Renolit VOGUE VINTAGE leaking swimming pool liner installation, Almeria

This swimming pool has been beautifully renovated and repaired in just a couple of days. The structure of the pool was leaking through horizontal cracks in the structure.

This was an interesting situation for us. We first looked at the pool 3 years ago to quote the new owner for renovating the pool (he didn’t know that the pool leaked or would leak). At this time, we pointed out the horizontal cracks, where at some point the new terrace had ben built on top of the pool wall. This is a common error in renovating a terrace and pool area. For the builder it is easier to do it this way, rather than remove the old terrace and build the new one at the same height as the pool.

Our advise to the client was, whatever he chose to do, don’t tile it, because it will leak. We say this with no bias, we are busy all year round and he could have explored other options.

After finishing renovations on the house, his builders tackled the terrace and pool. They tiled the terrace and then others came and tiled the pool. The pool was filled up ready for the summer….. a few weeks later it leaked. The pool was drained, the cracks were cut out and treated, thinking that the problem was solved for the next summer. Guess what happened next? The pool leaked again a few months after being filled.

Cut to the future, the owner called us again for us to install the reinforced liner. He admitted his mistake and realised that it would have been far more economical to have done the work once and installed the reinforced Renolit pool membrane in the first place and have peace of mind that the pool structure would have been guaranteed waterproof, instead of paying to drain pool, tile the pool, drain the pool, repair cracks and drain again a third time.

The material used here is VOGUE VINTAGE, a 2mm thick reinforced membrane.

If you are planning to repair or refurbish your pool, don’t put it off. Do it whilst you are not using the pool, not 2 weeks before the visitors come!

Pool liner installation, Almeria

Installing a reinforced swimming pool liner in Mojácar, Almería, involves several key steps to ensure a durable and watertight finish, particularly given the region’s hot and dry climate. The process begins with careful preparation of the pool’s structure.

1. Preparation of the Pool Area:
The pool must be cleaned and the surface thoroughly inspected. Any debris, sharp objects, or irregularities in the pool shell need to be removed or repaired. For existing pools, this might include filling cracks or smoothing out rough areas. It’s important that the pool’s surface is level.

2. Measurement and Customization of the Liner:
A custom-fit reinforced liner is crucial for a proper installation. Accurate measurements of the pool’s dimensions (length, width, and depth) are taken. The reinforced liner is made from PVC with polyester reinforcing, designed to withstand high UV exposure, which is vital in the sun-drenched region of Almeria.

3. Installing the Liner:
The liner is heat welded onsite. The verticals are installed first, welded to the metal profile at the top of the pool wall, then the mechanically fixed to the base of the pool. Then the horizontal parts are installed. In some places contact adhesive is used to hold it in place whilst it is welded.

4. Securing and Finishing Touches:
The final step includes trimming excess liner, ensuring all edges are neatly finished, cutting in the fittings, then the pool is ready to be refilled with water.

5. Testing and Maintenance:
Regular maintenance is required to keep the liner in good condition, we provide comprehensive guidelines to ensure that the pool stays looking its best.

If you are planning on renovating your pool, the best time is when you are not using it, in winter, don’t leave it until 2 weeks before your guests arrive.

TOUCH AUTHENTIC swimming pool renovation, Moncarapacho, Algarve

This swimming pool had been leaking for many years through cracks in the structure of the pool. The owner had had a reinforced liner fitted at his previous pool, so he knew that it was the perfect choice.

In this installation, we found that some of the fittings in the pool were iron, so we took the opportunity to pass new pipes through the wall of the pool to the adjacent pump room.

The finish chosen here is the reinforced TOUCH range of liners, in the AUTHENTIC colour. Its brown and sandy colours give the water a deep turquoise colour.

Swimming Pool Refurbishment & Structural Repair, Setubal, nr. Lisbon, Portugal

This is truly a retreat to another world. The pool is nestled into the hill side and surrounded by nature. Not a noise to be heard. Truly a tranquil place.

