Bestway APX 365 rectangular frame pool - 9.56 x 4.88 x 1.32 m

The Bestway APX 365 frame pool measures 9.56 x 4.88 x 1.32 m and holds around 61,000 litres of water. At nearly ten metres long it moves into another category: this is no longer a pool for cooling off but one for swimming lengths, with room for several swimmers at once. Its 1.32 m depth makes the water genuinely buoyant for an adult, which lower family pools do not allow.

Its metal frame is treated against corrosion, and a secure locking system ties the parts together. On a pool this size it is the frame that holds the shape and contains the push of the water, which is why a locked assembly matters more than a simple push-fit one. The high-density liner resists punctures and UV, the two ordinary causes of wear on a pool that stays up all season.

The kit is delivered complete with a sand filter pump, a safety ladder, a protective cover and a ChemConnect™ dispenser. A sand filter pump suits large volumes and does away with cartridges to keep buying all summer, the recurring upkeep cost of cartridge filtration. The cover keeps leaves and insects out between swims, and the ChemConnect™ dispenser makes dosing the water treatment easier.

Assembly needs no tools. It does need flat, stable ground cleared of stones: once filled, the pool represents around 61 tonnes of water, and levelling the ground is what decides how well it holds up over time. The filter pump connects to a 220-240 V mains supply, and Bestway covers the set for 2 years.
