Glossary

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.

Wall material

The main material used in the construction of the pool. Usually, the material of the walls is indicated in this paragraph. They are usually made of various polymeric materials — for example, PVC or vinyl.

The quality, reliability and durability of the pool directly depends on the material of the walls. However, it should be borne in mind here that the same material can be presented on the market in several varieties. In addition, various additional tricks can be used in the design — for example, multilayer walls. Therefore, it is worth evaluating the quality of the pool not so much by the claimed material, but by the general price category of the product (compared to models of a similar volume and functionality).

Dimensions

Overall dimensions of the swimming pool in expanded position. In general, this parameter is quite obvious, but let's note a couple of important points:

— In the largest models, the length or diameter may exceed 6 m, while in the most miniature ones — it does not even reach 2 m.

— It's worth keeping in mind that a frame pool should not be filled with water more than 80%. Accordingly, the maximum depth of such a construction will not exceed 80% of the total height. For example, products with a height of more than 130 cm are usually classified as deep frame pools — therefore, the actual depth in such models is slightly more than 1 m (130*0.8 = 104 cm). For the younger generation, there are children's frame pools with a rim height of up to 60 cm (and water depth accordingly around 50 cm).
