The best inflatable pools

This type of pools is more widespread among users. They are easy to use and store, lightweight, durable, and, if necessary, quite capacious. Some models are suitable not only for splashing, but also for full-fledged swimming. We offer a selection of the most successful, in our opinion, solutions in this category.

The Intex Easy Set 28130/56420 pool has received a lot of feedback from satisfied users. According to them, there is simply no better solution for seasonal use in a summer cottage. It pleases with both volumes and a very reasonable price. At the same time, the owners note that the material from which the pool is made is quite durable and it is difficult to damage it, even with some effort.

Most compact and affordable
A country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 5790 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.3

The penultimate place of our rating is the smallest (with the exception of children, of course) pool.

In addition, it costs several times less than its giant competitors. Easy Set features include.

Round shape with a diameter of 366 cm. Depth is 90 cm.

Expensive but good quality pool
Country: China
Average price: 37206 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7

The pool, which is located on the second position of our rating, did not reach its top just a little. And this is not just a beautiful verbal turnover, but a harsh, if I may say so, reality. Bestway Oval Fast Set is really only a couple of liters less, a few kilograms heavier and a little more expensive than a thousand rubles. What is special about it?

The volume of holding water is 16.6 cubic meters.
The presence of a cartridge filter for coarse water purification.

The best in terms of price / quality ratio
A country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 29433 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7

And here is the leader of our rating. Despite the apparent similarity with competitors, this model really deserves the first place. And the whole point is not only in size and quality materials, but also in the thoughtfulness of related accessories, thanks to which the model is easy to install and maintain. The features are worth mentioning.

The largest dimensions: 610x366 cm with a depth of 122 cm - even an adult can dive in this.
The presence of the most productive pump in the ranking (5678 l / h), thanks to which the filling of the pool takes quite a bit of time.
There is a ladder that makes it easy to get in and out of the pool.
Included is an awning that will protect the water from falling foliage and other debris.

The best children's inflatable pools

There is no greater happiness for children than to splash in warm water on a hot sunny day. For young users, manufacturers offer an incredible amount of products of various colors and configurations. After all, it is important for them not only the presence of water, but also the game component. In addition, pools for children should be as safe as possible. We offer a selection of the best, in our opinion, proposals in this direction.

4 Bestway Covered Hippo 52218

original design
Country: China
Average price: 1351 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.2

If the tasks of the pool do not include the entertainment of a large number of kids, then be sure to pay attention to this model. It is not only safe in all respects, but also has an interesting design in the form of a cheerful hippo. The water bowl is only 112 cm in diameter and can hold up to 40 liters of water. In this case, the depth is not more than 15 centimeters. Everything you need for a fun and safe water adventure for your little one.

The design does not provide for a canopy or awning, but thanks to an interesting design, it is possible to protect the child from the scorching sun. It is enough to turn the pool to the desired side. The soft inflatable bottom will add comfort. Among the shortcomings: small capacity, no more than two kids can splash, relatively low mobility due to weight (13.8 kg). Otherwise, the Bestway Covered Hippo pool deserves a place among the best solutions for children.

3 Intex Aquarium 58480

Best price
A country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 1594 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.4

The penultimate in the ranking, but far from the worst pool. Yes, there are no all kinds of slides and sprayers, but it costs less than two thousand rubles! The design also deserves attention - it's not just multi-colored stripes of fabric, but a rather interesting pattern, which children will also spend a lot of time looking at. The features of Intex Aquarium should be attributed.

Fully inflatable body, including the bottom - such a pool will keep its shape better, and a soft bottom will reduce the risk of injury.
Sufficient depth for older children to dive.
The smallest weight in the package is only 3.37 kg.

2 Intex Mushroom Baby 57114

The perfect solution for the little ones
A country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 830 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.6

One of the best solutions for the smallest lovers of water activities. He is truly perfect in every way. First, the minimum weight and ease of assembly. Together with the packaging, the pool weighs only 1.5 kg. It is convenient to transport and install. Moreover, parents can carry the model with them and change the location as many times as they like. Secondly, there is a canopy from the sun, the child will be protected from heat stroke, which is also important. Thirdly, the pool has a soft inflatable bottom, and its depth is only 13 cm. Even the most Small child can have a fun and safe time.

Parents will also be pleased with the cost of Intex Mushroom Baby. It is the cheapest in our selection. The only drawback, if it can be considered as such, is that the model is suitable for children up to 3-4 years old. The rest will be small and cramped (model diameter 101 cm). And also the soft bottom requires a flat surface for installation.