It is a shame that sense of tranquillity is ruined because the pool leaks, causing a nightmare for the homeowner.

We swooped in to rescue the situation and restore tranquillity. We did this by installing the Renolit TOUCH AUTHENTIC reinforced membrane. This system is guaranteed not to leak and looks fantastic too.

The structure of the pool was built with insufficient reinforcing and the structure had cracked in multiple places. The water is supplied to the pool from a natural spring and the leaks got so bad that the pool could not be kept full.

An unusual pool gave our team something to really get excited about!

This guitar shaped pool has structural problems and leaks through cracks in the walls of the pool. Typically several attempts had been made to repair the cracks, but to no avail. It is almost impossible to repair a structure that has cracked. If the repair is made stronger than the original structure, the structure usually cracks somewhere else. If the repair is not stronger, then the repair just fails again. We regularly see pools where attempts at repairs have been made every year, the repair fails every year.

Renolit AlkorPlan is the perfect solution, to renovate, refurbish and waterproof a leaking swimming pool in just a couple of days, with stunning results.

Here the client has made 3 fantastic choices –

The client chose to use us for the installation, as we have an enviable reputation for quality and came to her highly recommended.
Renolit AlkorPlan was chosen, as its reinforced structure is GUARANTEED not to leak.
TOUCH SUBLIME is a fantastic choice. A finish that oozes Caribean class and sophistication.

In the clients words “the pool has been transformed from something pretty naff looking, to something that I can’t stop looking at and smiling. It’s been distracting me from my routine and work”.

If you are planning a pool renovation, or have a leak in the structure, contact us today! Refurbishments and repairs to swimming pools are best planned for the off season, when your are NOT using the pool. Don’t leave it until the last minute.

Leaking Swimming Pool Renovation, Castell del Rey, Almeria with reinforced liner

Installing a Renolit Alkorplan liner in a swimming pool in Castell del Rey, Almería, is an excellent way to enhance the pool’s durability and aesthetic appeal. It is the perfect solution for a pool like this, with multiple leaks through the structure. Renolit Alkorplan liners are known for their high quality, durability, and attractive designs.

This pool was originally built in the 1950’s, Brigette Bardoe used to stay here, whilst filming in Almeria. The pool had multiple cracks through the structure and had also been raised, causing a horizontal crack. Previous owners had tried sealing cracks with silicone and finally gave up, leaving the leaking pool empty for years.

The skimmers, jets etc had all been capped off, as all the pipes were leaking. To remedy this, new pipes were passed across the short distance from the pump house to the pool, then all the new pipes were installed inside the pool structure. New skimmers were installed. We also took the opportunity to install lights.

A platform was built in the shallow end, giving toddlers somewhere to play and improving access into the pool.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to the installation process:

### Preparation

1. **Assessment and Measurement**: Begin by assessing the pool’s condition. Measure the pool’s dimensions accurately to determine the amount of liner material needed. Ensure the pool structure is suitable.

2. **Surface Preparation**: Drain the pool completely. Clean the pool surface thoroughly, removing any debris, algae, or dirt. Repair any visible cracks or imperfections to create a smooth surface. It’s essential to ensure the surface is dry before proceeding.

### Installation of the Liner

1. **Liner Unpacking and Layout**: Unpack the Renolit Alkorplan liner carefully and lay it out in the sun for a while. This makes the material more pliable and easier to handle, especially when working in complex areas.

2. **Attaching the Liner**: The liner is heat welded together on site. It is anchored at the top of the pool wall with AkorMetal.

### Post-Installation Care

After the installation, maintain the pool as per the manufacturer’s guidelines to prolong the life of the Renolit Alkorplan liner. Regular cleaning and balanced water chemistry are important to maintaining the liner’s appearance and functionality.

