Frame pool: what is it
Frame pool This is a quick and affordable way to organize a place of rest on your personal plot.
From the name itself it is already clear that the frame pool is a frame structure. In other words, frame pool This is a factory-made film pool (with a predetermined shape and size), mounted on a flat, durable, pre-prepared platform with a substrate or in a small pool bowl dug in the ground. The film is attached to the frame using fittings supplied with the frame pool itself. Plus, the shape of such a pool is kept by the water poured into it.
Frame pool: views
By frame type, all frame pools can be divided into:
- Rod: the frame is a set of crossbars, stiffeners, on which the film of the pool walls is attached. This design is very quickly assembled and disassembled and is quite durable. But, it is used in frame pools of relatively shallow depth.
- Sheet:more labor-intensive, in comparison with the rod type of the frame, the type of frame for the pool, but more durable and capital, because sheet frame gives rigidity and strength to the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe walls. Such a pool is easier to clean.
By appointment:
- children: small, shallow, similar to small baths, but real pools for babies, giving them real joy from swimming.
- for the whole family: the depth and size of these pools can be of absolutely any size (width, length and depth) and shapes (round, oval, rectangular).
By the method, duration and operating conditions:
- seasonal: such frame pools are installed as necessary, for the spring-summer period. With the lack of opportunities and the need for bathing, they are disassembled and put away for storage in the room.
- frost resistant:such a frame pool requires more stationary installation and preparation of the site for its location, because he will have to serve more than one year (with luck) and does not require dismantling for the winter period.
By installation method:
- located on the surface (on a flat rammed or flooded with cement): most often these are frame pools of small depth and / or seasonal structures.
- located in a specially dug pit (bowl): Naturally, such a design is more economical and energy-consuming, but stationary. Therefore, the frame pool mounted in this way should be frost-resistant and deep enough. Most often, for these purposes use sheet frame pools. The frame pool installed in this way fits perfectly into the landscape of any garden or suburban area, as part of the sides and the area around the makeshift lake can be decorated in any style: wood, stone, tiles.
Frame pool: advantages and disadvantages
Frame pools for a summer residence just a find!
The advantages of frame pools, according to manufacturers, are:
- the cost of frame pools, whether it is an intex or bestway frame pool, is very affordable for anyone who wants to arrange a pool at their summer cottage.
- frame pools, being nonetheless film-like, have dimensions that are quite convenient for transportation, weight: you can bring a real pool yourself from the store to the cottage by car!
- frame pools, with the exception of children's pools, perhaps, because this is a finished product, they are equipped, without fail, with a substrate, a system of filters, pumps, a net for cleaning floating debris, a bottom vacuum cleaner, a ladder for a pool, a covering film (acts as a cover that protects the pool and water in it from debris, leaves , insects and excessive exposure to sunlight). Lighting is also possible so that the frame pool is almost real!
- installation of the frame pool, even with a stationary installation, is quite accessible to any person: someone claims that he can assemble his frame pool in the country in 30 minutes, someone in 2-3 hours and even with a stationary installation of the frame pool can meet 1-2 days.
Frame pool - affordable, quickly and easily mounted with your own hands solid advantages!
But, unfortunately, there are some pitfalls-deficiencies identified during operation, which, if you know about them, you can eliminate and improve the quality of your life, and simplify the operation of your frame pool.
The disadvantages of frame pools that you can fight:
- the apparent cheapness and accessibility of frame pools for the whole family is not, in fact, because for the full operation of the pool you need to change something, i.e., separately and additionally spend money: on a skimmer, because The garbage net supplied with the pool does not cope with the task,
new sand filter, as again, the filter supplied with the pool is not able to get rid of the turbidity and arising, even in clean, seemingly tap water, greenery and mucus. Such a sand filter costs almost the same as a standard frame pool for 10 m3 of water.
- the ladder and a cover for the pool supplied in the set also require improvement. The stairs are rather unstable and flimsy, except for children.
And the lid is not very convenient to use and after the first season it can completely fail: it fades and creeps from the sun.
- cleaning the pool, in case of its blooming (out of operation) is very laborious, especially since the chemicals for the frame, as well as for the film pool should be used very carefully. Therefore, if you are leaving for a long time, and the pool will not be operated, drain all the water to the last drop.
How to choose the frame pool
With what the frame pool, its views, as well as pluses and minuses, we have already become familiar, now we have to answer the important question: which frame pool to choose?
Considering that the leaders in our market are frame pools manufactured by intex and bestway, we’ll talk about them.
To begin with, the bestway frame pool is by and large a complete analogue of that, but, manufactured by intex:
- similar price,
- similar models,
- similar equipment
- interchangeable components in almost all models of frame pools of these companies: filters, covers, substrates, etc.
- All models of frame pools of these companies can be equipped with filters and pumps in general, from another manufacturer, which is almost always in demand.
Small, but, in principle, significant differences can be considered more durable, reinforced bottom of the frame pools of the company bestway, in contrast to single-layer analogues intex. But, the intex covering film is more durable, rubberized, and at bestway it looks like a plastic burlap and easily spreads and breaks during operation.
Plus, answering the question: how to choose a frame pool? it is worth remembering that the simplest frame pools quickly enough, for 2-3 years of operation, dry out and practically cannot be repaired.
Therefore, the choice of the manufacturer of the frame pool manufacturer is personal preference.
It is more important to choose the right pool for specific tasks:
- for kids, safe for children
- for the whole family to go deeper and larger, and enjoy water procedures on a summer day!