1 Intex Rainbow Ring Play Center 57453

Favorable price and thoughtful game moment
A country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 3170 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Finally, the first line of our rating is occupied by a rather interesting pool from the already well-known company Intex. This model is not as monstrous as we would like, but at the same time it still has a slide, albeit a small one, as well as several interesting game elements. In addition, due to the shallow depth, even 3-4-year-old children can play safely in such a pool. Finally, a price that will not become burdensome for parents. Other features worth mentioning are the following.

The hard bottom of the pool - allows you to install even on an uneven surface, and children just will not pierce.
There is a water sprinkler.
Very light packaged weight (only 7.4 kg) - easy to assemble and transport to a new location.

The best frame pools

These pools belong to the category of collapsible mobile structures. They are easy to store and don't take up much space. At the same time, they are more demanding in installation; they cannot cope with the installation of the frame model alone. This is the option that is installed at the beginning of the season and removed at the end, unlike the inflatable one, it is not so easy to carry with you, but in general it is possible. We bring to your attention the best, in our opinion, pools in the current category.

4 Intex Metal Frame 28200/56997

Large volume at a low price
A country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 5643 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.3

Those who want to buy a solid capacious pool, but at the same time save money, can appreciate the Intex Metal Frame 28200/56997. It has a round shape and a diameter of 305 cm. Given the depth of 76 centimeters, the model will be a good solution for family use in the country. The biggest plus is the price of the pool, excellent water entertainment will go to the owner for only 5-6 thousand. The design is easy to assemble, if desired and due skill can be handled alone. Despite the budget option, the kit includes a pump with a filter.

The owners claim that the material from which the base is made is very durable. The only advice is to use a pool stand to strengthen the bottom. And immediately buy a cover or awning to avoid getting excess debris. Intex Metal Frame has a maximum positive feedback and great popularity among users. He deserves a place in our ranking of the best.

3 Summer Escapes P20-1252

The deepest pool
A country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 12220 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.5

If you want to install a spacious and deep diving pool on the site, then be sure to pay attention to this model. The diameter of the round design is 3.66 meters, while the depth is as much as 132 cm. This is the largest indicator among the products of the current category. The volume is 11900 l, which is very solid and will take a lot of time to fill. But on the other hand, a company of adults can comfortably accommodate in such a pool. In addition, users note the opportunity to buy a thicket without additional accessories, which will reduce costs.

Of the minuses, the owners distinguish a thin bottom. For durable use, a site should be prepared for the installation of the structure. Otherwise, the frame model deserves a place among the best, especially given the very affordable price. If necessary, the owners can adapt the accessories of previous pools for it.

2 Bestway Steel Pro Frame 56088

The best compact pool
Country: China
Average price: 20900 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.6

Of course, Steel Pro Frame can be called compact only in relation to other frame pools from this rating. However, this model is suitable for those who have only small plot for installation. The depth, by the way, was not affected, so you can safely dive in this “baby”. What else is special about this pool?

The volume of water is smaller than that of competitors - a little less people will fit, but maintenance costs will also be lower.
The presence of an awning to protect the water from debris. Allows you to clean the water or replace it much less often.
Insufficiently productive pump that comes with the kit. When using it, it will take more than 5 hours to pump the pool.

1 Intex Metal Frame 28236/54946

Excellent material quality
A country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 21990 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7

And again, the first position, albeit with a minimal margin, is taken by a model from Intex. The main advantage of the model is quality. Yes, the price of the pool is a bit more expensive because of this, but it's worth it. Other advantages include:

The high performance of the pump included in the kit (3785 l / h) - to fill a volume of almost 17 cubic meters, even he will have to work for about 4 hours.
The presence of a bedding under the pool, which protects the bottom from cutting through, for example, by sharp stones.
Included is a ladder with which it is more convenient to use the pool.

The best hard pools

This is the strongest version of the pool. Often, such bowls are dug into the ground, thereby creating conditions for all-weather use. Since the climate in our country does not allow the latter, then winter season the structure is idle. At the same time, manufacturers use materials that are resistant to temperature changes and allow not to dismantle the pool for a period of cold weather. This model is more durable, wear-resistant, roomy and has a wide range of accessories. However, you should be prepared for the fact that the price of such pools is the highest.

4 Atlantic Pools Esprit-Big (7.3 × 1.32 m)

The largest and most expensive pool in our ranking. It has an oval shape and a prefabricated structure. This pool is perfect for recreational swimming thanks to its dimensions: 7.3 meters long and 3.7 meters wide. The depth of the bowl is 135 centimeters, which will appeal to divers. Installation of the model requires about 50 square meters of free space, so it is not suitable for everyone suburban area.

