Why Choose an Above-Ground Swimming Pool?

Above-ground swimming pools are a fantastic way to bring summer fun to your garden without the hefty price tag or permanent commitment of an in-ground pool. They’re affordable, portable, and relatively easy to set up, making them ideal for families, pet owners, or anyone looking to cool off during hot British summers. With a range of sizes and styles available, such as the Bestway Steel Pro™ and Fast Set™ pools, you can find a model that suits your garden space and lifestyle. Whether it’s a compact 8ft x 24inch Fast Set™ pool for the kids or a spacious 13ft Rectangular Steel Pro™ for the whole family, there’s something for everyone. Plus, many of these pools come with features like filter pumps, making maintenance a breeze.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Swimming Pool

Selecting the right swimming pool involves balancing your needs with practical considerations. First, think about the size of your garden. Smaller spaces might suit an 8ft 6inch Rectangular Steel Pro™ or an 8ft x 24inch Fast Set™, while larger gardens can accommodate a 12ft x 30inch Steel Pro™ or a 13ft Rectangular model. Next, consider who will use the pool. For families with young children, shallower pools like the 10ft x 26inch Fast Set™ are safer, while deeper options like the 12ft x 30inch Steel Pro™ are better for older kids or adults. Durability is another key factor—Steel Pro™ pools, with their corrosion-resistant steel frames and Tritech™ material, offer greater longevity compared to inflatable Fast Set™ models. Finally, check if the pool includes extras like a filter pump, as seen in models like the 12ft x 30inch Fast Set™ with Filter, to keep water clean and reduce maintenance hassle.

Steel Pro™ vs. Fast Set™: Which Is Right for You?

Bestway offers two popular types of above-ground pools: Steel Pro™ and Fast Set™. Steel Pro™ pools, such as the 10ft x 30inch or 9ft 10” Rectangular models, feature sturdy steel frames and Tritech™ material—a three-layer system of PVC and polyester mesh for extra strength. These pools are built to last, resisting wear from weather and rough play, making them ideal for families or pet owners. Fast Set™ pools, like the 10ft x 26inch or 12ft x 30inch models, are inflatable and quicker to set up, requiring no tools—just inflate the top ring and fill with water. They’re perfect for those seeking convenience or temporary setups. However, they’re less durable than Steel Pro™ models, so if longevity is a priority, opt for a Steel Pro™ set.

Pet-Friendly Pools for Furry Friends

If you have pets, a pool can be a great way to keep them cool and entertained. The Pawhut Durable Pet Swimming Pool (160x30cm) is a fantastic option for dogs, with its foldable PVC design that’s easy to set up and store. Unlike human-focused pools, this pet pool is built to withstand claws and playful splashing, making it a durable choice for pet owners. Its compact size fits well in smaller gardens, and the red and dark blue design adds a fun touch. For families with both kids and pets, a robust Steel Pro™ pool, such as the 8ft 6inch Rectangular model, can double as a pet-friendly option, as its tough Tritech™ material resists scratches and punctures.

Maintenance Tips for Your Swimming Pool

Keeping your pool in top condition ensures safe and enjoyable swimming all summer long. Many Bestway pools, like the 12ft x 30inch Steel Pro™ with Filter, come with a filter pump to keep water clean, but you’ll still need to maintain proper chemical balance. Use chlorine granules, pH balancers, and algaecide to prevent algae growth and maintain safe water. Test strips are essential for checking water quality. For easy draining, models like the 13ft Rectangular Steel Pro™ include a flow control drain valve that connects to a garden hose, preventing water from pooling in your garden. Regular cleaning with a pool skimmer and covering the pool when not in use will also extend its lifespan. For Fast Set™ pools, be cautious of punctures, and use the included repair patch for quick fixes.
