Frequently asked questions
Everything about choosing, setting up and caring for your pool.
How long does delivery take?
Every order is delivered within 4–7 working days anywhere in South Africa. Orders paid before 12:00 on a working day are processed the same day, and you'll get tracking by email and SMS once your pool ships.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is free on orders over R3,000. Smaller orders pay a flat R150 to main centres and regional towns. A small surcharge may apply to outlying areas, and it's always shown at checkout before you pay.
How much space do I need?
Pick a flat, level spot at least 1 m bigger than the pool on every side, cleared of stones, roots and thorns, and away from overhead power lines. Never set a pool up on a slope, deck or balcony: water weighs 1 kg per litre.
How long does set-up and filling take?
Set-up takes 20–60 minutes with an electric air pump. With a standard garden hose (about 15 litres a minute), the Lagoon fills in roughly 2.5 hours and the Atlantic Grand in 10–11 hours.
Do I need a filter pump?
The Tidal, Horizon and Atlantic Grand include a cartridge filter pump. For the smaller Lagoon, Riviera and Coral Bay, use a chlorine floater or drain and refill every 3–5 days.
Can I return my pool?
Yes. You get a 7-day cooling-off period on online orders, 14-day change-of-mind returns on unused items, and a 6-month guarantee against defects under the Consumer Protection Act. Read the returns policy.
What if my pool gets a puncture?
Every pool includes a self-adhesive repair kit. Drain below the puncture, dry and clean the area, apply the patch and press firmly for a minute, then leave it 12 hours before refilling.
Are inflatable pools safe for children?
Any pool can be dangerous. Always actively supervise children, empty small pools after use, cover larger pools and remove ladders when unattended. Check your municipality's by-laws on pool safety barriers.
Water & care
How do I keep the water clean?
Keep free chlorine at 1–3 ppm and pH at 7.2–7.6. Test 2–3 times a week. Run the filter pump 6–8 hours a day on pools that include one, rinse the cartridge weekly and replace it every 2–4 weeks. Cover the pool when it isn't in use.
Why does my pool look softer in the morning?
Air contracts when it cools overnight and expands in the sun. That's normal. Top up the rings in the morning and release a little air on very hot afternoons.
Can I leave it up all year?
We recommend packing it away over winter: drain, clean, dry completely in the shade, dust lightly with talc and store indoors away from rodents.
What about water restrictions?
Check your municipality's restrictions before filling. You can also fill from a borehole, a water delivery service or rain tanks, and reuse drained water on your garden once chlorine levels have dropped.