### Conclusion

Installing a Renolit Alkorplan liner in a swimming pool in Castell del Rey, Almería, is a worthwhile investment. It enhances the pool’s aesthetic appeal and ensures longevity with proper installation and maintenance. Following the outlined steps ensures a smooth installation process, resulting in a beautifully finished pool ready for enjoyment.

This entire process took 5 days, as this was a large pool.

Competa, Malaga, prefabricated fibreglass swimming pool renovation

Installing a Renolit Alkorplan swimming pool liner in a prefabricated fiberglass pool amidst the serene landscape of Competa, Malaga, is a meticulous yet rewarding process that ensures a durable and aesthetically pleasing pool surface.

This fibre glass pool was starting to show its age, with discoloration and flaking.

The first step in this endeavor is meticulous preparation. The existing pool surface is inspected thoroughly to ensure it’s clean, smooth, and free from any imperfections. Any debris, old liners, or residues are removed meticulously to guarantee a flawless foundation for the new liner.

The Renolit Alkorplan liner is tailored precisely to fit the pool’s contours, leaving no room for error. Each curve, slope, and depth is accounted for to create a bespoke liner, which is welded into place onsite.

Before installation, the Renolit Alkorplan liner is cut and shaped according to the exact measurements acquired earlier. The liner, known for its durability and resistance to chemicals and UV rays, is positioned meticulously within the pool, ensuring a snug and seamless fit. Careful attention is paid to eliminate any wrinkles, air bubbles, or creases that could compromise the final finish.

A specialized welding technique, often using hot air guns, is employed to fuse the seams of the liner together. This process requires skill and precision to ensure watertight seals and a seamless appearance. The welding process reinforces the liner’s durability, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of frequent use while maintaining its integrity.

Once the liner is securely in place, the pool is slowly filled with water, allowing the liner to settle and conform perfectly to the pool’s shape. This step is crucial in ensuring a smooth, wrinkle-free finish.

The completion of the installation marks the transformation of the pool, not only enhancing its visual appeal but also ensuring a durable, low-maintenance surface. The Renolit Alkorplan liner, known for its longevity and resilience, promises years of enjoyment against the stunning backdrop of Competa, Malaga—a testament to quality craftsmanship and meticulous installation techniques.

Swimming Pool Renovation, Desert Springs, Cuevas Almanzora, Almeria

We first looked at this swimming pool in Desert Springs 3 years ago, as it was leaking through the structure. We recommended the Renolit AlkorPlan system to repair and renovate the swimming pool for a number of reasons.

The installation only takes a couple of days
Minimum mess and disruption
No remedial work to the terrace needed
The pool looks like new, with an easy to care for finish
It is the only system GUARANTEED to leave the pool structure waterproof, regardless of cracks, movement etc.

As part of the installation, all of the fittings inside the pool are swapped or adapted to be liner compatible.

If the structure of a pool is leaking, it should be repaired as soon as possible, not just because of the waste of water, but the water leaking under the structure could eventually cause more movement in the pool structure and surrounding terraces.

If your swimming pool in Almeria is loosing water through the structure, or you want to simply renovate the pool in a quick fuss free way, then contact us for a pool renovation quote.

Don’t leave the repairs to the last minute, there are only so many working weeks in a year!

For this swimming pool refurbishment / renovation project we used the RENOLIT ALKORPLAN 3000 Persia Sand reinforced swimming pool liner. The Persia Sand swimming pool lining has tones of brown, sand and blue in the print, giving a beautiful turquoise colour to the water. The membrane is both the cosmetic finish and the waterproofing. The pool liner is minimum 1.5mm thick and reinforced with polyester fibres. The pool lining material is so thick, that we bring it on rolls and weld the sheets together on-site.

We have been installing swimming pool liners in Spain for the last 20 years and started installations in Portugal over 10 years ago. We are proud to work with RENOLIT, a German multinational company and the world leaders in swimming pool membranes and waterproofing products.
