Deciding you want one of our Intex pools for the back garden is the easy part, knowing which of the Intex Pools to buy is a little bit harder.

Intex Pools come in an assortment of shapes and sizes allowing you to find the perfect choice for the area you have available, the age of the people using it and how many will be in the Intex pool at one time. The Choices are

Intex Easy Set pools

Intex Metal Frame pools

Intex Ultra Frame Pools
Intex Ellipse Pools

The cheapest of the Intex Pools and generally regarded as the easiest Intex Pool to erect is the Intex Easy Set pool. The design is an inverted bell shape which uses an inflatable ring around the top of the Easy Set Pool to bring the side walls up as the pool fills with water. The benefits of an Intex Easy Set pool are the cost, ease of filling and value for money. The main things that you need to be aware of is that the water level is always 6 inches lower than the top of the Easy Set pool and that the ground has to be very level otherwise the walls will not rise properly. If these points are not an issue and you are looking for a great value, quick to build pool for your younger kids then the Intex Easy Set Pool is for you.

The oval version of the Easy Set Pool is the Intex Ellipse Pool which uses buttresses along the side to support the elongated pool wall. This style of the Intex Pools allows very large temporary pools to be installed in your garden for the summer, with very good swimming depths. Remember to allow at least an extra 2 metres on each side of the pool for access and also for the supports. The Intex Ellipse Pools even come with an Intex Salt Chlorine Generator option. A very good addition to the Intex Pools range.

The next in the range of Intex Pools is the Intex Metal Frame Pool. This range can be further broken down to the regular Intex Metal Frame Pools and the newer Intex Ultra Frame Pools. The Intex Metal Frame Pools have white circular tubed legs and the Intex Ultra Frame Pools havel metal coloured Oval shaped legs. Both of these Intex Metal Frame pools are very high quality and are very robust. The Intex Metal Frame Pools or the Intex Ultra Frame pools are definitely what you should buy if you have older children (and I am including the adults in that too) and you need a more robust style of Intex Pool. The benefits of the Metal Frame pools or Ultra Frame Intex Pools are their strength, deeper swimming depth, as the pool water will go higher up the wall than an Easy Set Pool, and greater versatility.

My personal choice for my family is the Intex Metal Frame pool, but each family has different needs and gardens so choose the one that best suits your garden and family.

I hope this helps you in deciding which of the Intex Pools you will buy, but if you are still unsure then please call me on 0845 408 4976. I would be pleased to advise you personally.

Swimming pools come in all shapes and sizes, we have seen guitar shaped pools, heart shaped pool and now in chile they have made the world largest swimming pool which is 1 kilometer long and has a maximum depth of 35 meters, not something that would fit in my garden thats for sure.

With more and more people making the decision to have a swimming pool in their garden its no surprise to us at h2ofun that customers are demanding more than just a great swimming pool. Having a swimming pool that look great is all well and good but how much is the pool going to be used and increasingly how much is it going to cost! Even toady we hear more bad news from the bbc on energy prices with british gas making huge profits. With the cost of electric, gas and oil going up we are continually looking at ways to provide cost effective ways to heat your swimming pool. Using the Sun’s energy is an obvious start and solar heating systems such as our piwi and poolsolar swimming pool solar heating systems provide customers with an energy efficient way to heat their swimming pool. Also our Solar Sun Rings have proved a big hit with these sun rings generating far more heat than traditional solar covers. Heat Pumps are becoming massively popular and especially with the larger in ground swimming pool customer. The heat pumps have been mentioned in previous blogs and we are always on hand to provide advise on which type is suitable and the potential energy saving that can be made.

With regards to the wooden pools we have this year launched a Platinum package with include under water light, filter pump enclosure and a Heat Pump!! Where in the past heat pumps have been out of the range of some above ground swimming pool owners due to high cost of heat pumps and that the heat pumps were over spec’d for the size of pool we have this year introduced an eco range of swimming pool heat pumps.

So there are plenty of alternative ways to heat your pool without sleepless nights on how much your electricity or gas bill will be this summer, and with warm cost efficient water you will find that your pool gets used plenty during the summer even on the cooler greyer days.
