As touched upon in other sections of this site, the Polypool panel pool system is very versatile indeed.

Recent applications include:
• Private pools indoor and out
• Public pools - Schools, Hospitals, Leisure Centres, Fitness/health clubs
• Hydrotherapy/physiotherapy pools
• Dog training/physiotherapy pools
• Scuba diving tanks
• Ministry of Defence Special Projects



Bedales School, Petersfield, Hampshire

This project was completed in November 2002 and included construction of a swimming pool complex incorporating a 25metre main pool and a 7metre learner pool. The project included heating, environmental control, automatic chemical dosing as well as the pool surround and health and safety requirements.

 

Naval Establishment, Gosport, Hampshire

Polypool were approached by the Ministry of
Defence to design and construct a special
project used in the training of Special Forces.

The structure is an above ground pool 8m x 8m x 3m deep, supported by a steel buttress framework, designed by Polypool Ltd. The pool was finished with steel tread-plate decking specifically designed for training purposes and heavy usage. The emphasis was on strength and durability whilst optimising the use of space.

 

 

Hydrotherapy pool, Drayton, Hampshire

This involved planning and building a conservatory building containing a 7.2m x 3.7m pool. The pool enclosure also houses a plant room complete with heating, filtration and “Heatstar” environmental control equipment.

The pool was designed solely to provide hydrotherapy to a disabled child and the pool was finished with an “Alkorplan” liner as the water temperature needs to be maintained at 34 Degrees centigrade.

 


The main advantages of using our system in semi-commercial & commercial projects are:

• Ease of installation - Accessible by any building contractor hence no requirement for a more expensive specialist pool installer

• Running costs - As the Polypool system offers full heat retention- This is of major importance in an age where energy efficiency is paramount and project budgets and specification are tightly controlled

• Lifetime guarantee - more details

• Durability - The pool shell is designed to withstand heavy bathing loads

• Low maintenance - No tile replacement, no re-grouting etc

Each project is bespoke and has many design recommendations based on the size, location and usage of the pool. Consideration has to be made with regards to the buildings if there are any, access, changing/shower facilities as well as the specialist knowledge required in order to design the plantroom. This includes flow-control, heating and any dehumidification equipment required.

The size, positioning and finish to the pool are also paramount decisions to be made and we will assist with all these considerations with every customer. Our design and planning department combined with 30 years experience in pool installations guarantees a comprehensive technical support program. Our engineers will advise you on all the facts and are all conversant with the latest technology and pool building regulations.

What do you need to do next if you require the Polypool system for one of the above applications? First you need to contact us with details of the project. Information we require would normally include:

• Recommendations on incorporating the pool in any buildings/enclosures

• Design and orientation of the building itself

• Positioning of plant room

• Heating and dehumidification calibration and calculations

Please note that only the initial consultation is offered free of charge.
We are qualified and equipped to offer a more extensive design and planning package to include liaison with the customer, architect and any building contractors.

This service also includes meetings with all parties, site visits and the preparation of a complete technical file. This contains not just drawings of the project but also specification for the flow control, filtration, heating and environmental control.
