This diagram shows the sections of the pool incorporating filtration, steps and lights together with the reinforcing bars and concrete fill. An underlay is fitted beneath the liner to provide an exceptional level of comfort. A wide choice of liners is available manufactured to the exact dimensions of the pool.
This cross-section shows that the excavation for the pool is only 15cm larger than the pool itself. The resulting minimal infill round the pool reduces settlement and because the supporting platform for the terrace is itself tied into the pool structure it cannot subside - this avoids one of the most common faults found in swimming pool installations.
A huge range of pool shapes and sizes is available with straight, angled or roman stairs either inside or outside of the pool. The picture shows a traditional roman pool of 10m x 5m. Furthermore there is a choice of depth and of floor profiles - level, sloping, level or with a diving area. In conformity with the latest security regulations there is a safety ledge of 110cm round the pool perimeter. There is wide choice of of colours for the lining which can also have a tile-effect or waterline frieze.
An integrated automatic pool cover is just one of many options. This cover floats on the water when closed and keep the pool clean and reduces heat losses at night. It is also sufficiently strong to be a useful protection from drowning accidents. The cover is actually submerged in separate compartment at the end of the pool and has its own remote-controlled motor.
