PoolStore offers a nationwide service for heavy duty swimming pool lining. Heavy duty pool liners are usually used in commercial situations but many domestic pool owners are now having them installed. No matter what the size or shape of your pool we can put a liner in it. Whether it is for a home, a school, leisure centre, holiday park, commercial or domestic, we can prepare and install a heavy duty liner for you.

Heating a swimming pool using solar energy has always been a good idea, free heat from the sun is always preferable to a large gas or electric bill. We have three very different types of solar pool heater. At the enrty level is the Keops Solar Pod. A very simple device designed for small above ground pools. The pool water goes through a black spiral coil under a perspex dome and absorbs the heat from the sun. Simple, cheap and effective. At the high end of the scale is the Thermecro system. This has glass tubes that are coated in silver and have had all the air taken out, very similar to a thermos flask.
The filter is one of the most important pieces of swimming pool equipment. It traps within it particles dirt and debris and returns clean water back to your swimming pool. Inground swimming pools and large above ground swimming pools usually have sand filters. These consist of a large cylindrical chamber filled with special filter sand. Pool water is pumped in under pressure at the top and works its way down the filter and leaves at the bottom. On the way and dirt in the water should be trapped in between the particles of sand.
An above ground pool is just as much fun as an in-ground pool but at a fraction of the cost. Assembling a DIY above ground swimming pool is not hard and with the Intex Easy Set above ground pool kit they are ready to fill with water in as little as 30 minutes. All our above ground pool kits come with all the equipment you need to keep your water clean. A filter and an electric pump to circulate the water and all our above ground pools have ladders to get in and out of the water. There are two types of above ground swimming pool - pools with hard sides and above ground pools with soft side.
The important thing for the pool owner is not so much the Horse Power but the amount of water the swimming pool pump can move in an hour. The amount of water it can move depends upon how much resistance the pipes etc. put upon it. The resistance of the pipes etc. is measured in "metres of head". It is possible to work out the resistance in your pool pipework but it is very complicated. Most domestic pools have a resistance of 10 to 13 metres. As a rule of thumb, you should circulate your entire pool volume in 8 hours, so your hourly capacity should be the volume of your pool divided by 8.
Underwater lighting of your pool or spa is possible with a variety of high and low voltage systems. There are 2 main types of Swimming Pool Lighting. Within these categories we have various price and product options to suit all indoor and outdoor inground pools. The most standard form of lighting for traditional swimming pools is 300W 12V Sealed Beam Underwater Lighting. Generally within the UK, they tend to be made by Certikin and fit to the side or end of your pool wall. They are relatively cheap and easy to maintain and are suitable for installing on concrete and liner pools.
Heat Pumps - powered by electricity but using a refrigerant gas to transfer heat to the water. In this section we only deal with Direct Electric Heaters for Heat Pumps visit the Pool Heat Pump section. The electric heaters shown here all have one thing in common, they use a heating element to heat the water. The elements are quite similar to the elements used in a domestic kettle but you cannot put a heater directly in to the pool water, the water must flow over the elements propelled by the swimming pool's circulation pump.
Gas heaters are the most popular type of heater found on swimming pools. Like many items of pool equipment you can choose between American made models and UK made models. American gas heaters have to be imported and have to be converted to meet EU gas regulations so if you have found a heater on an American pool website there is no guarantee that the manufacturer has decided to convert it and make it available on the UK market. Jandy are the biggest maker of gas pool heaters in the world. They bought out Laars and now market the Laars gas heaters as Jandy Laars.
PoolStore sells a full range of swimming pool heaters to suit any swimming pool from a 10ft splasher pool to a semi-commercial swimming pool. When choosing a swimming pool heater the first thing you need to decide is what source of energy you are going to use. If you have mains gas then look first at the gas fired swimming pool heaters. Probably the best gas pool heater is the the Certikin Genie boiler because it is the only condensing boiler on the market. This means that it is more energy efficient than conventional heaters.

A swimming pool heat pump is quite simply the cheapest way to heat a swimming pool. They are the cheapest way to heat a swimming pool because for every unit of electricity you put in to a swimming pool heat pump you get up to 5 units of heat put in to your pool water. As well as being up to 500% efficient they are the easiest type of pool heater to install and they need next to no maintenance. Not only are heat pumps good for your wallet they are good for the environment too. They are the kind of energy efficient heater that governments all over the world are encouraging their citizens to use.
Hot water from your boiler is piped in, runs through the stainless steel pipes and back to your boiler. Pool water is piped in and runs through a second set of stainless steel pipes and on to the pool. The cooler pool water draws in the heat from the hot boiler water and this is how the pool water is warmed. Installing a heat exchanger involves a lot of pipework and the closer your domestic boiler is to your pool the better. The size of heat exchanger to have is determined by the BTU rating of your domestic boiler.
In addition to these two covers you can also buy safety covers to help prevent children and pets from accidentally falling in he water. The solar cover is made from high quality plastic with a UV stabiliser to resist attack by sun light. The cover has a flat top and air bubbles on the underside to help insulate the swimming pool and to make it float. When the sun shines on the cover it lets the heat through and our solar swimming pool covers are made with a silver underside to reflect the heat back in to the pool water.
At the top of the range is the wooden above ground pool. Made from pre-treated high quality timber most of them have a 10 year guarantee. The wooden frame holds up a vinyl liner and the kit will include a circulation pump and a sand filter. The pipework is the same as an inground pool and can easily be altered. You can part bury a wooden pool and build decking up to it making it an attractive and eye catching feature in your garden. The most popular type of above ground pool is the metal framed version.
