Qingdao Factory
Our Inflatable Pool Manufacturing and Inspection Process
Explore the production steps behind our drop-stitch pools — material inspection, CNC cutting, valve and panel assembly, finishing, testing and final packing. Material and test requirements are defined in the approved product specification for each B2B OEM or ODM project.
The Five Production Steps
High-density double-layer drop-stitch fabric — the same premium material used for our SUP boards — is transformed into a single-chamber, self-supporting pool through five controlled steps.
- 1
Material Preparation & CNC Cutting
High-density double-layer drop-stitch fabric — the same premium material used for our SUP boards — is fed into CNC cutting machines that precisely cut pool floors, side walls, and reinforcement patches per engineering blueprints.
- 2
Valve & Fitting Installation
Precise ports are punched in the designated wall panels, then 38 mm standard filter-pump ports, water shut-off valves, over-inflation safety valves, and drain valves are heat-sealed in place against internal air and water pressure.
- 3
Panel Assembly & Rail Bonding
The main floor and perimeter walls are joined into a single air chamber with specialized heat-welding equipment, and all edges and seams receive double or triple-layer reinforced PVC rail bands to withstand high internal pressure without deformation.
- 4
Accessory Integration & Finishing
Handles, repair-kit components, and optional covers (e.g. Oxford fabric lids) are fitted, followed by visual inspection of seams, valve seals and dimensions against the approved specification.
- 5
Pressure & Leak Testing
Completed pools are inflated to the rated operating pressure and checked against the pressure and leak-test method and acceptance criteria in the approved production specification before final deflating, cleaning, and packaging.
How Buyer Requirements Are Controlled
For OEM and ODM projects, the approved specification is the reference point for production and inspection. The applicable checks are confirmed before the order is released.
Approved Specification
Dimensions, materials, colors, branding and packing requirements are documented before production.
In-Process Checks
Seams, valves, reinforcement and key dimensions are checked at defined stages.
Test Criteria
Pressure/leak test method, hold time and acceptance criteria are agreed per product.
Final Inspection
Finished goods, accessories and carton contents are checked against the packing list.
Pressure & Safety Specifications
The manufacturing target for each approved product: rigid, leak-proof walls at a safe, repeatable working pressure with automatic over-pressure protection.
