Thanks to their simple interlocking design, Porocell pools are suitable for DIY construction, eliminating the need for formwork and insulation. The blocks that make up the system are made of high-density extruded polystyrene and can be cut every 25 centimeters with a saw or knife. All pool components to be installed, such as skimmers, inlets, lighting fixtures,
and counter-current devices, can be installed easily and precisely. This flexibility allows for great freedom in designing the pool’s shape, adapting to the pool’s dimensions as well.
We place the system’s bricks on a reinforced concrete base, which we reinforce with rebar and fill with ready-mix concrete. We lay a layer of geotextile on the pool walls and the base. If the pool is lined with a prefabricated liner, a plastic profile is attached to the pool rim to facilitate easy installation of the liner.
Nearly 80% of the heat escapes through the water’s surface. Nevertheless, it is highly recommended to insulate the pool walls as well. With the help of Porocell bricks, the water in our pool heats up faster, allowing the swimming season to start earlier and extending the late-summer season. Porocell pools utilize natural solar energy to heat the pool. By adding a pool cover to the Porocell pool, the swimming season can be significantly extended. By upgrading the system with an energy-efficient heat pump, you can enjoy the swimming experience for much longer than in other types of pools.
This property of the wall also depends on temperature changes, such as stresses or frost damage, which can damage both the pool wall and the liner. The Porocell system, on the other hand, prevents this by absorbing the stresses.
