10 Tips for buying a removable pool

  1. Choice of material / structure. If we want a pool that can be disassembled and stored at the end of the summer commercial pool plans, we will opt for an inflatable or tubular pool (flexible plastic structure). If, on the other hand, our intention is to keep the pool in one location, the most recommended option is pools with a rigid structure, with steel sheet panels.

 

  1. Location and terrain. The ground where to install the pool must be firm, resistant, level and smooth. We will choose a sunny area near an electrical outlet (connection to the treatment plant), a water outlet (filling) and drainage (emptying), where there are no underground connections (water, gas, electricity,…) and there is no risk flooding in case of rain.

 

  1. Water filtration system. Sand treatment plants or cartridge filters? Sand treatment plants offer better performance by filtering impurities from the water, and require less maintenance. They will also allow us to connect a suction pool cleaner thanks to the additional power of the motor with which they work.

 

  1. Technical service and spare parts. It is important for the pool manufacturer to have an efficient technical service with responsiveness and availability of spare parts, factors that will allow us to enjoy our pool for much longer. Brands such as Gre (specialist in sheet steel pools) or Intex (specialist in inflatable and tubular pools) are, in this sense, a guarantee.

 

  1. Water maintenance. We will choose to treat the water with chlorine tablets (suitable for liners) using a floating dispenser, or with the installation of a salt chlorinator. This second option is more expensive to start with, but it is much safer (it avoids the handling of chemical products), comfortable (fully automatic system) and healthy (it does not irritate the skin or the eyes).

 

  1. Bury the pool. If we want to bury the pool, we must bear in mind that the manufacturers will not be held responsible for damage caused by faulty assembly, so it is advisable to go to a professional. We will also have to apply for a building permit.

 

  1. Budget. The prices of removable pools vary mainly depending on the dimensions, material, type of filtration and accessories. If we have a limited budget, it may be interesting to invest in size and material, since both the filter and the accessories can always be replaced and improved in the future.

 

  1. Winter. Once the bathing season is over, it is advisable to leave the pool filled with water, with a special chemical product for winter, covered with a pool cover and connecting the purifier between 1 and 2 hours a day.

 

  1. Pool cleaners for removable pools. If the pool has a motor with sufficient power, we can opt for a suction pool cleaner (manual or automatic). We can also purchase an electric pool cleaner compatible with removable pools, which will offer us better performance (independent of the filtration system).

 

  1. Buy online or in a physical store. Nowadays, buying removable pools online offers numerous advantages compared to doing it in a store or in a large area, without having to give up anything: better prices, a variety of offers, home delivery, specialized advice, etc.
