Artificial reservoirs in the yard successfully replace a pond or a river. However, the arrangement of such a place of rest is laborious and expensive. It is easier to install a pool during the summer season. Manufacturers offer a huge selection of inflatable, frame, collapsible and other hot tubs. Recently, Intex pools, which are characterized by mobility, ease of assembly, and attractive design, have been in great demand.
Intex and its range

- two numbers are displayed on Intex round bowls – diameter and height.
According to the specified dimensions, the buyer is guided by whether the font will fit on the site.

Frame-type fonts

The frame of the font consists of support posts, as well as the upper edging of the side. The maximum assembly time is about 45 minutes. The frame of the Intex pool is designed to withstand the high water pressure of a full bowl and the weight of people bathing.
There are different reviews about Intex frame pools, but the font model No. 54946 evokes the most positive emotions. Users note the convenient size of the bowl – 457×122 cm and affordable price. A round-shaped font is most often chosen for the dacha. The manufacturer Intex completed the product with a filter with a paper cartridge for water purification, as well as a protective PVC lining under the bottom. A 1,22 m ladder is supplied with the bowl. The ladder is leaning and fixed to the top of the side.
For the manufacture of the bowl, a three-layer reinforced PVC material was used, produced using Super-tough technology. The bright color of the Intex bowl does not fade under the sun, is resistant to light mechanical stress, as well as abrasion.
Ultra frame models

- reinforcement of the metal frame of the font is made by using an oval pipe;
- anti-corrosion coating of steel elements is made according to a new technology by powder spraying;
- in pools of Ultra applied paints, resistant to fading;
- the manufacturer completes the Intex hot tubs with a sand filter.
Ultra Frame Pools models are preferred if the bowl is purchased for collective bathing.

- the site is cleared of stones, branches and other solid objects that can make a hole in the bottom of the bowl;

Easy set inflatable bowls
For summer fun on the water, an inflatable Intex easy set pool has been developed. The model range of hot tubs for adults is available in round and oval shapes. Rectangular inflatable bowls will not withstand high water pressure. Swimming pools are produced only in small sizes for children.
The advantage of Intex inflatable pools is affordable cost, compactness, mobility, quick installation on any flat area. The entire procedure for assembling the font will not take more than 30 minutes. The bowl has a conical shape and is made of a three-layer PVC fabric with a reinforced mesh. Only the upper bead ring is inflatable. Air is supplied by a pump. When the bowl begins to fill with water, the inflatable ring rises along with the liquid level. According to the amount of filling, you can adjust the height of the side of the Intex font, as it rises along with the ring.

Separately, it is worth considering a water purification system, without which no pool can function normally. The assembly consists of a pump and a filter. The quality of water purification depends on the filler.
A membrane cartridge with a replaceable paper filter is suitable for small fonts. The system is able to pass a small amount of water. The dirtier the liquid, the more often you will have to change the cartridge.
Sand filters are considered effective cleaners. The unit is able to filter large volumes of water for 2-3 years. After contamination, the filter filler is replaced with new sand.
