It is also important to consider the possibilities and spaciousness of the cottage. Depending on financial capabilities, it is determined which company is best to choose and what equipment is available.
- The inflatable pool for children should be selected taking into account a safe bottom. In this matter, the issue of thickness and coherence is important. Ideally, it is better to choose a model with an inflatable bottom, this option does not require the search for a perfectly flat surface for installation.
- The beads should be as thick as possible. If necessary, you can choose a model with reinforced walls. The soft design ensures maximum safety. In some cases, the sides serve as a sunbed, which is easy to lean on and sunbathe.
- Inflatable pools for summer cottages should be equipped with a pumping unit, which will fill it with water, but the filter will purify water from debris and microorganisms. You can pour water into your little pool with your own efforts. The presence of a drain valve solves the issue of pumping water.
- Complete accessories for the large pool should be provided. To clean the pool from dust and midges, an awning is suitable. To catch garbage from the pool, you need a net. To solve the problem with the surface and not to level it, there is a special litter under the bottom.
- An inflatable pool with a slide is a more playful model and children will certainly be delighted with it, but it will cost more than the others. Pools with sides of more than 1 meter need a special ladder, which will quickly climb it.
Do not forget about the possibilities of the water supply network and the power of the pump in the well.

Frame inflatable pools are more stable and will allow children to enjoy fun and active games in the water.
Since children love everything bright and interesting, it is worth paying attention to unusual models. Surely the child will more like an inflatable pool with a slide than the usual round version.
