Let customers speak for us
from 85 reviewsOnce the trampoline was installed, the kids really enjoyed bouncing on it and had so much fun.
Happy Hideouts was very helpful with helping me choose the correct trampoline.
Quick delivery and very happy with the service
My kids have found this to be the best trampoline outside of some of the professional trampolines that they have been on. They love it and live on it! Doubles have become easy and they are working on bigger tricks already. Happy hideouts were really easy to order from, either great advice given. 10/10 service.
Purchased the hexagon 55 inch rebounder and the quality of the material is evident upon opening the box. The assembly was straight forward and easy for one person. Having previously purchased a spring rebounder which was not kind to my back and joints the Acon rebounder was a welcome improvement from the first bounce. The equipment is sturdy with a lovely bounce. I am enjoying the wider surface bounce area afforded by the bigger rebounder, and enjoy using it daily. Happy Hideouts service was quick and efficient. I can definitely recommend the company and especially the Acon 55 inch hexagon rebounder.
We finished installing our trampoline (everything went to plan!) - it’s perfect, our girls love it and say that it is the best bounce they have experienced on a home trampoline. Happy Hideouts were very supportive with help choosing the right trampoline and during the whole process.
We purchased the Acon X trampoline and we received a fantastic service: Happy Hideouts kindly advised what accessories were best for our planned use of the trampoline, and which were not yet required. Delivery from abroad was fast. Installation was smoothly undertaken by Happy Hideouts team. The finished trampoline is awesome - far better than our previous outdoor competition-grade trampoline, from a different supplier. Aftercare by Happy Hideouts deserves particular praise. We have no hesitation in recommending the Acon X trampoline and Happy Hideouts: 10 out of 10.
Trampoline arrived very quickly one item was lost by courier but replace by Warren the next day.
Can't fault them would say i'd by my next trampoline from these guys again but it will out last me and my kids because its so well built !
I ordered from here as the price was really good.
The re bounder was delivered promptly and it is really excellent, great build quality.
I did have a minor issue with the handlebar, but they sorted that out with no issues.
Great product, price and brilliant customer service, what more could you ask.
Service and communication was great from happy hideouts. The trampoline was straightforward to assemble, and you can see that it’s fantastic quality and heavy duty, compared with a normal garden trampoline. The kids have used indoor professional ones for the past 2 years, and they consider this to have a very similar bounce. They are on it non stop, so well worth paying the money if you want a high quality outdoor trampoline.
Communication was excellent from advice before ordering to delivery to after sales.
We paid to have them build the trampolene and that was very efficient and on time.
Overall very pleased with the company and would certainly be buying from them again.
I had wanted to upgrade our swimming pool this year (I seem to have predicted our recent heatwave!), but the larger pool that I wanted was sold out everywhere. I managed to find one at Happy Hideouts and so after a bit of digging contacted Warren on whatsapp to ask when it would be able to be delivered if I ordered it. Warren said it would only take a couple of days as it was in stock. So I took the plunge and ordered it. I got updates on the order and delivery dates, and then 2 days later it arrived, exactly as detailed on their website. We have now been using it for 2 weeks in this heatwave and it is a godsend for my 4 kids (and all their mates!). Well done Happy Hideouts, you have made some kids very happy.
Not knowing anything about pools,great help and advice,all items received in great condition and kept informed during the transit of the pool,and a help line if any problems occur,which they didn't, fully recommended them
The pool is superb for all of the family, we have upsized from small circular to this beast!! Brilliant. It is already warm enough for the less brave and the children love it.
I was after a model that is currently not available in UK. Quick whatsapp exchange and 3 days later I got a quote for importing it for me from EU. Absolutely fantastic. I was kept updated about progress and delivery was scheduled for the day that suited me best.
Would highly recommend 👌
Great installation service. Highly reccommed.
Great service from start to finish, delivery and installation. Highy reccomend.

Is a Thermotec Inverter Heat Pump Really the Smarter Choice for Pool Heating? Here’s Why It Keeps Running Costs Down.
A thermotec inverter heat pump is a smarter option because it adjusts its output to suit the pool’s heating demand rather than constantly switching on and off at full power. That means steadier water temperatures, more efficient energy use and less waste overall. For families wanting to use the pool more often without the usual spike in running costs, that’s a pretty big win.
The range also gives you flexibility when choosing the right size, which matters far more than most people expect. Whether you’re looking at a thermotec inverter 9kw heat pump for a smaller covered pool or a larger model for a bigger setup, choosing the right Thermotec heat pump size helps the unit run more efficiently and keeps heating performance nice and consistent.
What’s included with the Thermotec Inverter Edge?
