PP pools - flexibility and durability in modern pool construction
A PP pool, i.e. a polypropylene pool, is one of the most popular solutions in private and public pool construction today. The polypropylene material is characterised by high durability, great robustness and a long service life. In contrast to concrete pools or a prefabricated pool made of GRP, the PP pool offers a particularly flexible design that can be customised to the client's wishes.
A polypropylene pool is always a modern and functional solution in the private garden, as an exclusive swimming pool in the home or as a prestigious project for hotels and communities. Thanks to the large selection of shapes, colours and sizes, an individual dream pool can be created that is both visually and technically impressive.
Advantages of a PP pool
Choosing a PP pool has numerous advantages and hardly any disadvantages. The material is extremely resistant to UV radiation, chemicals and changing temperatures. The smooth surface prevents deposits and makes cleaning easier so that the pool water remains permanently clear.
Another advantage is the price-performance ratio. A polypropylene pool is cheaper than a solid pool covered with Natural stone lined concrete pool, but still offers high quality and a long service life. This makes it an attractive alternative for anyone looking for a modern swimming pool with manageable costs.
To summarise:
- High durability and robustness
- Easy-care surface with reduced chemical consumption
- Great design freedom in terms of shape and colour
- Attractive price-performance ratio
- Fast realisation and short delivery time
Construction and technology of a polypropylene pool
The construction of a PP pool is based on the use of polypropylene, a high-quality plastic that is processed without plasticisers. The material is environmentally friendly, durable and particularly stable. When choosing a PP pool, it is important to choose a reputable manufacturer who pays attention to precise workmanship and high material quality.
The basin is manufactured in one piece. This creates a seamless surface that is hygienic and easy to clean. It is installed on a stable concrete slab, which serves as a foundation. The pool is then backfilled with lean concrete to ensure stability.
The integrated pool technology usually includes a skimmer, modern filter systems and optional extras such as a Counter-current system, a staircase or an elegant pool cover. This turns the PP pool into a versatile swimming pool that is suitable for both sporty swimming and relaxing wellness. There is also the option of a Overflow pools or Infinity pools, where the water level is slightly above the height of the pool edge.
Design and layout
One advantage of PP pools is the variety of shapes and colours that are possible with this type of pool. The choice of colours ranges from classic blue and modern grey to exclusive black or white variants. The shape can also be customised and there are standard rectangular models, round versions or organic designs for special projects.
The design freedom in the selection makes it possible to perfectly adapt the pool to the surroundings in the garden or at the house. With a matching cover, an adjoining terrace or elegant overflow technology, a harmonious overall look is created that turns the polypropylene pool into an architectural highlight. The design options are diverse thanks to the integration of accessories.
Materials and quality
At the heart of a PP pool is the material polypropylene. It is a particularly robust plastic that is processed without plasticisers and therefore guarantees a long service life. The smooth surface is pleasant to the skin, hygienic and easy to clean.
Compared to other materials, the polypropylene pool offers an ideal combination of properties such as quality, durability and flexibility. Many manufacturers give a long guarantee on their products, as the risk of damage from chemicals or UV radiation is minimised. Construction must be carried out by a specialised company such as egli jona ag to ensure correct backfilling and installation.
Care and cleaning
The maintenance of a PP pool is uncomplicated. The smooth surface prevents dirt or impurities from settling. With modern water treatment, the pool water remains permanently clear and hygienic and you can enjoy a shiny water surface in the long term.
You should observe the following care instructions:
- Regular inspection of the filter technology
- Cleaning the pool walls and floor with gentle agents
- Checking the water level and water level
- Use of a pool cover to keep out dirt
- Adjusting the water temperature using suitable technology
Comparison with other materials
A PP pool differs from other prefabricated pools in various ways.
- Polypropylene (PP): High robustness, long service life, easy-care surface, great design freedom
- Concrete pool/foil pool: Adaptable, cheaper but also less durable
- GRP/finished basin: Quick assembly, good technology, but there is less choice in terms of shape and colour
- Granite: Very smooth surface, durable, but more expensive to purchase
The PP pool is therefore an interesting alternative for anyone looking for a combination of quality, value for money and modern technology. At egli jona, we will be happy to advise you individually on all possible options to suit your requirements, wishes and existing garden concept.
PP pool complete set - prices and costs
The cost of a polypropylene pool depends on many factors. These include the chosen shape, length, size, design and extras such as a counter-current system, water spouts, massage jets or a special pool cover. A simple standard model as a complete PP pool set is cheaper than an exclusive deluxe pool with extensive features.
The delivery time and transport also influence the price. If you want a pool and are interested in a PP pool, it is important to first define your exact requirements. That way, you can work with us to find the perfect solution for you and your garden.
