Portable Swimming Pool FAQs
What are the different types of swimming pools?
Some of the most popular swimming pool options include inflatable pools, above-ground pools, and kiddie pools. Inflatable pools are great for casual backyard hangouts, when you want to cool off without consistent maintenance and upkeep. Above-ground pools are deeper and offer more room to move and swim; a better fit for families who spend a lot of time outdoors in the summer. And lastly, kiddie pools are perfect for your littlest swimmers-to-be, who might enjoy a cold splash on a hot afternoon.
How to maintain a portable swimming pool
Basic pool maintenance comes down to a few regular habits: skim debris off the surface, check and balance the water chemistry, and run the filter as recommended. A pool cover helps cut down on maintenance by keeping leaves and dirt out between uses. For above-ground pools, draining and storing the pool properly at the end of the season also helps extend its life.
What size pool is best for my backyard?
This depends on your outdoor space, but a 12-foot round pool is a solid starting point for most families. If you have more room, however, and plan to use it more often, a 16- or 20-foot above-ground pool may be a better option. Before buying, be sure to measure your yard and consider space around the pool for easy access.
