One of Polypool’s first outdoor pools was installed 18 years ago and has been much used over the years. Using the original specification and an 1” floor-pack, a hopper style pool measuring 7.3m x 3.7m with a deep end of 1.8m was installed with a vinyl liner and fibreglass roman bay step unit.An air to water heat-pump was installed to heat the pool but has been used very little over the years as the pool does not need heating from June – September. Although the pool was still in very good condition, the liner was starting to look a little tired so the customer decided to invest in a new liner and we were keen to see how the pool construction had performed over the years.

5 July 2010Pool and Spa Scene: Export FeaturePOLYPOOL DIVES IN TO THE EXPORT MARKETWith over 40 years of experience in swimming pool construction technology, Polypool has a clear lead in factory-built insulated pool wall and panel systems that combine the benefits of affordability, ease of installation, and effective heat conservation. And the complete kit of prefabricated panels, tracks and accessories is easy to export in ‘flat-pack’ form for swimming pool projects in continental Europe, and further afield. Manufactured in its modern factory in Hampshire, in England Polypool’s domestic and commercial swimming pools are successfully installed all over the UK and around the world. Using a specially developed and patented interlocking insulated panel system, Polypool can manufacture heat-saving wall and floor panels for swimming pools of almost any size. Unlike a one-piece shell, Polypool panels can be conveniently and cost-effectively transported on pallets, with no need for heavy lifting equipment on site. Pools can be supplied for DIY assembly projects, or customers can use a local contractor. Alternatively, Polypool is happy to supply its own experienced installation team as part of a complete package.  Polypool prides itself on providing practical support and expert advice on pool design and installation. The bespoke service offered to UK clients is also available to international customers and includes in-house CAD design, detailed drawings, and calculations for filtration and heating requirements. This specialist knowledge can be especially important for overseas projects. “Our team of designers and engineers can liaise with a customer’s chosen architect and contractor, wherever they are based,” explains Polypool’s Managing Director, Ryan Fonda. This ensures a fast, hassle-free service. For example, a tiled outdoor swimming pool for a customer in the South of France took just weeks from conception to completion. “Also, whereas wet weather can delay installation of concrete or block built pools, construction using our panel-based system can continue even in damp conditions, ” he adds.Polypool’s patented insulated wall and floor panel system retains up to 96% of heat that would otherwise be lost through the pool walls and floor using traditional construction methods. The insulated swimming pool basin achieves an impressive U-value of 0.018W/m2K, which means customers can enjoy lower running costs through energy savings, wherever they live. Polypool offers its new insulated technology with a choice of liner or tiled finish to create your perfect swimming environment. All PVC liners are manufactured to the highest specification and the exclusive finishes are overlaid onto the finest quality vinyl materials to give maximum protection against ultra-violet degradation, chemical attack, and contamination from bacteria and fungi. As an alternative to a liner, Polypool panels can be specified to be suitable for tiles. Customers can choose their own tiling or select from the extensive range of frost-proof, anti-slip tiles and edging offered by Polypool. Tiles can be personalised with a choice of tilebands and motifs. “Or customers can create their own design, or consult our design studio for inspiration,” says Ryan Fonda “That’s the beauty of Polypool - a versatile and affordable way to achieve your dream pool at home or abroad!”

15 June 2010DRAFT: POLYPOOL GOES UNDERGROUND IN LUXURY HOMESIndoor swimming pools, featuring the latest heat-retaining pool technology from Polypool, are part of underground leisure suites in a new residential development by Southacres in Surrey. The Phillamores is a collection of three luxury properties in Cobham each with their own entertainment complex in the basement that includes a 9m x 4m pool, gym and home cinema. Polypool designed and built high specification heated swimming pools for each new home, including state-of-the-art environmental controls, chlorine-free purification, and a music system that utilises the cable-free benefits of wireless technology. Polypool worked closely with Southacres to provide an exclusive swimming pool system for all three homes. Richard Forrest, Sales and Marketing Manager for Southacres, says Polypool’s insulated pool panel concept provided the perfect solution for the project and has added maximum value to the properties. He comments: “We chose Polypool’s pioneering system because it offers ease of installation, minimal running costs, and advanced heat conservation to rival any traditionally built concrete or block swimming pool.”Polypool’s thermal panel structure creates a fully insulated pool shell with a U-value (potential for heat loss) of 0.018W/m2K - well below the maximum 0.025W/m2K required under new Part L Building Regulations due to come into force in October 2010. Panels are factory fabricated to size to suit the individual pool dimensions and include high efficiency polyurethane between two facing skins. Polypool’s patented pool system retains up to 96% of heat that would normally be lost through the pool walls and floor using traditional construction methods.Polypool provided a total package for the Phillamores including a complete environmental pool system providing effective dehumidification, heat recovery and heating of air and pool water. The pools use a natural oxygen purification process that eliminates the need for cleaning chemicals such as chlorine or bromine. The environmentally friendly system keeps the water safe and clean, and the toxic-free backwash water can be recycled for washing the car or watering plants.To satisfy the development’s exacting aesthetic standards, Polypool recommended a ‘liquid’ pool cover with minimal visual impact to save energy on water heating and control humidity. The innovative system consists of a bio-degradable liquid which is lighter than water and forms a thin, transparent layer over the surface of the pool. The layer breaks apart when the water is disturbed, for example when someone enters the pool, and reforms when the water is calm for maximum heat retention. An automatic dosing system ensures the correct dose of the tasteless, odourless liquid is added to the pool to maintain its effectiveness.Polypool’s attention to detail, first class support and technical expertise ensured trouble-free installation at the Phillamores, says Richard Forrest: “Following the huge success of this project, every Southacres home will now include a Polypool system.”With over 40 years of experience in swimming pool construction technology, Polypool already has a clear lead in insulated pool wall and panel systems that combine the benefits of affordability, ease of installation, and effective heat conservation. Recent developments have given Polypool an expanded product range and better serviced network of dealers and installers. For more information please visit www.polypool.co.uk
