Shape
Modern frame pools can have a different shape:
round,
rectangular,
square or
non-standard(mainly a polyhedron is provided). The shape of the pool primarily affects the possibility of its placement on the site and ease of use, but practically does not affect other characteristics. In other words, you can choose a model of the desired volume, type, or with a specific list of additional features (pump, canopy, stairs), regardless of the shape. Swimming pools come in various sizes — from small children's to huge adults.
At the same time, it is worth noting a purely practical point — rectangular models with the longest possible frame are best suited for swimming, and a round pool can serve as an excellent solution for a fun family vacation — there is a place and a volume for a big company to splash.
Volume
The working volume of the pool is the amount of water that is standardly contained by the product.
Usually, the working volume is indicated based on the occupancy of the pool at 80% of the maximum capacity. With such a fullness, there will be enough water inside for normal use and at the same time it will not overflow when the next person is immersed in the pool or when waves occur.
The capacity of the pool directly depends on the volume: the larger the tank, the more people will be able to swim in it at the same time. In addition, more capacious models are often also
deeper. On the other hand, a large capacity correspondingly affects the cost and puts forward increased requirements for additional equipment: a powerful pump, a performant filter, an efficient drain system, etc. are needed. Accordingly, it does not always make sense to chase large volumes.
In addition, it is worth noting that products with the same volume can differ markedly in size and, moreover, in shape. So in fact, the volume often turns out to be a secondary parameter, and it is easier to choose a pool in terms of length-width-depth.
Dimensions
General dimensions of the pool in the unfolded position. In general, this is a fairly obvious parameter, we note only a couple of important points:
— In the largest models, the length or diameter can
exceed 6 m, in the smallest ones it does not even reach 2 m.
— Note that the frame pool is supposed to be filled with water by less than 80%. Accordingly, the maximum depth of such a structure will not exceed 80% of the total height. For example, it is customary to classify products with a height of more than 125 cm into the category of
deep frame pools — accordingly, the working depth in such models is more than 1 m (125 * 0.8 = 100 cm, that is, 1 m).
