All About Easy Set Swimming Pools
April 8, 2010 – 9:27 pmIntex easy set swimming pools are a type of above ground pool. Unlike most above ground pools, it doesn’t have a metal frame and plastic liner. Its construction does make it easy to set up. Intex boasts that it is the easiest pool of its kind to set up on the market. All you have to do is lay out the pool liner, inflate the top ring, and then fill with water. All pools should be able to be set up and ready for water in under thirty minutes. The length of time is takes to fill your pool will depend on several factors including, the size of pool, the size of your hose, and the water pressure.
The pool is composed of the inflatable ring and the PVC siding. Easy set inflatable swimming pools come in a wide range of sizes. The smallest available model is 8 feet in diameter and the largest is 18 feet. The pools also vary in depth. The most shallow is 30 inches, and the deepest is 48 inches.
The water pressure will cause the sides of the pool to rise as it fills. One very important aspect to setting up an easy set swimming pool is that it needs to be on completely level ground. If not, the pool will not fill up, or stay up properly. The water level could wind up uneven, or the sides of the pool may bow. This could cause the pool to collapse, so another thing you will want to note when setting up the pool is that the ground is free of sharp objects. You’ll want to avoid anything that could puncture the floor of the pool. Additionally, make sure you don’t use anything in the pool that could cause the same damage.
The leads us to the cover. Not every size comes standard with the easy set cover. If it doesn’t you will want to search online to find a cover to fit your pool. This will keep unwanted objects out of the pool while not in use. It will also keep the water cleaner, for longer.
A swimming pool easy set isn’t like a kiddie pool that dump out after you use it. It remains filled. Because of this extended use, it is necessary to treat the water. The chemicals required to treat the water generally do not come with the purchase of the pool. Depending on the size of pool you purchase, you will receive a pool maintenance kit. This can help extend the life of your pool. When you do need to change the water in your pool there is a drain plug at the bottom. Use this to let out the water. The plug can be attached to a hose so the water isn’t let out right underneath your pool. This allows you to drain the pool without moving it, and without turning the site into a huge puddle.
So, how much will a pool like this cost? This depends greatly on the size of the pool. The smallest size can be found for under $60 and the largest will cost close to $550. Whichever you choose to purchase, it will provide you and your family will hours of easy fun.
