1.2The basics

Which tablets can I use?

Which tablet to buy to run VirtualPools, from the minimum you need to the device we recommend most.

The short advice

Use a tablet, Apple or Android, with at least 6 GB of RAM. We recommend 8 GB or more.

You do not need a lot of storage space, so there is no need to pay extra for it.

Entry choices

These are not the ones we recommend most, but you can already work with them:

  • iPad Air (5th generation)
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S9

The Samsung A series does not work with the application.

Why we recommend Apple over Android

Android does not allow an app to use human detection. That is the feature that recognises a person in front of the pool and cuts them out of the picture, so you can make a photo of your customer next to their new pool. Human detection only works on an iPad.

The best choice: iPad Pro

The iPad Pro is the most recommended device, especially if you build in an area with many slopes and hills. It can recognise the slope of a backyard, and the application takes that into account.

Tip: You do not need the newest model. A refurbished iPad Pro from 2021 or later works well. The presenter gives all demonstrations on an iPad Pro from 2022, and it runs very smoothly.