The model has an excellent complete set: a ladder, a water pump, a skimmer, a sand filter. The pool calmly withstands temperatures down to -20 during the conservation period. Of the minuses, the cost should be highlighted. But at the same time, it should be taken into account that for this money the owner will receive a model in which two people can easily compete in swimming speed. As such, we have no hesitation in listing Atlantic Pools Esprit-Big as one of the best hard pools.

Country: Czech Republic
Average price: 27900 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Most hard pools have one main drawback - they do not tolerate temperature extremes and certainly will not survive the harsh winter. The Azuro model is an exception. Thanks to the special body materials, this pool can be safely left unassembled in the winter. Here are some other benefits of the 400DL.

The possibility of digging into the ground is both more aesthetic than a prefabricated pool sticking out on the surface, and easier than digging and arranging a full-fledged reservoir.
The presence of a skimmer - a device that floats on the surface and collects debris.
Availability sand filter, which produces high-quality water purification.

1 Bestway Hydrium Splasher 56386

Good set, reasonable price
Country: China
Average price: 28816 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

This model will please the user with an impressive volume, excellent equipment and affordable price. For 28-29 thousand rubles, the owner will receive a strong bowl with a diameter of 4.6 meters and a depth of 90 centimeters. In such a pool, a company of adults can easily accommodate. Included with the bowl is a ladder, bedding, repair kit and a water pump with good performance (2006 liters per hour). But keep in mind that it will take at least 6 hours to completely fill the pool.

The design is strong and stable, the walls are made of solid sheets of steel with a thickness of 0.4 mm. It is suitable for digging in, while it does not require concreting and additional preparation of the pit. Quickly assembled and disassembled if necessary. The drain valve allows you to attach a garden hose and drain the water to any convenient place. In our opinion, the Bestway Hydrium Splasher pool is without a doubt one of the best in its category in most respects.

A private home is not only a place for sweaty work, but also an opportunity to have a great time outdoors, relax and just enjoy your leisure time. It’s good when your site has a barbecue, a vegetable garden with fresh vegetables and a gazebo for soulful evening gatherings. But nothing compares to being able to take a dip in cool water when it's 30 degrees outside. Not always in the neighborhood is a river or lake. Therefore, a home pool is a real opportunity to cool off on a hot sunny day and become the owner of your own, refreshing mini-reservoir. In today's article, we will look at what pools are, learn about their features, and, of course, try to figure out which is better: buy or build yourself?!

A country house with a swimming pool is certainly not a cheap idea. However, I will tell you a secret - you can install it even with a small budget. Let's see what pools are.

Inflatable pool

An inflatable pool for the home is an opportunity to enjoy cool water, not only for children, but also for adults. The Russian market is represented by a huge number of different models. They differ both in their volume, which varies from 3 to 30 thousand liters, and in the materials used in the production. Such pools can be equipped with an additional ladder and the simplest water filter. It can be easily moved and transported throughout the site. Assembly takes a little time, as well as dismantling. Inflatable pools are made of polyvinyl chloride. It's a pretty thick material. But it can be easily pierced and torn. They are not durable and quickly fade in the sun.

Frame pool

The frame pool for the house will require more time to install than the inflatable version. Its essence lies in a rigid frame. Small children will no longer swim here, as these models are quite deep and have a large volume. They are installed once for the whole season. Therefore, it is worth considering in advance about its location. The service life of frame pools is 5-7 years, as they also fade in the sun. The set includes a ladder, water care products and a filter element. The latter is often not able to provide good water circulation, and therefore the pool will have to be drained regularly. It will have to be dismantled for the winter. The exception is expensive models made of high-quality materials that are not afraid of frost.

Stationary pool made of polypropylene, fiberglass or other materials

A stationary pool for a house made of polypropylene or fiberglass is a rather large and expensive product that is installed on the site forever. Well, of course, until you decide to replace it. For installation, you will need a foundation pit and the allocation of a place to which a car can drive. The thickness of the walls of the pool is about 1 cm, and he himself weighs a lot. Therefore, it must be unloaded where it will be all the time. In addition, you will need a slab under it, which will not allow the earth to subside. Of the advantages of such models, I want to highlight durability, the possibility of completing with various additional devices and filters. After installation, you will only need to equip a place to relax and decorate the area adjacent to the pool. This option allows you to avoid a lot of work during construction with my own hands. The sizes of such pools and their prices are quite different. There are already finished products, but it is also possible to order the right one. In this case, you can choose the depth, shape and volume of the pool.

