Self build swimming pools, using liner system

If you are planning to build your own swimming pool, it can be a very economical way of achieving a good looking pool, with the added guarantee that the structure is waterproof.

We are often asked to install the liner after the structure has been built, the swimming pool normally becomes more expensive this way, as work has been done that didn’t need to be, or we have to change things to suit.

We have put together a simple guide to show how the structure can be built ready for the installation, in order to save costs and speed up the pool construction process. The guide also includes the most cost effective way to install the plumbing and filtration system. This guide can be followed by the DIY home owner or a local builder.

The structure is built using concrete blocks, which are economical and quick to put together and once lined with a Renolit AlkorPlan reinforced liner, it is guaranteed to be waterproof.

We have seen many pools built from blocks and then tiled, but they nearly always leak, as hairline cracks allow the water to leak through the tiles. If a tiled pool is to be built, it needs to be built from reinforced concrete, as it is the concrete that is waterproof, not the tiles. The tiles are purely a cosmetic finish.

Renolit Ceramics ETNA pool renovation, Alozaina, Málaga

This pool was suffering from damage caused by poor pool construction. The swimming pool is built from poured reinforced concrete, with steel reinforcing. In this case, the steel is too close to the surface allowing the water to corrode it causing the rust spots.

The owner was considering retiling the pool. This would have been very costly, as the tiles would have needed to be completely stripped off, the rust spots all broken out and then a waterproof render applied over the top, to try and stop rust spots reappearing. The problem is that once the steel starts to corrode, it is impossible to tell how far this corrosion has spread.

In this case, instead of re tiling the swimming pool, the client chose to install the excellent Renolit Ceramics liner. All the advantages of a reinforced PVC liner, but with the feel of traditional tiles. No more regrouting, replacing missing tiles, or dreaded rust spots.

As part of the installation, we broke out the worst rust spots and treated these for peace of mind, however in the future the liner will keep the water away from the concrete, stopping future corrosion.

The colour of this liner is ETNA, it is a stone grey colour (from the Renolit AlkorPlan 3000 range), which gives a beautiful turquoise colour to the water. It is a superb way of creating a modern look to a traditional pool. The mosaic pattern goes well with the surroundings.

This installation took 3 days, compared to about 2 weeks to do the same with tiles, then the cements need to thoroughly dry. With the liner, the pool can be immediately refilled. There’s no waiting time, making a reinforced pool membrane the sensible choice for fast refurbishment of a tired pool.

A typical case of a poorly built pool on poorly prepared ground, causing the pool to leak through vertical cracks in the structure.

Local pool companies had diagnosed the leaks from the cracks in the structure, but their solution was to build a new pool inside the existing structure. The clients wanted another approach with guaranteed results, so they contacted us.

Building a new pool inside an existing structure is a perfectly acceptable method, but has several disadvantages in comparison to the installation of a liner.

Cost. Construction of a new pool inside the other is approximately 3 times the cost of a reinforced swimming pool membrane.
Time. We can install in approximately 2 days for a pool this size, compared to around 3 weeks for construction.
Mess. In 2 days, we can’t really make that much mess. The only noisy or messy part is when we change the fittings to be liner compatible. This normally takes about 4 hours.
Pool size. A new pool will be between 400-450mm smaller in both length and width and 200mm shallower than the original, due to the amount of concrete needed.
The liner is guaranteed by a multinational company. Who guarantees the new pool structure?

Other advantages of the swimming pool liner are that it is easier to care for than traditional pool surfaces. It is nicer to walk on, with no sharp edges compared to glass mosaic tiles.

The reinforced Renolit pool liner is reinforced with polyester fibres, remaining permanently flexible. Technical specifications state that it will tolerate 3% stretch per metre. That means a crack can open 3cm in a 1m section before causing a problem. This is a crack big enough to put your hand through!
