An Inground Swimming Pool
- What to Consider
Whether you have an existing in-ground swimming pool or are someone considering building one into your property, Hydro Leisure-Plus want you to be aware of all the things that you need to consider. With our considerable experience and award winning new build and renovation swimming pool work, we are very well placed to guide you through all the steps of swimming pool ownership.
In Ground Pool Construction Types
Block and Render Pool
"Block and render" is a construction method used for building swimming pools, particularly in some parts of Europe, like the UK. The process involves using concrete blocks to form the walls of the pool, which are then rendered (or plastered) to provide a smooth finish."Block and render" is a construction method used for building swimming pools, particularly in some parts of Europe, like the UK.

Stainless Steel Panel Pool
Metal panel pool construction is a method that uses steel or aluminium panels to form the walls of an inground swimming pool. This method has been popular for several decades, especially in areas where the ground conditions might be challenging for other types of pool construction.

Composite Panel Pool
Composite panel pool construction is a relatively modern method of building swimming pools. It involves using panels made from composite materials, which are known for their strength, durability, and resistance to various environmental factors. Composite panels are typically made from a blend of polymer resins, fiberglass, and other materials. These panels are designed to be lightweight, yet incredibly strong and durable. They resist corrosion, making them ideal for pool construction.
One Piece Pool
One-piece pool construction refers to the use of a single, pre-fabricated pool shell that's installed into a prepared excavation site. These pools are typically made from fiberglass, but other materials like ceramic composites can also be used.

In Ground Pool CostsUnderstanding the cost of an inground pool is crucial to making an informed decision. The price of your swimming pool can vary depending on several factors, including its size, location (indoor or outdoor), and the complexity of the installation. We recommend reaching out to our team for a chat specific to your thoughts and requirements. Contact us to discuss your project in detail.
|
Construction TimelinesThe timeline for constructing your inground pool can vary based on numerous factors. It includes not only the pool's physical construction but also the preparatory work on your property. The other key element that will affect timescales is the type of pool build you decide upon. Again Hydro Leisure-Plus can talk you through the options and get you to the best solution for you.

GroundworksWe have a dedicated groundworks team at Hydro Leisure-Plus and we have completed projects across all of the UK. If you already have a construction team in place, we are more than willing to collaborate with them to achieve the best possible result. However, engaging us early in the process ensures a smoother and more coordinated project which will reduce the overall timescale.
|
Planning PermissionUnderstanding the planning permission requirements for your inground pool is essential. While outdoor pools typically fall under 'garden projects' and often don't require planning permission, certain areas, such as listed buildings or conservation areas, may have stricter rules. Always consult your local planning authority before starting a pool project. For indoor pools it is best to seek guidance from your council.

Pool MaintenanceMaintaining a swimming pool is essential for its longevity and your safety. Conventional pools require regular disinfection, surface skimming, and filter cleansing. The extent of maintenance depends on factors like pool size, location, usage, and water type. Chemicals play a crucial role in pool maintenance, primarily chlorine, available in various forms like liquid, powder, or tablets. You can use additives such as chlorine stabilizers, algaecides, and shock treatments to maintain water balance and safety. Our specialists can assist you in determining the right chemicals based on your pool's specifications.
|
Swimming Pool SafetySafety is paramount when it comes to swimming pools. We recommend installing a fence around the pool perimeter, along with a lockable gate to prevent unsupervised access, especially for children and pets. Consider investing in a solid pool cover to reclaim the surface area when the pool is not in use.
As well as considering access to the pool area and the water, we can also talk you through non slip paving and decking areas for the pool surrounds and inbuilt safety features for the swimming pool itself. |
