Swimming Pool Container

As the professional manufacturer, Container Family would like to provide you swimming pool container. Swimming pool containers (also known as container pools) are an all-in-one-piece solution for swimming pools where a rectangular shipping container (such as the ones used for logistics on large trucks and ships) is turned into a swimming pool.

Departing from conventional swimming pool models, the container acts as a pool basin. Additional space is reserved for required pool equipment and water treatment systems and accessories, while heaters, pool pumps, sand filters and salt chlorinators are also tucked away on one side of the container.

Especially popular in the residential pool sector, swimming pool containers are also a prominent option for small wellness pools in eco-friendly spas, boutique hotels or cruise ships.

Types of shipping container swimming pools

Regardless of the type, shipping container pools are typically rectangular in shape, and usually come in standard lengths of 20 or 40 feet – although you can find alternative sizes if you have less or more space to fill. They can also be adapted, at a cost, to suit your individual preferences.

These portable alternatives to traditional pools are built above ground or in-ground, and can even be placed indoors. Regardless of your choice, they’ll require a filtration system and pump, and an adequate lining.

Advantages

Pools made from shipping containers are gaining in popularity for good reason. They have a lot of advantages over many of the other pool types. And while there’s a vast number of perks, the following are the main points to keep in mind when thinking about what you could gain from a container pool.

• Affordability

Cost is one of the most significant advantages of a container pool. One of the most interesting aspects of shopping for a container pool is just how much you can save on the total cost of the container itself. Most people go with used containers, which come with all of the savings you’d assume. You can generally expect a price range of about 1/3rd the cost of a standard pool by going with a container pool.

• Durability

Shipping containers are designed to put up with a lot of wear and tear. The contents need to be protected from snow, hail, water, and more. And that same durability holds true for container pools as well. The only caveat is that steel in the containers can rust. But zinc paint, or even a fiberglass layer, can protect against that effect.

• Easy Installation

Forget the drawn-out schedules associated with standard concrete pools. Instead of timeframes lasting through months, a container pool can typically be set up within a period of days similar to what you can expect with a fiberglass pool.

• Sustainability

Container pools are a superb complement to a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle. This is largely due to the fact that the entire pool can be seen as an exercise in recycling if you buy a used shipping container.

• Portability

Pools add a lot of value to a home. But what if you could take your pool with you when you moved? You can do exactly that with a container pool. Though of course, this is mainly for container pools that are above ground rather than inground.
