The pool model we installed isВ called the Ovline 3000.

When theyвЂ™re small, you can keep the water level low. Because this skimmer floats on the surface of the water, you can adjust the water level to suit the height of your children. Usually the skimmer is fixed to the side of the pool and the water level inside the pool must remain at the skimmer height for the circulation system to work properly. Another great, kid-friendly feature of this pool is its floating skimmer. At this point, the side-wall tube is nearly rock hard and can support anyone whoВ walks on it. Because air is a gas and can be compressed, the water keeps filling the sides until the air is so compressed that it wonвЂ™t let in any more water. Water immediatelyВ rushes into the side walls. Once the sides are inflated, you fill the pool with water and then you remove the discs that separate the air-filled tube from the water-filled pool. As youвЂ™ll see later, there are two holes in the inside surface of the tube that must be plugged with removable discs before you start inflating it with air. This firmness is the result of the system used to fill the pool with water. A 160-pound adult walking along the top barely depresses the surface.

This side-wall tube can functionsВ as a deck because itвЂ™s so firm. The older crowd can sit on the sides and dangle their feet in the water, or lie back and sunbathe in comfort. And, because the side-wall tube is so wide,В kids can run around it and jump into the pool from anywhere they want. There are no metal parts or sharp corners inside or out that can cause injuries. It features high-tech materials and great engineering, but the idea is about asВ simple as they come: a very, very big inner tube with a bottom attached. ItвЂ™s made by Zodiac, the well-known French manufacturer of high-end inflatable watercraft. This above-ground pool isВ a great idea, especially if you have young kids.
