Bluepools

Swimming Pool Design

Hi-Tech Pools

We provide state-of-the-art, premium quality swimming pools that are economic to build and operate by optimising advanced technologies and modern construction methods.

We work with you from Concept to Completion in order to eliminate the risks involved in pool installation.

"The Bluepools team were extraordinarily knowledgeable and honest in their advice right from the start."

Bluepools Team

Our highly qualified team is led by a professional Chartered Engineer who will ensure that your indoor swimming pool or leisure complex is custom designed to suit your precise requirements.

Many of our recent pool installation projects have involved a gym, sauna, hydrotherapy, cold plunge and cinema facilities that operate at different temperatures to the pool. We design the leisure complex layouts and environmental control systems to ensure that comfort is maximised and operating cost is minimised.

Our team will work with you at each stage of the project, from planning the details right through to the finished project.


Innovative Design

Over the years we have established a number of innovative design philosophies that ensure every pool installation we oversee incorporates the best technology available.

We exclusively use Insulated Concrete Formwork for pool construction as it is simply the most effective method to build the Pool Tank & Pool Hall Walls. These forms are made in the UK under the strict quality controls of the BBA Agrément Certificate that certifies their suitability for use in retaing walls. This provides superior quality buildings that can qualify for an NHBC guarantee and is so necessary to minimise the risk of damage caused by humidity in the pool hall. The ICF also provides a stable structure at mimium cost without very expensive steel or glulam timber frames.

Wall Construction

Domestic Leisure Complexes can include a gym, sauna, plunge pool and cinema. These will require different air quality environments and need to be provided with appropriate floorplan, insulation and integrated air handling/conditioning systems to keep running costs down and allow access to every duct, pipe and cable.

Leisure Complexes

Pool Tank Wall Liners that are economic to install, are extemely attractive are provided with a 10 year guarantee.They also allow complete renewal of the pool appearance by being easily replaceble if the colours fade unlike fibre-glass pools that need complete shell replacement.

Vinyl Liners

Including an undercroft in the pool installation will allow permanent access to the back of the pool wall. This incorporates the submerged lights, the inlets, vacuum point and skimmers/deck level pool gravity drainage system and provide space for the balance tank. It can also be used a plenum chamber to reduce the amount of ducting required. It is very difficult to understand why every Architect and Pool Designer does not provide an undercroft because the addtional cost of construction is negligible.

Pool Undercroft

Deck Level Pools are installed on most premium quality pools because of the highly attractive appearance provided by the pool water lapping over the coping stones and superior water quality to that provided by a few skimmers in a freeboard pool. We have developed several innovative but economic options for the grills and gutters.

Deck Level Pools

Automatic Water Treatment systems that are simple to use, safe to operate and provide crystal clear pool water that has the same chlorine content as tap water.

Water Treatment systems

Automatic Floating Covers to minimise heating costs and increase pool safety that are easy to clean and maintain. These covers are absolutely essential to keep pool operating costs down to reasonable levels. But, submerged covers, that are so necessary for the pool hall aesthetics, need very secure fixing to avoid failure during operation and need the specialist technical knowledge that we provide.

Automatic Floating Covers

Integrated Energy Management Systems that allow fingertip control via touch screen menus of every aspect of pool operation.The Bluepools panels are designed in-house by us so that we can incorporate the requirements of a multi-purpose indoor leisure complex including the pool, spa, plunge pool and air conditioning.

The Unique Bluepools Service

Indoor Pool Design Complexity:The design of an indoor swimming pool is extraordinairly difficult because a huge amount of complex electro-mechanical equipment has to be packed into small spaces but still be accessible for repair and maintenance. And the pool hall fabric must accommodate an agressive environment of high humidity air at about 30 degrees C. that is controlled by a complex Air Handling System needing large ducts.

Do not Waste your Money on Fees:Our project files are full of design folios sent to us by Clients that were just a waste of money because the designs were not fit for purpose. Architects and Structural Engineers can never accumulate the many years experience of the design and supervision of the installation of such facilities to be able to provide the "Fitness for Purpose" warranty that Bluepools provides.

The Bluepools Way:The Bluepools process is set up so that the Client can commission a fully bespoke design that will provide very accurate costing at a nominal fee that will cost far less than the fees charged by Architects and their Structural Engineers for a design that will probably be entirely unsuitable.

Custom Design Pools

Indoor & Outdoor

The project will commence with a site visit to develop and agree the project brief that will clearly outline your objectives. We will then provide the 1st draft of the Concept Design, that we will send to you for comment.

The very important iterative design process that follows will involve us in developing your ideas and providing options so that you can decide exactly what you want. The process can be repeated as many times as necessary to reach your approval. Once you are completely satisfied with the Concept, we will provide a quotation that will include:

  • The Detailed Design Fees (Normally around £5000 + VAT)
  • The Supply of the Pool Equipment at the Wholesalers list prices
  • Obtain builders quotes & supervise the work (including the installation of the pool tank and pipework etc.)
  • Install the liner, automatic cover and dosing systems
  • Commission the pool when complete

As our client, you will be fully briefed on the pros and cons of the many options available for modern pool facilities and avoid the large risk involved in entering into expensive Design & Build pool contracts. You can also use your own local builder so that the cost is significantly reduced.

There is a simple division of responsibility - the Builder is responsible for all the building and installation work and Bluepools is responsible for the Specification, Capacity and Fitness for Purpose of the Pool Equipment.

Bluepools has used this process on hundreds of indoor pool projects over the last 10 years. We will provide some current Client details so that you can contact them for a reference.

Custom Design Pools

Standard Pool Kits

Outdoor

We supply Pool Installation Kits based on standard pool sizes including:

  • Comprehensive Installation Manual
  • ICF Formwork to build the walls
  • Through Wall Equipment, Pipework, Pump and Filter
  • Disinfection system & Air Source Heat Pump
  • Cover, Auto disinfection & Robot Cleaner options
  • Bag Liner made to suit the pool dimensions after construction


This method is for Self-builders, Contractors and Developers that want a high quality, long life outdoor pool at an economic cost. Kits are not suitable for indoor pool construction as control of the pool hall air environment requires the custom design of the air circulation system and the building envelope.
