Bestway

The Bestway range in one place: above ground swimming pools, pool covers and solar blankets, Flowclear cartridge filter pumps, robotic and manual pool cleaners, saltwater chlorinators and inflatable floats.

Bestway is the brand most Australian families start with, because an above ground pool costs a fraction of an in-ground one and can be packed away. The kids' rigid pools at 183cm and 244cm suit toddlers and shallow play; the larger 262 x 157cm inflatable pools suit a family.

Three things people forget when buying. A pool needs a pump matched to its volume, and Flowclear filters are sized in gallons per hour, from 330 for a small pool to 800 for a large one. A cover pays for itself in water and chemicals over one summer, and a solar cover also warms the water by a few degrees. And a cleaner, whether a manual vacuum or a cordless robot, saves more time than anything else you buy.
