And they're not few!

We have recently been entrusted with the renovation of a swimming pool built only 5 years ago by one of our competitors in the province of Macerata.

Also in this case we have found several executive and aesthetic errors that we are going to see in detail.

 

RUST ON THE STEEL STRUCTURE ONLY 5 YEARS AFTER LAYING

This only happens when the steel used for the construction is of poor quality and does not have long guarantees that protect the customer. The result is that the structure is completely rusted and needs to be treated again.

    

 

LAYING THE "THREE LAYER" LINER

We have never seen such a thing. We are faced with an incomprehensible laying of the covering with 3 sheets coupled together.

    

 

NON-STANDARD EDGE INSTALLATION

As can be seen from the photos, the edge was laid next to the groove and not above it. This shows the metal profile around the tub when it shouldn't be visible to the naked eye. The result is somewhat unsightly.

    

 

NUMEROSE PIEGHE DEL TELO SUL BORDO E ALL’INTERNO DELLA VASCA

The photos speak for themselves. The pool liner must be tight and smooth. No creases or bulges should be seen. In this case we have several folds along the edge and inside the tub, indices of an amateurish pose.

    

 

WALL NOZZLE PLACED IN PLACE OF THE MAIN DRAIN

Here we see that a nozzle normally used for the recirculation of water along the walls of the pool has been used and positioned in place of the bottom outlet (a type of special nozzle that is placed on the bottom of the pool whose function is to help to empty the pool, if necessary, to vacuum the dirt that reaches the bottom and keep the water moving, in order to avoid sedimentation). The bottom outlet is usually larger than a side outlet and the two components are never interchangeable.

  

 

BREAKTHROUGH OF THE TECHNICAL ROOM

That indentation that can be seen on the edge of the technical room occurs only when heavy earth is placed around it, which pushes against the wall and therefore deforms the perimeter over time. If the backfilling work around the room is done with all the trappings this phenomenon would not occur.

  

 

RELY ON TRUE SPECIALISTS!

Our advice is always the same: don't try to save or find the best deal. Do not let your friend build your swimming pool under the house. Look for someone who is a true professional in the sector, who knows the facts about him and who gives you a slap-up result. Because the pool is like home: it stays forever. So play it safe and trust the real specialists!
