Features and Benefits
An all in one pack for any above ground pool lover
This above ground pool from Summer waves seems to be a perfect blend of quality and other features. It is sized as 48 inches by 16 feet, where 48 inches is the height of the pool sidewalls, and 16 feet is the diameter of this round pool.
The weight of the empty pool is about 191 pounds, and it can hold 4400 gallons of water within it. In terms of water capacity and size, about 4-6 people can easily host themselves for a pool party in the backyard. Although they say it officially that, it’s the right suit for up to 10 people.
Strong Sidewall and frame
Being two of the backbone parts of an above ground pool, the material of the sidewall and frame always catch attention. No different from this model as well.
But the good news is, the sidewall is made of durable PVC along with triple-layer EBC. On the other hand, the metal frame is made of steel and coated with a rust resistant protection. The frame tubes are oval shaped, which is another USP of this product.
Cleaning made easy with the skimmer basket
The filtration system that comes along with this model is called a skimmer plus filtration system. The underlying meaning is, it provides a full surface skimming feature for the user.
Along with that, you will get a removable skimmer basket. What the skimmer basket does is, it makes cleaning the pool very easy and doesn’t take a toll of a long time and effort.
Big and bigger- two option to choose from
The one that we have selected for this discussion is long and wide enough for up to 10 persons. But another version that this pump has is even bigger of value and fun.
This one is sized as 18 feet of diameter and 52 inches of pool height. This one comes with the same structural strength, where the water capacity is more. To be specific, the water capacity of the bigger one is 7700 gallons, which is massive. Up to 12 people can suit themselves within the pool without any hard effort.
1 inch chlorine tablets included for clean water
This is a feature that we couldn’t find in many pools in the market, and that’s the chlorine tablet that comes within the maintenance kit. Applying the chlorine tablet, you can get a clean and crystal water within which fun will be unlimited.
However, once the table that comes with the pack comes to an end of its lifespan, you have to get new ones that are 1 inch in size. Otherwise, it will overkill the function of a chlorine tablet in this pool.
