They are particularly suitable for people with limited space available and are easy to install and maintain.

Type

The most common type of inflatable pool is the one with thick vinyl walls with an inflatable ring mounted on top to keep the pool in shape.

It is an excellent alternative to a permanent pool on the ground, as it is usually quite large, usually 8 to 10 meters wide and 3 to 4 meters high, with the option of a filtration pump, a ladder and a cover.

Inflatable pools for children are usually much smaller and are designed for two adults and a few children.. For families with small children, even the smallest children's pools are designed for safe play under parental supervision, never forget this.

Another option is an inflatable center with inflatable toys in the paddling pool.

Size and shape

Determining the right size of your new inflatable pool is also important and depends entirely on the space available.

Inflatable pools are usually round, oval or rectangular in shape.At their largest, they can be 10 to 13 meters wide (or more) and 4 meters deep.

Children's pools are usually no more than a few meters wide. Be sure to measure your garden space to ensure the pool fits.

Material

Inflatable pools are usually made of very thick, puncture-resistant vinyl.which guarantees a perfect seal.

In the case of aboveground inflatable pools, a stronger laminated PVC should be used so that the side walls can better contain the large volumes of water.

This material is commonly used in safety pools and can extend the life of the pool.

Characteristics and accessories

One of the most popular features of inflatable pools is the water purification system, which guarantees the purity of the water..

There are also benches or inflatable seats built into the side walls of the pool, umbrellas or awnings, ladders and pool covers.

Above-ground inflatable pools usually have a convenient drain plug for filling and draining.quickly as needed. Smaller pools may not have this valve and may tip over to empty.

Safety

Even when playing in an inflatable pool, safety must be a priority..

Parents should always be with their children or less skilled swimmers and of course have a phone nearby in case of emergency.

Avoid diving, jumping or running to prevent accidents.

Baby and children pools should always be emptied and stored after use.. By taking these precautions you will avoid unwanted accidents such as drowning or suffocation.

As a pool owner I want to be very honest with you and give you a tip that I have seen first hand, when we have a gathering with a lot of family or friends, is when we let our guard down in the surveillance of the children in the pool..

Installation

One of the main advantages of inflatable pools over permanent pools is their ease of installation..

Before inflating and filling a new pool, it is a good idea to place a tarp on the ground under the pool.This will protect the vinyl liner on the bottom of the pool from sharp objects on the floor, such as stones or splinters.

The floor must also be level.

The inflatable pool must then be filled with air. Due to its size, it is advisable to purchase an air compressor to speed up the inflation process..

After inflating the pool, it is time to take care of the filling. Depending on the size, it takes between one hour and two days to fill an inflatable pool..

Consult the manufacturer's installation manual for proper installation of your pool.

Maintenance

Once the pool is installed, proper maintenance will ensure that the water remains fresh, clean and safe for swimming..

First, a pool net is needed to remove large debris.

If the pool is large enough, a pool cleaner will effectively clean the bottom of the pool, and the filtering system (if available) will do the rest..

A pool cover is also a good way to keep the water clean., ya que la protege de las hojas, el sol, los insectos y la suciedad cuando no se utiliza.

Chemical Products

To keep the water disinfected, regularly checks pH and chlorine levels with test strips.

Chlorine helps to disinfect the water, but the pH determines the acidity effect, since water that is too acidic can cause irritation.

Pool experts recommend using 1 to 3 ppm (parts per million) of chlorine, and the amount needed depends on the amount of water in the pool.

Since chlorine is a chemical product, consult the manufacturer's manual. and if in doubt, it is best to consult a professional before use.

Factors such as rain, chlorine and heavy use can change the pH level, which is measured from 0 to 14, with 0 being the most acidic and 14 being the most alkaline.

To avoid skin and eye irritation, it is important to maintain the water level between 7.2 and 7.8 (neutral range). To control the pH, a pH reducer or pH increaser should be added as required.

Inflatable Spa

After a long day at work, or in winter to warm up a bit, a hot bath (or spa) is a small pleasure. 

With a hot tub or inflatable spa, whether for relaxation or health therapy, you can enjoy the benefits of a spa without having to spend money on expensive installations..

There are many inflatable hot tubs to choose from, making the shopping process easier when looking for the perfect portable hot tub for your home.

Factors for choosing our inflatable spa

When purchasing an inflatable hot tub, there are several important factors to consider.

In the following section I describe some of the most important features to consider when buying the best inflatable hot tub.

Size

Inflatable hot tubs generally take up less space than traditional permanently installed models.But if you have limited outdoor space, it's important to consider the size of your inflatable spa when you buy it to make sure it will fit.

An important consideration for most buyers is the number of people the hot tub can accommodate.

Most of the inflatable hot tubs on the market can accommodate two to four people, while some of the larger versions can even accommodate six or seven people.

The capacity of an inflatable spa is usually measured in liters, and most of the products on the market have a capacity of 600 to 1000 liters approximately.

Manufacturers usually measure capacity when the hot tub is 80% full.

Materials

The materials used to manufacture inflatable hot tubs contribute to their durability and long service life..

Inflatable hot tubs usually have several layers of durable materials, such as vinyl and PVC, the more layers, the more durable the product.

The materials called "TriTech" or "FiberTech" have three layers and ensure that the hot tub is puncture resistant. Some models have reinforced walls to make them more durable.

Shape

Most of the inflatable spas on the market are round, but there are also square onesThese usually offer more foot space and are more suitable when placed against a wall or in the corner of a terrace or patio.

Air or water jets

Inflatable jacuzzis are equipped with two types of jets.

Air jets (or air jets) use air and provide a gentle massage. They are the main type of jets used in inflatable spas..

The water jet (or water jets) work by ejecting water only. Fewer jets are needed for a powerful massage. Los chorros de agua requieren un mantenimiento más frecuente y no deben utilizarse junto con aceites de aromaterapia o sales de baño, ya que corren el riesgo de dañar el sistema.

Suelen costar más que los air jets. Los chorros de agua son más comunes en las bañeras fijas que en las de hidromasaje.

Seats

While traditional hot tubs have built-in seats, most inflatable models do not.

They are designed to be comfortable without the need for a separate seat, however, you can purchase additional removable seats. for your inflatable spa. These seats can be moved to create the perfect seating configuration.

Pumping and filtration system

Inflatable hot tubs come with a filtration system and a pump to heat the water and feed the jets.

All inflatable hot tub models have a filtration system to keep the water clean, free of dirt and sediment.

Filters should be cleaned and replaced regularly according to the manufacturer's instructionsSome models also come with a hard water filtration system to reduce scale build-up.

The pump heats the water and drives a blower that moves air or water bubbles to create a massaging effect.

Additional features

Some models have additional features such as

• Glass support
• Removable headrest
• LED lighting dimmable
