How to equip an above-ground pool?

Published by Margaux Artigaud

The above-ground pool market has been booming for several years. Made of wood, self-supporting, or inflatable, above-ground pools can be installed in any garden with minimal work. When it comes to equipping these pools, the choice of devices is not always very wide; here's an overview of the solutions we offer.

 

Lighting above-ground pools

A few years ago, the design of above-ground pools did not allow for compatible floodlights. Since then, the technological advancements of various manufacturers have enabled all above-ground pool owners to create a luminous ambiance in their pools. In addition to floodlights for inflatable pools, we will discuss here the floodlights that are installed on the return nozzles of your above-ground pool: the Borea.

Thanks to its ingenious installation system, the floodlight illuminates the pool without blocking the return nozzle. Indeed, the screw-on body installs into the return nozzle and is secured with a part that also screws into the nozzle. This way, water continues to exit the nozzle, ensuring filtration remains just as effective and guaranteeing clean and healthy water for your above-ground pool.

The Borea is available with cool white and colored lighting. You can therefore choose to create a crystalline or colorful ambiance (controlled by a radio remote control) in your above-ground pool.

 

Heating an above-ground pool

To achieve an ideal temperature, we offer heaters specifically adapted for the small volumes of above-ground pools. Two models are available: an R3K heater, compact, which installs directly on the above-ground pool's piping, and the Izeo X3 terminal which manages both heating and the filtration pump.

To fully enjoy your above-ground pool, an efficient filtration system is essential. Good filtration guarantees clean, clear, and healthy water, perfect for swimming. Among the most recommended solutions, the Star Clear filter and the Swimmey filtration pump stand out for their performance and reliability.

1. What is the Star Clear filter? 

The Star Clear cartridge filter is specially designed for above-ground pools. It offers high-quality filtration thanks to its innovative design and effective filter cartridges.

Advantages of the Star Clear filter:

  • Filtration efficiency: The Star Clear filter cartridge captures impurities, debris, and fine particles, ensuring crystal-clear water.
  • Easy maintenance: Its design allows easy access to the cartridge, simplifying cleaning and maintenance.
  • Compactness: Its reduced size is ideal for above-ground pools, where space can be limited.

2. The Swimmey filtration pump: Performance and robustness

The Swimmey filtration pump is a perfect complement to the Star Clear filter. It ensures efficient water circulation, allowing for optimal filtration.

Advantages of the Swimmey pump:

  • High flow rate: The Swimmey pump is designed to provide a high flow rate, ensuring efficient water circulation in your pool.
  • Energy saving: Thanks to its advanced technology, this pump is energy-efficient, which helps reduce your electricity bills while maintaining clean water.
  • Quiet: The Swimmey pump operates quietly, allowing you to enjoy your pool without noise pollution.

3. Why invest in a good filtration system?

A quality filtration system is essential for:

  • Preventing the proliferation of algae and bacteria: Poorly filtered water can become a breeding ground for algae and pathogens.
  • Extending the life of your pool: A good filtration system helps prevent the accumulation of debris that can damage your pool walls.
  • Ensuring a pleasant swim: Clean and clear water is essential for the comfort of swimmers.

 

Managing water treatment and other features

Finally, in addition to floodlights and heaters, other equipment is specifically adapted for your above-ground pool, including a terminal specially designed for above-ground pools. These multi-functional terminals allow several features to be gathered in a minimum of space. They all manage the filtration pump and can power a floodlight with a maximum output of 50W (perfect for a Borea). The most comprehensive terminals also include heating or water treatment via electrolysis, or both.
