Spools

Pros and Cons

What are the benefits and what are the potential drawbacks of owning a small inground spool?

Lifetime

Limited Spaces

The most obvious benefit is the ability to have a pool where space restrictions would normally not allow for a full-sized option. For this reason, spools are a popular choice for vacation homes and areas with limited space. 

Any shape

Reduced Costs

If you‘re on a tight budget, a small pool could be the perfect way to save money without sacrificing quality. Use those extra savings to add water features, buy a pool cover, or set aside funds for maintenance.

Accessories & Features

Spools can be much more than just a small pool. Accessories & features can be added – like water features, fire bowls, slides, and more. The options are virtually endless!

Lower Maintenance

Due to their smaller size, less debris can make its way into the pool. So if you ever have to clean out leaves or any other accumulated mess, a manual vacuum and scoop net will likely suffice.
