We designed the iPool with quality in mind over several years. Our liners have five layers of protection and are designed to meet ASTM standards for durability and strength. Our pools are pressure tested and pounded with hundreds of pounds of force continuously for days at a time.

Can I use a timer in conjunction with my iPool?

Yes you can!

However, our heated iPool I and iPool III have timer systems already included.

Can I use a heater to heat the water for my iPool?

We have provided a heater specially designed for iPool. It includes the heater, a deluxe filter pump (about 2500gal/hr), and connectors. Please refer to the Deluxe Pump and Heater Set on the Accessories page.

How long should I run the heater for?

The heater increases the temperature 1-2 degrees every hour or so, depending one the difference between the water temperature you desire. The first time you operate the heater, you need to run it for 5-10 hours to meet the temperature you require. If you utilize our available iPool insulation wrap and insulated cover then the temperature loss will be about 3 degrees per day. Simply run the heater for 3 hours per day to compensate for the heat loss.

How do I set a timer for the heater?

All you need to do is use one timer linked to the filter pump. The heater will shut off once the filter pump shuts off.

How do I link the pool, filter pump, and heater?

The pool outlet link needs to go to the filter pump inlet link. The filter pump outlet links to the heater inlet and finally the heater outlet links to the pool inlet.

What about humidity for indoor installations?

Having a body of water inside will always raise some concern for humidity. Many of our customers keep their iPools or Fitmax Therapy Pools in their basements. We advise to keep the pool covered with something like our insulated cover when not in use and to open up the windows when possible to provide air flow. This will help substantially in reducing humidity.
