Swimming Pool Liners

Posted by steve, in H2ofun, InGround Pool Advice, Swimming Pool Build & Construction, Swimming Pool Maintenance & Liner Fitting

If your pool liner is looking old and tied, then don’t worry its not as hard as you might think, to get your swimming pool looking good as new again. We are offering some amazing deals on our swimming pool liner service so if you are looking to replace your liner let us provide you with a quote.

At H2ofun we now offer a replacement liner service. We can offer this service in three parts.

  1. Remove old liner, survey measurements, fit and refill. We can also offer extras such as soft wall lining, which improves the feel of the liner and also holds insulation properties and underlay for the floor.
  2. You remove old liner and take measurements and we will supply and fit new liner.
  3. We can supply you with the liner only, and take measurements and fit yourself.

Please contact us for Liner order form

The best time for replacing a liner is normally at the start or end of the season depending on what state your liner is in, but it is important to remember that for a liner installation to fit well without creases it is ideal if the tempreture is about 22ºC, so that the vacuum can suck the liner back perfectly with no creases.

If you have any question or would like a liner order form please give us a call on 0845 408 4976

When is the best time to build a Swimming Pool

Posted by steve, in Above Ground Pools Advice, InGround Pool Advice, Swimming Pool Build & Construction

So when is the ideal time to build a Swimming Pool? Well now that the summer season is coming to an end but the weather is still relatively warm people tend to look at whether to build a pool now or leave it until after the New Year. In our opinion now is the ideal time to build your own Swimming Pool or commission a company like H2ofun to build one for you. Building a swimming pool now will give you the opportunity to repair and landscape the garden so that by spring you have everything in place for a whole seasons use.

A strong reason for a Swimming Pool build in the Autumn 2008 rather than Spring 2009 is COST!

Prices for Swimming Pools have remained static for a number of years and in some cases actually gone down, what we anticipate for the 2009 season will be a relatively dramatic increase. This will be driven by three main factors

  1. Manufacturing costs have risen, especially in the Far East with anticipated increases of upto 20%
  2. Transportation cost, shipping and local has increased dramatically over the past few months and will factor more prominently in 2009.
  3. Sterling has dropped against the Euro and the USD, suppliers increased their prices in the summer of 2008 due to the poor exchange rate which in general were not passed on by the trade. A further drop in sterling will impact prices for the 2009 season.

Now the negative news is out of the way, what is the best way to start looking at which swimming pool is ideal for me??

There are so many variations of Swimming Pools and it is always best to seek plenty of advice from a pool builder like h2ofun before committing yourself to commissioning a pool.

Basic questions to ask would be:

  • How does the building process work?
  • Pool build timeframe
  • Inground or Above ground
  • What is the customer support?
  • What is included in the pool package?
  • What is not included – some items MUST be factored in
  • What is the warranty on the pool products?
  • The shape, size and depth of the pool – traditional or freeform
  • Steps /roman end – what are my options
  • Choosing the right type of heater – a wrong type of heater over a 5 year period can cost as much as the cost of a pool!!
  • What is the option on the swimming pool liners, 20thou, 30thou colour / pattern
  • Pool Safety – what are my options?

If you have any question about commissioning a swimming pool or if you are interested in building your own swimming pool then give one of our experts a call on 0845 408 4976 or come and visit our shop and speak to one of our engineers.
