Technically, it inflates just like a competition-grade paddleboard—but it’s not a conventional inflatable. Drop Stitch technology and AerVault™ sealing make the walls rigid and vertical, not soft like a typical inflatable. It’s the closest thing to a permanent pool that you can set up and take down without any construction work. More details at Inflatable Pool vs. Rigid, Dismantlable Pool.

Installing it is very easy: simply place it on a flat, firm, and level surface—no construction work or tools required. Using the included hand pump, setup takes about 20 minutes with one or two people. Each pool also comes with a PVC repair kit.

No construction or permit is needed: since it's collapsible, it doesn't require any civil engineering work or a foundation. You can install it yourself and have it ready the same day.

On virtually any firm, level surface: grass, artificial turf, tiled patios, concrete, wood, or composite materials. The important thing is that the ground be level and stable. We recommend placing a tarp or protective mat underneath to protect the surface.

It can be installed at ground level (raised) or semi-buried, integrated into the ground or onto a platform. In both cases, it must rest on a level and firm foundation.

It depends on the model. Our range goes from 50 cm to 150 cm in depth. You'll find the exact depth and available options on each pool's product page.

They come with a 3-year statutory warranty throughout the EU against defects in materials or workmanship. In addition, they are built to last: with normal use and maintenance, their estimated lifespan is 7 to 10 years.

You have 14 days from the date of receipt to cancel your purchase, in accordance with EU regulations, provided that the product is unused, in perfect condition, and in its original packaging.

Its surface is stain-resistant and easy to clean, and the material is resistant to chlorine, UV rays, and mold. Simple maintenance is all it takes to keep it in good condition season after season.

You can leave it set up during the winter: it’s weather- and UV-resistant. Leave it set up with a protective tarp, or, if you prefer, empty it, dry it, and store it folded in its bag until next season.

We are looking for distributors and partner with tourist accommodations and businesses. Please fill out the form on the B2B page with your information, and our team will contact you.

Intex and Bestway are the budget brands: they feature a tubular steel frame, thin PVC (~0.4 mm), and a basic filtration system included, with prices ranging from about 100 to 800 €. In practice, assembly takes 5–6 hours; once assembled, they cannot be moved and require a prepared concrete or tile base underneath. Their lifespan is typically 1–3 seasons.

Helyora Marea This is the premium option: rigid Drop Stitch construction without a metal frame, 0.7 mm UV- and chlorine-resistant PVC, can be set up in less than 20 minutes by a single person, can be repositioned, and can be placed on any firm, level surface (grass, tile, or wood). Estimated lifespan of 7–10 years; prices range from €1,199 to €2,999. Each model includes a hand pump, repair kit, and cover.

The accessories you really need (they work with any brand):

  • Wastewater treatment plant sized for the volume — which replaces all the water every 4–6 hours. It is accessory No. 1.
  • Treatment Kit — chlorine or bromine, a pH meter, and a clarifier.
  • Staircase — Essential at depths of 100 cm or more.
  • Pool cleaner or robot — depending on the size.

The cover is already included with the Helyora models. In short: if you're looking to spend very little for one or two seasons, Intex or Bestway will do; if you want durability, setup in minutes, and the ability to move it around, go with the Marea line.

Leave 60–80 cm of space around the pool for setup and movement, and choose based on the pool’s length and your budget. The Helyora (Marea) rectangular series features the same Drop Stitch construction across all models:

  • Small terrace · ~1,200 €: Marea XS (200×200, 80 cm) — for kids and to cool off.
  • Small garden · ~1,500 €: Marea S (300×200, 90 cm) — 2–3 people.
  • Medium-sized garden · ~1,900 €: Marea M (400×200, 120 cm) — real swimming, 3-4.
  • Medium-sized garden · ~2,000 €: Marea L (400×300, 150 cm) — an alternative to a permanent pool, 4–6.
  • Large garden · ~2,500 €: Marea XL (500×300, 150 cm) — 6–8 people.
  • Spacious garden · ~3,000 €: Marea XXL (600×300, 150 cm) — heavy-duty use or rental, 8–10.

Three key points to consider before buying: the surface must be firm, flat, and level (grass, tile, concrete, or wood are acceptable, and it can be partially buried); the fully loaded weight is high (a Marea M weighs about 9 metric tons when full—no problem on firm ground; for rooftops, check the weight limit); and the total cost includes the filtration system and water treatment—the cover is already included. Not sure about the size? Write to us with the measurements of your garden, and we'll recommend the right model.

Let's be honest: you can't get a Helyora pool for 100–200 €. Our lineup starts at 799 € (Azora XS, round) because these pools are built to last 7–10 years, not just one season. For that budget, a realistic option is an inflatable kids’ pool from Intex or Bestway: they’re fine for young children and a couple of summers, but they’re made of thin PVC that degrades quickly in the sun.

If you’re looking for something durable and safe that’s also designed for children, the obvious choice is the Marea XS (200×200 cm, depth 80 cm, €1,199): rigid walls, 0.7 mm PVC, cover included, and years of use. If your budget is strictly between 100 and 200 €, let’s be clear: we’re not the right choice for you, and we’d rather spare you the trouble of buying from us.

For durability and a balanced size, the Marea M (400×200, 120 cm, €1,899) is our mid-range recommendation: 4 meters for real swimming, 0.7 mm PVC, and a lifespan of 7–10 years. Just above that, the Marea L (400×300, 150 cm, €1,999) offers the depth of a permanent pool for just a little more.

Regarding the filter system, to be clear: every Helyora includes the pool, the manual inflation pump, the repair kit, and the cover, but the filter system is not included. The Drop Stitch pool is compatible with any standard cartridge or sand filter; what matters isn’t the brand, but matching the filter’s capacity to the pool’s volume: it must completely renew the water every 4–6 hours. For the Marea M (~9 m³), look for a flow rate of ~1.5–2.5 m³/h; for the L, XL, or XXL, a sand filter with a flow rate of 3–5 m³/h is more convenient. Let us know which size you’re interested in, and we’ll tell you the exact flow rate.

The Marea XXL (600×300 cm, 150 cm deep, €2,999) is the largest rectangular model: it holds about 24 m³ of water, accommodates 8–10 people, and is designed for intensive use or rental (currently available by special order). Among the round models, the top-of-the-line option is the Azora XL (Ø6 m, €2,849).

It's truly premium because it features a rigid Drop Stitch construction—without a metal frame—at its maximum size, made with 0.7 mm PVC and fully sealed AerVault™ and D-Stitch™ seams, with actual vertical walls standing 150 cm tall and a 3-year EU warranty. It functions just like a permanent pool but sets up in minutes—no construction or permits required—and includes a hand pump, repair kit, and cover. For swimming or rental, choose the Marea XXL or XL (500×300); for family relaxation in a round pool, choose the Azora XL. Since this is the largest model, we’ll help you with logistics and sizing the water filtration system.