- Full inverter technology for lower running costs
- Quiet operation with variable-speed fan and compressor
- Titanium heat exchanger for saltwater and chlorinated pools
- Colour LCD wired controller
- Suitable for in-ground and above-ground pools
- Model sizes from 9kW to 29kW
- Free UK delivery listed by the supplier
- 3-year warranty on all components and 5-year warranty on compressor and heat exchanger
Is the Thermotec Inverter Edge Worth It for Busy Family Pools? Here’s Why It Delivers Quiet, Reliable Performance.
The Thermotec Inverter Edge is built for dependable day-to-day use, which is exactly what most family pools need. It is designed to maintain a comfortable swimming temperature through the season while running quietly in the background, so you can enjoy the garden without a loud machine dominating the space. That quieter performance is especially handy if the pool sits close to the patio or house.
It is also built with durability in mind. The titanium heat exchanger makes it suitable for both saltwater and chlorinated pools, while the wired LCD controller gives you clear access to temperature settings and operating information. Altogether, it’s a practical, reliable option for households that want efficient heating without constant fiddling or fuss.
Is the Thermotec Heater the Right Size and Setup for Your Pool? Here’s Why Choosing the Right Model Makes All the Difference.
Choosing the right Thermotec heater comes down to pool size, because a heat pump that is too small will struggle, and one that is too large may cost more than necessary. The Edge range includes models from 9kW to 29kW, giving you a good spread of options for different pool volumes. That makes it easier to find a model that fits your setup properly and heats the water efficiently.
Installation details matter too. These units use 50mm pipe connections and are designed for outdoor installation, with electrical requirements varying by model. Smaller units may suit a standard plug arrangement where appropriate, while larger models will need hardwiring by a qualified electrician. With a solid warranty package included, the range offers extra peace of mind for anyone investing in proper long-term pool heating.
To explore all available models, view the Thermotec range and compare compact, mid-range and premium pool heat pump options. If you’re still deciding between models, our Thermotec Mini vs Neo vs Inverter Pro vs Inverter Edge comparison can help you narrow it down.
What size Thermotec Inverter Edge do I need for my pool?
If you want the quick answer, the right Thermotec Inverter Edge model depends on your pool volume, whether the pool is covered, how warm you want the water, and how much of the season you want to use it. A smaller model can work beautifully on the right pool, but if the unit is too small for the water volume, it will have to work much harder and the results may be underwhelming in a very British sort of way.
The sizing guide below is based on covered swimming pools. If your pool is uncovered, very exposed to wind, or you want stronger heating earlier and later in the season, it is usually sensible to size up rather than cut things too fine.
| Thermotec Inverter Edge Model | Boost Output | Recommended Max Pool Volume | Absolute Max Pool Volume | Recommended Season / Use |
| 9kW | Boost to 12kW | 30m³ | 45m³ | Main season to longer summer use for smaller covered pools |
| 12kW | Boost to 15kW | 40m³ | 60m³ | Main season to extended season for medium covered pools |
| 15kW | Boost to 18kW | 50m³ | 75m³ | Extended season use for medium to larger covered pools |
| 19kW | Boost to 22kW | 65m³ | 95m³ | Strong all-round performance for larger family pools |
| 20kW | Boost to 23.5kW | 75m³ | 120m³ | A stronger option for larger pools and longer-season heating |
| 25kW | Boost to 28kW | 93m³ | 116m³ | Very large pools and more demanding heating requirements |
| 29kW | Boost to 32kW | 109m³ | 136m³ | The largest option in the range for very large pool volumes and higher-demand setups |
Please note: recommended maximum volume is the sensible target for efficient everyday performance. Absolute maximum volume is more of an upper limit, and in real life a covered pool will usually perform better if you size to the recommended figure rather than the absolute one.
How to work out your pool volume
Before choosing a Thermotec Inverter Edge model, it helps to know your pool volume in cubic metres (m³). This gives you a much better starting point than simply looking at the pool and deciding it feels “fairly large”, which is not quite the scientific method we’d recommend.
| Pool shape | How to calculate volume |
| Rectangular pool | Length × Width × Average Depth = Pool volume in m³ |
| Round pool | Radius × Radius × 3.14 × Average Depth = Pool volume in m³ |
| Oval pool | Length × Width × Average Depth × 0.89 = Pool volume in m³ |
Example: if your pool is 8m long, 4m wide and has an average depth of 1.4m, the volume would be 8 × 4 × 1.4 = 44.8m³.
What affects the right size heat pump?
Pool volume is the starting point, but not the whole story. The right size also depends on whether you use a cover, how exposed the pool is to wind, the temperature you want to maintain, and whether you want mainly peak summer use or a longer swimming season. If the pool is uncovered or particularly exposed, it is usually worth stepping up a model rather than hoping optimism will do the rest.
