How to Buy a Quality Pool of the Best Type at Affordable Cost

Hello and Welcome to Bluepools

My name is Will Witt.

I manage Bluepools with my US Partner Derek Miller.

Derek Lives and Works in Las Vegas in Nevada where Bluepools will design and install about 100 luxury pools this year.You can look at our our sister site – www.bluepools.com for more information on this.

20 Years Experience

We have been designing and installing pools for over 20 years in the UK, France and the United States.

Professional Engineers

And we are both professional engineers – not ex secondhand car salesmen – like many people employed in the pool industry.

Buying Pools is a Risky Business

Buying a pool has always been a chancy business – and the risks have Now got a whole lot worse! The recession has resulted in many pool installers cutting corners to reduce costs and they are still going bust!

What can go wrong?

Here are some typical quotes that I have heard in the last couple of years:-

“The pool filtration system was undersized ….the dirty pool water made all the kids ill when it was hot last summer”
“We bought a panel pool kit that cost a lot…. We had to empty the pool this spring and one of the long walls has moved about 2 inches into the pool…. I’m worried that it is going to collapse”
“We used a one man band pool firm …….He started in March, took 8 months to build it! … and so we could not use the pool until the next year”
“The digger driver just turned up and dug the hole without any drawings ….. We ended up with a pool where the rain water from the lawn drains into it – and the algae growth in the pool is incredible whenever it rains”
“We never had any drawings of the pool…Just an Estimate …And the Roman Steps were half the size that we were promised by the salesman!”
“We did not have any contract documents … just a hand written Estimate ….when they hit ground water problems the final amount that we paid was over 2 x the Original Estimate”
“We paid him 10,000 Euros up front …..And we have now had a big hole in the garden as well as a great mountain of dirt ….for over a year ….he has just disappeared!

Cowboy Pool Builders

Many Cowboy pool builders are like the Cowboy builders that we see on TV ….. They mean well .... But pure ignorance causes them to make disastrous mistakes – and pools are a lot more difficult to build than house extensions!

The Risk is Avoidable

BUT You do not have to risk losing the pure joy, pride and pleasure that can be gained from an elegant pool in your garden because of poor project execution Bluepools can ensure that you will get that Luxury swimming pool ….on Time ….and within Your Budget

Let me tell You How You can Avoid the Risk

The 3 Essential Elements

The 3 Essential Elements that You require to get the Pool of Your Dreams for an Affordable Price are:-

1) A Robust Pool Design and Specification

The First Essential Element is to get the Design right

The Famous“Pool Studio”3D capability software

We use the Famous“Pool Studio”3D capability software to speed up the production of our innovative pool designs

We input the Survey Information and Your Pool Particulars …

The software produces the 3D Views and 2D Construction Drawings as well as a Schedule of Quantities and Components

We have designed Thousands of Pools on the West Coast of the US

We have designed and built so many pools on the West Coast of the US ….. That we really know how to provide eye-catching design solutions in the smallest backyard or garden!

So the Sky has become the Limit ......because we can create Dynamic Aerial 3D views that let you Fly over your New Pool…….or even Swim in it Underwater …..before it is even Built!!

We use this amazing software and our in-depth knowledge of pool technology to optimise the design of your swimming pool.

So You can have any Size, Type or Shape of Swimming Pool that You Want

We give Close Attention to:-

Pool Location
Pool Level
Pool Shape and Form
Hard Landscaping
The Earthworks

Please Remember That You Must have Design Drawings

A Design that You have approved is Essential – even if You just want a rectangular pool on a level site ….if you do not have Basic Drawings and a Specification before work starts on site ….…. the likelihood of getting a good job is pretty remote!!

Custom Designs for Unusual or Difficult Sites

We can also deal with particularly difficult pool sites

…in a river flood plain?
…an infinity pool on a cliff-top?
.. Or even on a very steep slope

– we can deal with them all

2) A Rugged Pool Structure

The Second Essential Element is to choose the best Pool Type

Europe Leads US in Vinyl Liner Pool Technology

In Europe Vinyl Liner pools built using the PolyBloK wall system provide the best quality pools at the most affordable price.

Vinyl Liners are made in a factory to fit the exact pool size and shape as well as any Steps

In most ways the US leads the world in swimming pool products But Europe leads the way in vinyl liner technology – it was invented here in Germany and continues to be developed here in Europe.

It is now widely used in commercial and public pools

10 Year Guarantees

Even domestic pool liners now come with a no quibble 10 year guarantee

Any Colour or Pattern that You want

The Liners are provided in a large range of printed patterns, friezes and colours that add very little to their low cost

The Liner keeps the water in and so the Pool Structure can be cheaper with low cost floors

Vinyl Liner technology keeps the water in the pool ….so that the walls only have to stand up to the earth and water loading ....And do not need to be watertight as well.

