Description
Saphir Pool — Ø 3 m × 1.20 m with built-in bench
The Saphir is the compact round pool of the GIGI FRANCE range. With its 3-metre diameter and 1.20-metre depth, it fits into small gardens and patios without giving up real bathing: you immerse yourself, you relax, you swim — you do more than just cool your feet.
What sets it apart from the rest of the range: a built-in submerged bench running along part of the inner perimeter. Not an afterthought accessory, not a plastic step dropped on the floor — a seat built into the very structure, in high-pressure inflatable fabric. The same rigidity as the walls, the same behaviour under an adult’s weight. You sit in the water, it comes up to chest height, and there is nowhere you would rather be than right there, in the cool, enjoying the summer. It is a comfort that ordinary framed pools do not offer.
Set-up on a flat surface, inflation in under 30 minutes, storage in its carry bag at the end of the season. No planning permission, no building work, no property-tax impact. Just a pool that fits your space — not the other way round.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need planning permission or a declaration to the local council?
- No, in the vast majority of cases. GIGI FRANCE pools are removable structures. In France, a pool with less than 10 m² of surface area requires no works declaration — standard GIGI FRANCE models are below this threshold. They also have no impact on your property tax. Rules vary by country and local regulations: check with your local council if you have any doubt.
- What surface can the pool be installed on?
- On any flat, stable surface: lawn, slab, wooden or tiled terrace, concrete. No specific concrete slab is required. Allow a space slightly larger than the pool's dimensions so you can move around and reach the filtration.
- How long to set it up and be able to swim?
- Inflation takes under 30 minutes with the electric pump supplied. Connecting the filtration unit takes a few more minutes. Filling with water — the part that takes time — depends on your model's volume and your tap pressure: allow several hours. Plan the setup the day before to swim the next morning.
- Is the pool compatible with a heat pump?
- Yes. GIGI FRANCE pools are compatible with standard heat pumps on the market. The pump connects as a bypass on the existing filtration circuit.
- What happens in the event of a leak or technical problem?
- Every GIGI FRANCE pool comes with a complete repair kit (patches and glue) so you can deal with any small puncture yourself. The 1-year manufacturer's warranty covers manufacturing defects: replacement or refund, no argument. Our support team replies within 24 hours by email, phone or WhatsApp.
- Can you sit on the edge of the pool?
- Yes. High-pressure inflatable technology (15 PSI) makes the wall rigid enough to support the weight of a seated adult. It's one of the fundamental differences from a conventional inflatable, whose edges sag.
- What is the difference between 1.20 m and 1.50 m depth?
- At 1.20 m, children can stand on the bottom and adults can paddle and relax. It's the ideal depth for family leisure use. At 1.50 m, adults have water up to their shoulders standing — the real swimming depth, the one that lets you do laps, float on your back, feel like you're in a pool. Each model in our catalogue states its depth.
