantages and disadvantages of different types of pools

Well, where without discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of a particular subject? After all, our money is being spent, in return it is expected to receive a mass of emotions. If you buy a thing that does not meet expectations, then no pleasure can be properly received. So, what about the features of different designs of swimming pools for summer cottages?

The stationary version requires serious, fairly large-scale work on the construction of the tank, coordination when laying communications, if the desired item will be installed directly in the house, taking into account the level of groundwater. The cost of work, even if you do everything yourself - is quite substantial.

PHOTO: swimpool.com.ua All work pays off with a beautiful appearance and a very long term of use

Also, do not forget to say that the shape of the product is chosen by its future owner, there are no prohibitions here.

A cheaper option is inflatable: these are compact models that are easy to place on any flat surface. After summer, the structure is blown away and stored perfectly until the next season when folded. It is a pity that, nevertheless, the service life is short: only 3-5 years with the need for regular pumping during use.

PHOTO: maxipool.com.ua For children this option will be most suitable, although there are long models with a depth of 1.2 m and a length of 5 m

The advantage of wireframe models is their reliability. The frame is based on strong metal, and the bottom and walls are made of PVC with polyester, which also contributes to strength and durability. The capacity of such structures is decent, and it’s also nice that they can be equipped with filters and any other equipment.

There are also plastic pools, which are of the stationary type: the material is resistant to mechanical damage and temperature, they are not threatened by UV rays and leaks. You can find a model for overhead installation in a wooden frame.

PHOTO: tsvetnik.info The advantage of plastic is that the tank can be curved or simple

Additional equipment

Just a pool is not bad. But if it is equipped with all sorts of useful elements, this will significantly improve its capabilities. The filtration system allows you to keep the water transparent and clean, the canopy prevents heat and sunstroke, protects the water from bad weather, the flooring makes the look cultural, and the bathing area is convenient.

Number 7. Frame pool equipment

Always pay attention to what is included in the pool package. As a rule, the manufacturer supplies a lot of accessories along with the frame and the PVC bowl - otherwise you will have to buy everything you need, so do not rush at a too low price. The kit, as a rule, includes a ladder, a substrate, a canopy, a pump and devices for cleaning and filtering water. Often, the manufacturer also encloses instructions for installing and maintaining the pool, and sometimes releases it in video format.

Number 8. Installation of the frame pool: the main stages

You can cope with the installation of the frame pool yourself - this is a key advantage over full-fledged stationary structures. To install large pools, you may need help from a partner. The process of installing a frame pool consists of the following stages:

• foundation preparation. All stones, branches, sharp and hard objects are removed from the intended installation site, it is also advisable to completely get rid of grass and roots, which can damage the pool during its operation. It remains only to spread the litter, which is included or purchased separately. The pool, which will be used year-round, can be buried in the ground to the full height of the structure or partially. To do this, dig a pit, cover it with a layer of sand and gravel 15-20 cm thick and make a concrete pillow of the same thickness. It is desirable to strengthen the walls of the pit, a brick is suitable for these purposes,
• frame assembly. The sheet frame for round and oval pools is quite simple to deploy, install on the selected surface, and then place the bowl in it. The sheet frame for square and rectangular pools is assembled from separate parts that are fixed with screws, the joints are treated with sealant. When assembling the core pool, you must first place vertical guides in the pockets of the vinyl cover, then install horizontal guides, and then connect them together. If the bottom is not concrete, and the soil on the site is loose, then under each support it is better to put a wooden block or paving slabs,
• filter pump connection carried out according to the instructions, all hoses and other necessary elements must be included. Do not turn on the filter without water. To equip the frame pool using cartridge and sand filters. Paper cartridges will have to be changed 2-3 times a week, and special quartz sand - once every 3-5 years,
• installation of stairs and filling the pool with water.

No. 9. Frame pool care: cleaning and wintering

The main care for the pool is to keep it clean. Without special filtering equipment, crystal clear water after a week of use will turn into a foul-smelling liquid, dangerous for swimming.