Many vinyl pool installers have no idea what is important and what is not in terms of the pool structure.

Many cling to the outdated pre-vinyl liner high strength waterproof concrete box concept…...that results in the installation of very thick highly reinforced floor slabs that are a complete waste of money.

Bluepools concentrates of Providing Cost Effective Walls

Bluepools concentrates on the pool wall design and its stability ….…We make sure that the concrete is put where it is most needed.

If the pool is on a decent founding layer of reasonably hard ground …..the pool floor can be leveled up with concrete and finished with a thin sand / cement screed.

So Your £’s or €’s should be spent on the walls and the concrete around the top of the walls………not wasted on the pool floor!

PolyBloKs are the Best Thing Since Sliced Bread!!

One of our Trade Secrets ……. Gained from French Pool Technolgy….…. is to use hollow polystyrene blocks to form the pool walls … just like Lego!

We call them PolyBloKsThe ones we use are 1m long x 250 mm wide x 300mm high… ….and they are made from very dense strong Polystyrene.

PolyBloKs look like this

polystyrene wall block

One Week to Build the Pool Walls

Using these we can dig the hole for the pool, place the wall foundation, erect the PolyBlok wall with the steel bar reinforcement….…..and fill it with concrete - in just one week!!

The Result?……….. A fast built, fully insulated pool with very strong walls, that will last a lifetime!

But wait …. That is not the whole story

Most panel pools – including all those famous and costly panel pool kits…. Are very likely to collapse when they are emptied and also be severely damaged by ice loading in the winter.

Ice loading and subsidence around the pool is an issue for PolyBloK pools and so we have developed the ARConWall pool structural system.

The ARConWall Structural System

ARConWall structural system

PolyBLoK Pool Installation Sequence

Excavate for the pool
Cast concrete wall foundation and install high yield vertical reinforcing bars
Lock polystyrene blocks into place
Fill them with high strength concrete
Insert high yield steel connection bars through polystytrene into the wet concrete
When the concrete has hardened remove outer polystyrene layer over 150 mm depth
Place filling between wall and excavation
Cast ARconWall slabs that resist Ice Loading and anchor the walls when pool has to be emptied
Cast levelling concrete on pool floor
Screed the floor of the pool
Glue underfelt to walls and install pool liner
Shows the line of weakened soil after excavation

The Polycost Estimating Software

And we have some very easy to use Estimating Software that we call PolyCost – You can download this and get the cost of a PolyBloK Pool Kit as well as the Installation Cost in a minute or two.

Bluepools will install any type of pool that You Want

While we do believe that PolyBloK pools with the ARConWall slabs provide the best Value for Money….……we would be pleased to design and procure the installation any pool type …. If that is your preference.

3) A Reliable Pool Installer

The Third Essential Element is to choose a Reliable Pool Installer at an Affordable Cost

There are two Options for the Installation of A PolyBloK Pool

The First Option is a PolyBloK pool kit

The First is to buy a PolyBloK Kit from Bluepools that includes a comprehensive, fully illustrated instruction manual.

For Maximum Economy You can DIY all or some parts of the pool …….. or use your own builder … if You know he knows his job!

Full Email and Telephone support from Bluepools

The Kit Supply comes with full Email and Telephone support from Bluepools during office hours that will help to quickly resolve any site problems.

And if you can get the pool dug before I deliver the PolyBloKs….….. I will provide on-site advice on any groundwater or soft soil issues that the dig uncovers….Such problems are normally easy to solve if you have the right advice.

FREE Installation of Complex Pool Components for Kit Buyers

And If you do decide to buy a pool kit …..……we will provide a supply and FREE installation service for any items of complex pool equipment like heat pumps, auto pool covers and chlorine dosing that you buy from us

The Second Option is the Bluepools All Inclusive Design and Installation Service

The second Option is for Bluepools to provide an all inclusive Design and Installation service ……. anywhere that you want using our very experienced Pool Installation Teams.

If you decide that a Tiled or Fibre-glass pool will better suit your requirements…. ….we can prepare the Design and then Project Manage the procurement of your pool.

Why is our Method of Installation So Economic?

Your Order would be placed with PolyBloK Limited that is a UK Company incorporated in England.

PolyBloK Limited does not have permanent offices outside the UK so does not have all the Overhead Costs associated – for instance - with the French Social Security system and other costs.

Although PolyBloK has very low overheads it does have all the insurances required under French Law or Anywhere Else that it builds a pool.

Our Fully Trained and Experienced Installation teams are either French based and operating under the French Social Security System Or are UK based and paying UK Taxes and National Insurance.

Highly Experienced Installation Teams will go to wherever your Property is located

In this way we can provide a highly Experienced Installation Team wherever your Property is located.

The combination of the highly experienced teams and the Drawings / Specifications that Bluepools issues to them … And our Quality Control systems ….Guarantees that Your Pool will be built to the Highest Standard at the most Economical Cost.

