It cannot be said often enough: (Small) children should never splash about in a swimming pool unsupervised! The duty of supervision always lies with the responsible adult in the respective situation.

If you want to set up a swimming pool, you usually have to no authorization catch up. However, if you are only the tenant, you should check with your landlord whether installing a swimming pool is allowed. However, building codes must be followed if you plan to sunk your new pool into the ground.

Tips for buying a garden pool:

• material Swimming pools are available in a wide variety of materials. What is best for you depends heavily on what you want from your pool. Common materials are plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyurethane (PU), stainless steel and wood.
• shape Garden pools come in different shapes. These include circles, ovals, rectangles and squares. Due to the water pressure that acts heavily on the side walls, oval, square and rectangular pools tend not to be as stable as round shapes.
• care and cleaning In a pool you are constantly in contact with the pool water. This should therefore be hygienically clean and contain no dangerous germs. Therefore, the pool must be cleaned regularly.
  Tarpaulins help keep dirt out. To disinfect the pool water, mostly
  Chlorine tablets used.
• Accesories These include, for example, various foils, (sand) filter systems, hoses, pumps and tarpaulins. If your selected model does not have a boarding aid, we will arrange for you to purchase one
  Bathing ladder to the heart. Create against leaves and other coarse dirt
  Dirt net remedy. The basic rule for filter systems is that they should perform better as the volume of water increases.
• Purpose of use You should be clear in advance whether you only want the pool to cool off in summer, or whether you even want to swim in it, so the dimensions must of course be chosen accordingly.
• location and size Depending on the size of the pool, you should have enough space in your garden. Furthermore, the subsurface should be as stable and level as possible. It is also important that the floor is free of stones, branches or other sharp objects. This can damage the bottom of the pool. A plastic fabric tarpaulin is therefore recommended for additional protection of the pool floor. If you want to swim in it, a diameter of more than four meters is recommended for round specimens, and eight by four meters for rectangular variants. The water depth should be at least 1.5 meters in order to be able to swim. It should be noted that from a depth of 1.5 meters, the pool must be at least partially buried (at least 50 centimeters) in the ground.
• Assembly If you can rely on the help of many hands, you can use a model that is a little more complex to assemble. Water babies who want to try their hand at assembly on their own are advised to opt for a simpler product.
• maintenance costs In view of the high demand for water, it is hardly surprising that a pool is associated with high costs for the cool water. Additional delicacies such as
  Underwater spotlights are other power and energy guzzlers. Cleaning and maintenance should not be underestimated when it comes to costs.
• maintenance and security measures The lifespan of a swimming pool depends heavily on the model type, but in most cases it can easily be more than a decade or two – provided it is installed properly and used carefully. Parents should pay particular attention to their offspring, and pets should also be careful that dogs and cats do not damage the sensitive film on the inside, or even worse, fall victim to the water.
