On Ground Pool Knowledge Questions & Answers
Hydrosphere pool can be partially or completely buried in the
ground. As well, the round shapes can sit entirely on top of the ground
like an above ground pool and the oval pools can sit mostly above the
ground if you would prefer. Optional on all HydroSphere pools is your
choice of Autumn Sand or Cocoa Brown wall paneling and trim to match
your backyard color pallet. So no matter however much or how little of
the pool you want to be visible from the outside, it will be visually
clean, simple and fit your backyard colors.
HydroSphere pool liners have a standard flat bottom which will
provide approximately 46" of water depth. If you'd like a little taper
to the pool bottom to make it a little deeper, we can do that with
typically no additional charge. All of the liners for HydroSphere pools
are custom made to fit each pool sold, meaning a tapered pool bottom is
possible. Call or Email us for more information.

Side Wall Insulation Kits
All HydroSphere Pools have Additional Purchase Options where you can
purchase an energy efficient side wall insulation kit. If the pool is
going to be installed mostly or completely in the ground the insulation
kit is not necessary because the ground is a natural insulator. If the
pool will be mostly above ground then the insulation kit containing 2"
thick R-10 insulation panels is worth every penny.
Based upon Thermoconductivity (W/m*K) or the transfer of heat and
cold, these 2" Thick HydroSphere inulation panels rank as the best
insulators at a 0.3 W/m*K.
Compare with other materials used for paneling: Steel at 43 @/m*K and
Aluminum at 250 W/m*K and you'll see that HydroSphere pool panels are
the most energy saving panels on the market.
Doughboy and Funtastic Pools’ HydroSphere brand is a pool that will last a lifetime.
Oval HydroSphere Pool with Cocoa Brown Side Panels and Autumn Sand Trim
Strength and Integrity of a pool wall is crucial to the lifespan of
a pool. The Funtastic Pool manufactured by Only Alpha Pool Products has
invested significant time and resources to create a virtually
indestructible panel joint. Where a joint in the steel is used a
'Spert' rivet like those used in the Jaguar automobiles is used. The
joints stay together where many others fall apart. The video below
compares Only Alpha's main competitors panel joints to their 'Spert'
joints. As you'll be able to see, the panel stays intact; meaning that
as the ground shifts or freezes and thaws you DO NOT have to worry about
the pool.