To filter water in a frame pool, you must use:

• filter pump, which eliminates mechanical pollution, is usually included.
• skimmercleaning the surface of the water from mechanical impurities,
• nets and brushes for catching large debris and cleaning walls,
• chemicals, without which it will not be possible to maintain the bacteriological purity of water. Some models are equipped with filter pumps. chlorine generatorworking on ordinary table salt. In this case, additional processing is minimal and comes down only to the use of disinfectants. In all other cases, the use of special chemistry is indispensable. The necessary substances are sold in sets, and their use is reduced to control the level of acidity and the addition of chlorine-containing components. To dissolve solids, a special float is used, which is often combined with a thermometer.

Another important issue is preparing the pool for winter:

• seasonal designs disassembled, all elements are thoroughly washed (pay special attention to the water line), thoroughly dried and stored in winter in a room with a plus temperature. The instructions should indicate how to properly fold all the elements for long-term storage,
• all season designs can also be disassembled, but more often they are left for the winter on the site - the final decision is made depending on the climatic characteristics of the region. If in the cold season the temperature drops below -25 0 C, then experts recommend disassembling even all-season pools.In other cases, spend conservation (owners of stationary frame pools cannot do without it). Preparatory work begins at temperatures of 13-15 0 C. It is necessary to drain part of the water, leaving a little in the bowl so that the soil does not damage the structure. This is followed by cleaning the walls, chemical treatment of water, washing equipment and the uniform distribution of plastic bottles or cans in the water. Now it remains only to cover the pool with a frost-resistant awning and wait for the next bathing season.

No. 10. The best manufacturers of frame pools

The name of the manufacturer is a kind of quality guarantee. By the way, large companies offer a very real guarantee on their products, so it is better to give preference when choosing their products. Insignificant savings when buying dubious products can eventually turn sideways, and you can’t buy a new pool for the saved amount. Trust is better trusted pool manufacturers, among which:

• Intex - The world leader in the production of inflatable and frame pools. The company was founded in 1964 in Los Angeles, today factories are located around the world, and products are sold in hundreds of countries. The assortment of frame pools is huge, you can find models of different sizes, but all of them are of the highest quality and affordable price,
• Bestway - A Chinese company, whose assortment of frame pools is also considerable. All of them are made of triple reinforced film, and the frame is reliably protected from corrosion. Prices are average
• Uni pool - A German company with 40 years of history. It produces higher quality frame pools, specializing in sheet models. German quality has always been in price, so Uni Pools will cost more than Intex or Bestway,
• Azuro - a good Czech manufacturer, which pays attention to every detail, so the frame pools are high-quality and durable,
• Atlantic pool - Canadian-made pools, which are now in demand in 90 countries. All models are equipped with a sand filter (it is better than usual on paper cartridges) and a skimmer, almost all structures are frost-resistant,
• SunnyPool - a German company whose pools are not very widespread in the domestic market, but are still in demand among those who are willing to pay for the highest quality,
• Krulland - Another German manufacturer, in the range of pools of different sizes and shapes, the maximum depth is 2 m.

Given all these recommendations, everyone will be able to find the perfect frame pool for their summer cottage.

Which company to choose a frame pool

A kind of guarantee is the name of the manufacturer. Well-known companies value their reputation. They monitor the quality of products, give a guarantee on it. No need to try to get momentary benefits, buy a very cheap product from an unknown company. The joy of shopping may soon turn into disappointment. Have to buy a new thing. The money saved is not enough. Here is a list of well-established manufacturers.

Intex

The company appeared in the middle of the last century in Los Angeles. Its plants operate in different countries of the world. The brand lineup includes small children's bowls and full-sized designs for adults. Intex products feature is an affordable price combined with high quality. The company produces wire frames. In addition, it produces all the accessories necessary for them: pumps, stairs, etc. There are no problems with the repair, selection and replacement of consumables.

