  THE KAFKO DIY POOL
4ft & 5ft Kafko Polymer Panel In Ground Swimming Pool DIY Kit
IT MAY BE EASIER THAN YOU THINK!
Not everybody would want to or be able to dig a hole and build your own outdoor swimming pool, but it may be easier than you think!
Understandably, most people’s concept of an outdoor swimming pool is a fully tiled concrete pool at a horrific cost. They would be right! The cost of a basic concrete & tiled swimming pool starts from £35,000.00 for a 20’ x 15’ pool size and takes up to 10 weeks to build.
The idea behind this video is for you, the end user to consider building an outdoor in-ground swimming pool (with a lifetime structural guarantee) that aesthetically looks like an in-ground concrete pool but is far easier to install (within 10 days) and is way under half the cost.
The Kafko in-ground swimming pool construction is ideally suited to the person who enjoys doing general DIY around the house. Even a keen DIY enthusiast has a limit to his building skills. Therefore viewing this video, (filmed on location in the U.K), will enable you to ascertain what aspects of the pool construction you can and cannot do. Any part of the construction that you feel requires expertise, you can either contact your local swimming pool dealer or a general builder for help - this video will at least enable you see what the desired result should be.
An in-depth installation guide will be provided with your Kafko Outdoor swimming pool kit. The manual is stage index linked to the video for example ’stage 9’ on the video will correspond with ’stage 9’ in the manual.
The heart and lungs of a Kafko outdoor swimming pool is the filtration system. Every Kafko In-ground Swimming Pool comes with high a quality swimming Pool Pump and 6 way multiport sand filter to suit the size of Kafko swimming Pool that you have chosen. This will ensure that is easy for you to keep your In-ground Swimming Pool clean and safe to use and help prolong the life of your liner.
One point to remember is that the liner is the finished cosmetic look of the swimming pool so one of the great advantages of installing a panel & liner outdoor swimming pool is that in approximately 8-10 years the liner will need to be replaced. This is a very simple and straightforward procedure and at present-day costs, a replacement liner for a 30 x 15’ Kafko pool would cost £1200 inc.VAT so every 8-10 years it will look like you have a brand new outdoor swimming pool!
Another point to bear in mind when replacing the swimming pool liner in the future is to consider changing the depth of the pool. If you built your Kafko In-ground pool to the standard 4ft depth this would be the ideal opportunity to increase the depth by hand digging to a new depth of 5ft. The cost of the liner whether it is 4 or 5ft will remain the same!
It is also possible to raise the Kafko swimming pool above ground level by as much as 18" using the excavated soil to build a patio around it, finished with either a retaining wall or gradually sloping turf. This may be done to save on the cost of earth removal and the time and effort involved in excavation, especially when hand digging is involved.