Concrete and stone pools

The most beautiful and most labor-intensive pools for the home are stone and concrete. With the right construction technology, they can last almost forever. In addition, there are a huge number of finishing options. From decorative stone to tiles, mosaics and granite. This type of pool is the most expensive, since, in addition to the pit, it requires many other land works and material costs. However, the result will please any owner of a private house or cottage. I will tell you more about building a pool with my own hands in one of the following articles. Don't miss it, it will be interesting.

How to choose?

Before you buy a pool for your home, you need to think carefully about whether you need it at all. If yes, then you already understand what functions it should perform. Decide whether it will be a pool for children or for all family members. You will use it all season or several times during the summer. Understanding the conditions for future use of the pool will save a significant amount of money.
Decide on a budget. The price of inflatable pools varies from 3 to 20 thousand rubles. The cost of frame pools ranges from 11 to 90 thousand rubles, depending on the volume, materials and equipment. Pools made of polypropylene start from 30 thousand rubles for a 2 cubic capacity with a height of 1.3 meters and reach up to 280 thousand rubles for a model with a capacity of 75 cubic meters, a height of 1.5 m and a diameter of 8 m. The range and prices can be found at this link https://www.moredoma.ru/ .
It is worth paying attention to the manufacturer. Despite the fact that China improves its products every year, I would not recommend buying a pool made by an eastern neighbor. European and even Russian companies have proven themselves excellently.
Find out what kind of warranty service is available, specify its duration and cases that it does not cover. Pay attention to the complete set and functionality of the filter element (if any).

Buy or build?

The question of buying or building a pool for a house on your site is rather sensitive and requires a subjective approach. The question is not only in terms of money, since construction will cost an order of magnitude higher. If you constantly live in a private house and want to enjoy cool water in your yard, then it is best to think about building. Even if it takes more than one year, the result will please you. Otherwise, there is no point in fooling your head. It would be better to just buy a frame pool, which you can easily assemble, take with you and, in extreme cases, sell.

Outcome

I hope my article today was clear and useful to you. It seems to me that together we figured out what pools are and what they are. You know the approximate prices, and it is up to you to decide whether to buy a pool or not.

If you are not yet familiar with my colleague's article on "Do-it-yourself fogging system", then you can read it on this .

Write in the comments how much you think the construction will cost big pool for home with your own hands? I would be interested to know your opinion.

What attracts rest in the country - barbecue, mushrooms, berries, badminton volleyball. But if the summer is hot, and there is no reservoir nearby, is the rest spoiled? The problem is easily solved with the help of an inflatable or frame pool. These structures are significantly cheaper than the construction of a stationary reservoir. Both inflatable and frame pools can be assembled in just half an hour. Inflatable pools are compact and easy to maintain. If there is a desire not only to take a bath, but also to swim at least a little, choose a frame structure. Such a model is much larger in size, more stable, the rigidity of the tank is provided by a metal frame.

With the advent of hot weather, many owners of summer cottages dream of installing a pool in which both adults and children will feel great. Stationary structures are quite expensive, so not everyone has the opportunity to purchase and install such a product. The solution will be inflatable pools - they are great for people who want to save their time and money.

On sale you can find a huge selection of a wide variety of pools - from the smallest to 6-meter, designed to accommodate several people at the same time. However, the choice should be approached as thoughtfully as possible. Therefore, before proceeding with the review of specific models, we decided to first give a number of key characteristics that you should pay attention to when buying an inflatable pool.

All modern models are made on the basis of a three-layer film made of polyvinyl chloride materials. Its strength is quite enough to withstand the mass of water and the weight of bathing people. Often the film is reinforced with polyester threads to increase strength. In most cases, the shape of an inflatable pool is a circle. The capacity is very different - from 25 liters to 30 tons.

Usually only one ring is inflated with air - the upper one, which encircles the structure in diameter. If the pool has a decent size, then there may be several such rings. For a small child, a pool with an inflatable bottom is chosen so that the baby does not get injured on a hard surface under the pool itself.

The height of the side of the structure is one of the most important characteristics - this factor will determine who can swim in the pool, the safety of operation, and so on. In principle, all pools according to this factor can be divided into five groups:

Up to 17 cm are intended for children under the age of one and a half years;
From 17 to 50 cm are otherwise called “paddling pools” - children up to the age of three can swim in them;
If the board height is not higher than 70 cm, then it will be suitable for a child under 7 years old;
Up to 107 cm is perfect for a person up to 12 years of age;
