Cracked pool repair and renovation, Tolox, Málaga

Cracked pool repair and renovation, Tolox, Málaga.

Tolox is a small village near to Alozaina, Coin, Guaro and Monda. It is situated on the road from Coin to Ronda.

This pool had suffered structural cracking due to the poor construction initially and the ground moving. Part of the pool and had been built on an excavated area and part built on spoil.

The pool cracked both sides “breaking its back”. This caused huge water leaks. The previous owners of the house had attempted to repair the cracks, but this was not successful, as you can see from the photos, it also looked awful.

One of the other problems caused by the ground moving was that it broke the pipes from one of the skimmers and the hoover socket. In order to leave the pool as trouble free as possible, we have removed these. They were not really needed and were 2 points that the pool could leak from, as the ground at that side of the pool is moving.

Another pipe we had to repair was the pipe for the main drain. The pipe was not leaking but had been chlorine damaged. This is not common in drain pipes of swimming pools, but in this case it was because the pool had to be over-chlorinated as it was leaking and then the pool could only circulate the water using the drain, as one of the skimmer pipes was leaking. The chlorine damage had caused the pipe to become very brittle.

The pool has been lined and waterproofed using Renolit AlkorPlan 3000 Persia Blue. This will guarantee that the structure is leak free.

This pool also benefits from the installation of a salt chlorination system, to give softer, sparkling water and lower maintenance. The salt water is kinder on the skin in comparison to regular chlorine.

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!