Bestway

Chinese manufacturer operating in the middle price segment. All of its products are equipped with containers of reinforced three-layer PVC film. This increases the strength of the tank, simplifies maintenance, and extends the service life. In the range there are no expensive exclusive models. The brand is counting on the middle class. Spare parts and consumables can always be found on sale.

Atlantic pool

Canadian company. Its products are sold in more than 90 countries. It produces mainly multi-season designs, there are very few summer ones. Each model is equipped with a sand filter. They purify water much better than paper cartridges. In addition, a skimmer is required.

Choosing the right frame pool is easy. The solution will tell you the area where the bowl will be installed. In accordance with its dimensions, the volume, type, method of installation of the structure is determined. After that, it remains to choose the appropriate model in the store. Put her and enjoy the coolness of the water in the strongest heat.

Filtration systems

The filter purifies the water from any impurities that try to make the water cloudy and foul-smelling - swimming in such a swamp will be both unpleasant and dangerous to health.

Sand filters are not the most effective, but they are inexpensive. Outwardly, it is a sand reservoir through which all water passes. The downside is that the sand insidiously penetrates where it should not be, settling and becoming the cause of pollution.

Sand will not filter out particles with a size of 20-25 microns. The rate of purification is quite high, water consumption, too.

Diatom cleaners work on the basis of the eponymous earth mixture, which, in turn, consists of many particles of fossil plankton. This composition covers the cartridges for cleaning.

PHOTO: b.folklove.me Someone considers space prices for diatom filters, but such an effective work is worth it: they contain particles of 3-4 microns

Important! The diatom mixture from the cartridge must be disposed of correctly; it is best to do this with the help of a specialist.

The cartridge filter is popular for its price and quality, and is also quite simple to use. Its device is simple: inside is a plate made of polyester, which will not allow particles of 5-10 microns to pass through. During cleaning, the cartridge is removed and rinsed under running water.

Canopy

The need for a canopy sets for himself everyone. The central and southern region of the Russian Federation in this matter is just recommended to install a canopy - the sun shines there pretty well. The plus will be that you can swim not only in good, but also in rainy weather.

If the font area is large, then it makes sense to establish a polycarbonate pavilion over the entire bathing area. Sliding panels simplify its use, allowing you to adjust the temperature and humidity inside.

Flooring and stairs

How to choose a country pool for your own pleasure

The choice involves a combination of price, quality and appearance. The price determines our purchasing opportunities, quality determines the product’s service life, and our sympathies will tell you whether the purchase will delight us at an aesthetic level. Having revealed how much the desired model of the pool corresponds to these three factors, we begin to find out whether the bathing bowl is comfortable, what kind of equipment it has, and whether its dimensions are suitable for our summer cottage.

Who wants to start swimming on the day of purchase, he can purchase an inflatable or frame pool. The first is mounted not so long, and the second is inflated quickly using a pump.

If we consider the options for the frame tank from China and Europe, the quality of the Europeans is higher, but the equipment is often entirely included in the price of the Chinese pool.

Adherents of a thorough approach should pay attention to stationary options. In addition, this is another way to make a beautiful accent in the landscape design on the site.

Pools made of composite material are popular in Europe. To buy a finished bowl is quite expensive. They will bring it ready-made, and a crane is needed to install the overall product. This is the highest quality type of water tank for swimming.

We use the cottage pool correctly

We will not waste money in vain and take care of the safety of the pool in the country:

• we fill it with tap water
• do not use obscure chemicals of dubious origin for cleaning purposes,
• we take into account that a sharp temperature difference during the filling of the bowl is dangerous. Water should not be colder or hotter than 25-27ºС,
• Before you climb into the pool, be sure to take a shower or bath.

The operating rules are not tricky, but you need to follow them!

Maintenance and care

All pools should be cleaned periodically. Make it chlorine or bromine. Chlorine is released through a dispenser, and its final content must be tested with a special kit. Bromine does not smell, it costs more. You can also clean the water with oxygen, which will be the best option.

Physical cleaning is performed by a net, catching visible rubbish manually, sand is washed from the bottom by a filter.

Advice! It is worth using UV lamps, they will clean the water best.