Hi Will,

Thanks for your news letter, I really do look forward to them as I now wish that I had got yourself to install my pool, people should take on board what you tell then, especially about the pitfalls and in particular picking the right quote and builder, also to remember that the cheapest is never usually the best as I have found out, I have now paid this guy 46K with all the extra’s.

I received a quote from you around February last year, but because of the distance went for an English builder who was slightly closer and a little cheaper, (Big Mistake). The starting date of 1st May passed and he eventually he got started on the 3rd of August and completed the pool on the 26th of November 16 weeks from start to finish, this might seem a long time but when you take into account he and his 2 men had all of September off and only worked a 3 day week I suppose it was not too bad, however they seemed to spend more time travelling than building a pool

Luckily because he was so slow I was able to take photos from when he started the PolyBlok 8X4X1.4 deep pool to completion, the reason I am sending this email is because of your email a few days ago in particular your video on PolyBlok pools, was I relieved that at least he had built the pool almost as you explained it, with the exception that he poured and laid the foundation and floor all in one, I know it was at least 500mm thick with steel reinforcing. My only problem is we have 80 square meters of paving all round the pool that he hasn’t laid a solid foundation for, so I am expecting problems there.

The last thing people should know and check up on is there company and VAT registration numbers, I now know that his company number is bogus and his payment requests always included the vat, I now know he has no vat number but has charged me about £3600. And the final straw was to find out yesterday that he failed to pay the local DIY or builders merchant at least 1000 Euro.

I have actually contacted the UK VAT fraud squad about this guy, and to be honest I don’t think they seem to be bothered about it, they haven’t even acknowledged my complaint.

Thanks again for your regular emails; I really do wish I had taken more heed of them, because you do give out sound advice.

Kind Regards

Tom O’Donnell 20th January 2010

Thank you to Bluepools for the lovely swimming pool you have installed for us. We are very pleased with it and this justifies our decision to choose Bluepools to do the installation for us. It has been a great success with our gite clients also, from whom we have had some very complimentary comments.

Best Regards
Kevin & Debbie MILLS

Bluepools built our pool and completely reshaped the old quarry in which it was built - we now have a magnificent facility for entertaining our family and friends

Owen Bull

Bluepools built our new pool in 2008 on a very steep hillside above our millhouse holiday home, near Angoluleme in Dept 16. It involved very deep foundations down into the underlying rock as well as suspended concrete slabs that support the sunbathing areas around the pool

Michael Brooks

I appreciated the answers to my questions and the time Luke spent at our initial meeting, going thriough the various options, with helpful suggestions and observations on our plans for our new pool at our holiday home near Tarbres. It was a relief to find a company that was prepared to offer a full construction solution including the terracing, steps and landscaping. I found the quotation very comprehensive, and useful to have an idea of the costs we might incur should ground conditions prove difficult - which they did!! Also appreciated Bluepools ability to overcome the difficulty encountered with the water table.

You were pretty accurate in terms of timescale for completing the project although there was an over run of three days because of the day or two later than advised start, the extra work involved in overcoming the water table issue, and the inclement weather towards the end of the final week.

Having been initially advised by Luke that an engineering project of this scale would undoubtedly create damage to the land surrounding the pool site, we were pleasantly surprised at how little damage had actually been caused. Overall, very happy with how everything has been handled, and would happily recommend Bluepools - especially now they're going to have a presence down that way.

Kind Regards

Andrew Lund-Yates

I would like to thank you for the way you handled the installations off the two swimming pools for me. You managed to start just after the selected time, proved to be totally reliable and finished in the time frame you had expected. The quality of the work was fine and you left everything neat and tidy after you had finished. I have good relationship with Luke and he has always been available to sort out any teething problems. I would like to wish you all the very best for the future.

Kind Regards Keith Trenter

When working on an old house there are always many unforeseen problems, and, like many other Brits, our house is old. So when it came to putting a swimming pool close to the house it was not surprising to find some complications. Bluepools proved themselves by recognising these complications and coming up with solutions.
Their ability to cope with these extras has made such a difference. Otherwise we would have been chasing around, spending time we really do not have, looking for additional artisans to do those unforeseen bits and pieces.
From the earliest stages, a test hole for the fosse septique soak-away, through to completion of the swimming pool Bluepools products and services have been good which means peace of mind for us."

Peter Butler

Hi Bluepools,

The pool has been brilliant and we have had an increase in the number of people wanting to visit as a result. But that is something we can put up with!

Caroline Jones

Dear Bluepools

Many thanks to you, Will and the lads for a terrific job, Amanda and I are really pleased with the result.

Tom Dodds

Hi Bluepools

I am at les Pesquies for a few days. We have a beautiful looking pool that several people have commented upon with admiration and expressed interest in having one themselves and knowing how we got it built. I have been happy to respond with two positive references for prospective clients.
