Models and sizes


An inflatable 
baby or kiddie pool provides endless splashing fun for toddlers, preschoolers and young children. Thanks to the low edge (read: child safety) you can rest easy and let your little ones play all day! The very low cost is a nice bonus!

Moreover, we also have water parks for the little ones in our range. These guarantee hours of splashing fun (unfortunately only suitable for your mini, mums & dads 😜). It can't get too crazy: from a sweet & colourful candy world to a beastly jungle, raawr! Splash down the water slide, cool off under the refreshing water sprinklers or play a game of ring toss in the water.

Discover our play centres here




Our "standard" polyester above-ground pools are perfect for families with children who are a little older. They can already swim and like to have a larger swimming area. With a metal wall, there is also a sturdy structure. Ideal if there are other children playing in the neighbourhood and you want to use a slide or some air mattresses during an afternoon of water fun.

Could it be more or are you a real swimming pool fanatic? Then go for the Ultra XTR series by Intex: luxurious, stable and durable above-ground pools in a modern, anthracite frame, including a set with all matching supplies and accessories. Thanks to the innovative design, you can easily set up your pool and the dirt is filtered much more effectively thanks to the included sand filter pump. In addition, both the inside and outside of the frame are powder-coated, making the pool resistant to rust and other weather influences.

Musthaves for a clean pool!

With these essentials, you can enjoy a refreshing swim even longer!

To measure is to know!

Use test strips to keep a close eye on the pool values (pH, chlorine & alkaline value). This way you can safely enjoy a fresh splash and the water will stay clean longer.

Tip: first adjust the pH value so the chlorine can be absorbed properly.

The filter pump: the engine of your pool!

filter pump not only cleans your pool from debris, but also ensures better circulation of the pool water so that maintenance products work better. So your pool products last longer & that is also good for your wallet!

Don't know which pump to choose? πŸ‘‡

  • A cartridge filter pump mainly stops coarse dirt & is therefore ideal for a small to medium-sized pool. This pump works with cartridges that should be replaced every 2 weeks.
  • A sand filter pump filters more precisely & is ideal for a medium to large pool. The filtration sand lasts for several seasons, and you can also use glass beads or filter balls. 

A salt water system is also highly recommended to keep your pool water clean, without the use of chemical chlorine! This filtration system works on the basis of salt electrolysis, converting pool salt into natural chlorine so that algae and bacteria are killed. So you can enjoy a clean and disinfected pool, without the use of chemical chlorine. This is the solution for those pesky red & itchy eyes and your sensitive skin! We dive deeper into it in this blog!

Meet the robots

After all that splashing & those water games, there can be a lot of dirt floating around in your pool. πŸ‚

pool robot removes sand, blades of grass & insects from the pool floor, without you having to do a thing!

Attention: always check whether your pump is powerful enough to drive the robot. Don't have a filter pump or one that is too light? Then a (rechargeable) pool cleaner is the ideal solution!

Even with a scoop net, those dirty leaves are easily picked up!

Cover sheet

Our pool covers keep your pool free of floating leaves (and other debris like insects), saving you water. The temperature of the water also drops less, which is efficient and beneficial when you use an Intex Solar mat or heat pump to heat the water in your pool.

The difference between a tarpaulin & solar cover? πŸ‘‡

  • A solar cover floats on the water and aims to warm up the pool, but also to retain this warmth for longer. A solar cover is therefore smaller than the surface area of your pool. Thanks to a solar cover, your pool is heated in an environmentally-friendly (& cheap!) way, and the pool cools down less quickly during the night hours. The cover also protects your pool from dirt, but because the cover floats on the water, leaves can still float at the edge of the pool. Want to fully protect your pool from falling leaves? Then you need a cover!
  • A cover is larger than your pool & you tighten it over the edge of the pool. It keeps the pool free from falling leaves (and other debris like insects) & allows you to enjoy clear water longer.

Heating

During cooler periods it is not easy to keep an above ground pool on temperature without a heat pump. At Hermie you can order energy saving coverssolar covers, heat mats and covers to keep your pool water warm for a longer time.

These are by the way the most environmentally friendly products and foils for (limited) solar heating.
