Steel pools: the perfect combination of strength and functionality

Steel pools stand out for their structural robustness and ease of assembly. They are manufactured with galvanized or lacquered steel panels, which makes them highly resistant to oxidation, wear and tear due to sun exposure and to the chemical products used in water maintenance. Their modular system allows them to be installed without the need for construction work or heavy machinery, and many include everything necessary to start using them from day one: liner, purifier, ladder and skimmer.

In addition, they are a versatile solution that adapts to multiple spaces and needs: there are round, oval or rectangular models, with different depths and capacities, designed for both recreational and sports use.

why choose a steel pool?

• High durability: treated steel resists corrosion, impacts and extreme environmental conditions for many years.
• Simple, job-free installation: in most cases, installation can be completed in just a few hours without the need for excavation or permits.
• Versatility in sizes and shapes: there are models designed for small gardens or terraces, as well as large pools for families.
• Modern and customizable aesthetics: some models allow the choice of decorative exterior finishes, imitation wood or stone, integrating easily into the environment.
• Accessible maintenance: the use of an interior liner facilitates cleaning and reduces the risk of leaks.

how do steel pools work?

The operation of these pools is based on a circular, oval or rectangular structure formed by steel panels. These are assembled on a level base (usually compacted sand or concrete slab) and fixed with metal or plastic profiles. Once the structure is assembled, a flexible PVC liner is installed to act as a waterproof membrane. The water is filtered and recirculated through a purifier which, depending on the model, can be cartridge or sand.

Some kits also include ladders, skimmers, jet nozzles and lighting systems, providing a complete experience from the start.

Main characteristics

• Materials: galvanized steel, epoxy painted steel, powder coated steel.
• Available formats
  • Round: easy to install and compact.
  • Oval: ideal for more intensive or family use.
  • Rectangular: offer more useful swimming space.
• Installation
  • Above ground: the most common and easy to install.
  • Semi-buried: combine aesthetics and functionality.
  • Buried: require more preparation, but offer a professional finish.
• Accessories included
  • Liner (different thicknesses depending on the model).
  • Purifier (sand or cartridge).
  • Ladder, skimmer, hoses, nozzles, etc.

Buying guide: What is the best steel pool for you?

Recommendations according to the type of user

• For small spaces: round models up to 4 meters in diameter are ideal. They are easy to install, require less water and are more economical.
• For families with children: we recommend oval models with a minimum height of 1.2 m, which offer more space without compromising safety.
• For demanding users or frequent use: opt for rectangular or large-format models with a sand filter and reinforced structure.
• If you value aesthetics: choose pools with exterior finishes in imitation wood or stone, which blend in better with the environment.

Glossary of technical terms

• Galvanized steel: steel coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from oxidation.
• Liner: PVC membrane that fits inside the pool to make it watertight.
• Sand filter: filtration system that uses silica sand to clean the water, more efficient than a cartridge filter.
• Skimmer: device that collects leaves, insects and floating dirt from the water.
• Fastening profile: pieces that hold the liner in place and reinforce the structure.
