I've been reviewing the materials that Intex provides for its above
ground pools, particularly one rated as 16 ft diameter and 42 in depth.
That would sound rather non-metric:
http://www.intexcorp.com/index.php/home/above-ground-pools/ultra-frame-pools/16-488cm-ultra-frame-round-pools/54451eb.html
However, I've been reading the detailed brochures and watching the
videos they provide on that page. So far those seem quite metric and,
indeed, metric-only! The rated water level is 3 cm above the intake
filter nozzle. The ladder is rated for 136 kg. And so forth. No
non-metric equivalents were provided with those. They do indeed expect
the user/assembler to know how large a centimeter is!
Intex Corp. is located in Long Beach CA.
