EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AN IN-GROUND POLYPROPYLENE POOL
Are you thinking of installing a pool in your garden?
Do you want to make sure it's a practical and long-lasting choice? Look no further than a polypropylene pool.
One of the key benefits of a polypropylene swimming pool is its fast installation time and long service life. Unlike a fiberglass pool, it is completely UV-stable and not subject to osmosis, meaning its structure and color won't change over time. Its smooth surface is also welded using modern welding technologies, making it easy to maintain and clean.
Material:
Polypropylene is an excellent material choice for swimming pool construction due to its exceptional color fastness, resistance to UV radiation and weathering. The material is specially formulated with a stabilizing component that provides protection against the harmful effects of direct sunlight, ensuring its durability even with prolonged exposure to UV radiation.
Additionally, the polypropylene sheets used in pool construction are equipped with stabilizers that prevent degradation when exposed to chemicals, especially chlorine. These features are exclusive to polypropylene sheets manufactured specifically for the swimming pool industry.
Polypropylene pool boards are also safe for use in swimming pools as they meet the hygiene requirements set by the Decree of the Ministry of Health and the Regulation of the EU Commission for products that come into contact with water and food.
The plastic used in polypropylene pools is resistant to extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to +90°C, ensuring that the pool remains structurally stable, even with varying water temperatures. Unlike fiberglass pools, there is no need to worry about osmotic processes.
Polypropylene pool plates are available in thicknesses ranging from 5 to 12 mm, providing ample options for construction customization.
Design:
Polypropylene pools are highly customizable and can be designed according to the customer's preferences.
The flexibility of the material allows for the creation of unique and original solutions that cater to specific requirements. Unlike fiberglass, which requires expensive molds, individual polypropylene plates are thermally welded together on specialized welding lines.
Polypropylene swimming pools can be tailored to precise measurements and dimensions according to the customer's specifications. This encompasses the pool's shape, the location of features such as lights, nozzles, stairs, and benches, as well as shaft for the installation of a slatted cover.
Only larger pools that are difficult to transport or install due to terrain constraints are constructed on site at the customer's location.
Installation:
Installing a polypropylene pool is easy and quick, thanks to the low weight and flexibility of the material. The pool's lightweight structure doesn't require any special measures or soil modifications, and it can even tolerate slight movements even if built on less than ideal plots.
Features:
Polypropylene pools are available in both skimmer and overflow versions and can be customized with technical shafts, as well as other accessories based on the customer's preferences.
Moreover, the stairs in high-quality polypropylene pools have a non-slip surface to ensure safety for swimmers.
The structure of the pool is reinforced and stabilized by external vertical (ribbing) and longitudinal reinforcements, which are attached around the entire perimeter of the plastic pool. However, the pool is not self-supporting, so it is necessary to concrete the base plate and place the pool on it. Gradually filling the pool with water will help stabilize it during the concreting process.
Maintenance:
The smooth, non-porous surface of polypropylene provides excellent chemical resistance, making maintenance and cleaning a breeze. This also means that cleaning products will not damage the surface of the pool walls, keeping them free from any contamination. As a result, pool robots and disinfectants can be safely used without any risk of harm to the pool.
Recommendations:
Polypropylene swimming pools are highly durable, but their lifespan can be extended significantly by following certain guidelines.
- Chemicals - Despite its high resistance to salts and inorganic elements, only use recommended pool chemicals in the correct concentrations and avoid using excessive amounts.
- Covering - Consider using a telescopic or slatted pool cover to minimize the risk of external influences and protect the pool.
Advantages of the Diamant plastic pool:
- Beautiful and aesthetic corners achieved by bending corners under heat, not gluing or welding.
- One-piece pool body made with a special welding machine.
- Perfect reinforcement with 10 mm thick ribs every 60 cm connected by reinforcing bars.
- Additional reinforcement of the upper hem with a special 10 mm thick reinforcement.
- The Diamant plastic pool offers the unique feature of being able to produce a fully finished overflow pool directly from polypropylene boards. This makes it the ideal choice for those seeking a modern overflow pool. Stainless steel pools also offer this option, but they are in a different price range. Other materials may not offer this option at all, or require complex construction for the creation of an overflow channel.
- Exclusive premium aluminum coping ensures an aesthetic finish.
- Anti-slip tread plates on stairs with a thickness of 8 mm (20 mm for the Elite model).
- 10-year warranty provided for the Diamant pool body.
