Folkpool 'Jewel' Case Study (2005)

The existing decked area was dismantled to leave a chalk base.The Pool shell was assembled (the wall in panels, simply bolted together in the corners) and then stood on the previously laid paving slabs (2 slabs under each short wall panel and 4 under each longer wall panel), bedded on to concrete to acheive a perfect level. Some concreting along the long sides of the pool was required so water pressure would not bow the wall. Fittings were then cut into the wall, Underwater light, Skimmer, return and in this case a Swimjet unit was also fitted. The beautifully grained Toprails were fitted at this point and the liner tracking. The Pool base was levelled off using a fine granite chipping, 2 inch insulation board cut and laid over that base and foam insulation fitted to the wall ready for the liner custom made to exactly fit the pool. While the water was filling the pool the plumbing for the filtration and the Swimjet Pump was connected.

The electrician used a Swimelex Control panel to simplify the job of connecting Heater, Light and Pumps to the main supply. The old decking Timber was then reused to complete the job. From start to finish - no more than 10 working days!
