Superior one-piece pools For indoor and outdoor use www.bakewellpools.co.uk
About us Bakewell Pools is a leading supplier of one-piece swimming pools. We are a family business and have specialised in the supply of fibreglass and acrylic swimming pools for over 25 years. About 15 years ago Bakewell Pools moved from pool installing to supply only and since that time has delivered well over five hundred fibreglass pools to the UK, mainland Europe and Channel Islands for self and builder installation. This background gives us an excellent knowledge base to help our customers with their own installation. We regularly liaise with customer s builders, plumbers and electricians to offer advice or reassurance prior to and during the installation process. This is all part of the service we offer. We welcome potential customers to come and visit our showroom in Oxford where we have two indoor working demonstration pools. Viewings are available 7 days a week by appointment. Why fibreglass? One-piece fibreglass swimming pools are now firmly established within the UK swimming pool industry and it s not difficult to see why. Installation can be carried out by your builder and can be completed within a fraction of the time and cost of a concrete or liner pool and with much less disruption. The light, skimmer and inlets/outlets are all factory fitted during manufacture which saves you considerable time. Our fibreglass pools are a one-piece reinforced construction with options for internal corner steps and benches, roman ends and chambers for automatic covers. Being one-piece you don t have to worry about the sharp edges you quite often get on a liner pool with a bolted-on roman end. Of course, you also have no joins or seams that can leak or encourage bacteria build up. Current Building Regulations require indoor pools to be insulated. We offer a factory sprayed insulation service which conforms to Part L of these regulations to save you having to do this on site. Our fibreglass swimming pools can be installed indoors or outdoors. They generally sit in-ground, but can be situated above ground or part in-ground if adequate support is provided. This is often a requirement within a heavily sloped garden. Fibreglass pools are perfect for long term everyday use. Gone are the worries about tearing or wrinkling the liner or mosaic tiles popping off. Our pools include a 10-year manufacturer s warranty although in reality these pools are for life. New ceramic range Bakewell Pools has just launched a new range of ceramic pools. These one-piece pools incorporate a fibreglass shell along with specific ceramic and vinyl components and are finished off with three layers of 3-dimentional gelcoat to provide a sparkling and luxurious finish. 1
How a pool works To keep a clean and clear pool, the water must pass through a filtration process. Water is drawn from the low suction grills and the waterline skimmer by the circulating pump and taken into the plantroom to be filtered, cleaned and heated. The water is pushed down through a bed of media filter, such as sand in the filter trapping any debris. The water continues its journey through a heating appliance; this may be a boiler or heat pump controlled by a thermostat. Lastly the water travels through a chlorine/bromine feeder and possibly a UV lamp to purify and sanitise before returning to the pool via 2 to 3 inlets positioned at the opposite end of the pool. UV This process happens for a few hours each day and is controlled by a time switch located in the plant room. Every week or so the filter will need cleaning via a process called backwashing. This discards the debris trapped in the filter media out to waste. Most of our pool models now use a new filtration media called OC-1 which reduces the amount of backwashing required by around 75%, thus saving on waste water. A Multicyclone filter is an alternative method of filtering the water which takes less space up in the plant room and uses a cartridge filter. The Multicyclone discards minimal water during the cleaning process. Things to consider when planning your pool When planning your project, give careful consideration to the pool location. Have a thought for drainage, sun position and wind direction, underground pipes and cables, and overhanging trees and foliage. Your plant room need only be a garden DIY shed measuring 1.2m x 2m and the nearer to the pool the less pipework and trench digging will be required. Most outdoor pools do not require planning permission unless you are within a conservation area so this should be checked during the early stages of planning your project. If your pool is an indoor pool, you ll need to plan ahead to get the pool in place prior to completing walls and/ or roof. It s a good idea to have your plant room in an adjacent room to the pool hall. That way you can opt for a through the wall dehumidifier which draws air through a grill keeping the bulkier equipment out of the pool hall. Have a thought for the type of flooring that will surround your pool. The traditional bullnose coping stone that overhangs the pool is a popular choice or you may wish to continue your main flooring right up to the pool edge. This might be decking on an outdoor pool or slate/limestone tile on an indoor pool. 2
Installation Our pools are delivered on a low loader transporter and the driver can detach the trailer from the front cab to carry the pool a short distance to enable better access to the site. During manufacture, steel reinforcing bars and perimeter buttressing are encased within the shell to ensure maximum strength. If the ground is not quite ready for the pool on delivery, then it can be set down in an appropriate holding place and lowered in at a later stage using your digging equipment. Steel lifting strops are glassed into both sides of the pool to enable it to be carried and lowered into the ground. Full installation instructions will be provided as well as telephone technical support if needed. You may be looking to install the pool yourself, or to employ a builder or garden landscaper. Installing a fibreglass pool is straight forward and follows these basic steps: The dig We ll provide you with the dig measurements specific to the pool size you have chosen Ground preparation Lay a pea shingle base and level Pool Lower the pool into the hole and check levels Pipework Connect pipes to the factory fitted inlets/outlets and run back to the plantroom The fill Backfill the surrounding trench with pea shingle whilst filling the pool with water Finish Lay a concrete ring beam around the top as a base for your coping/flooring Plantroom Pipe up your filtration equipment Reach for your costume! 3
Customising your pool As well as providing your swimming pool, Bakewell Pools can advise and supply on other equipment such as heating, de-humidification and covers etc. Insulation For indoor pools, insulation is now a compulsory Building Regulation requirement. Our pools can be spray insulated at the factory during the production and will comply with Part L of the current Building Regulations. Heating For outdoor pools an air source heat pump is a popular and economic method of heating a pool. Indoor pools are generally used all year round therefore oil/gas boilers are a good heating method. Dehumidification and ventilation Every indoor swimming pool will require some form of dehumidification and ventilation to control the condensation and evaporation from the warm pool water. Disinfection Why not save yourself time and reduce the manual handling of chemicals and invest in an automatic chlorine feeder. UV systems are particularly popular as they dramatically reduce the amount of chemical disinfection required. SwimJet The resistance of the water flowing towards you allows you to swim continuously without being limited to the length of the pool. A SwimJet can be fitted into any of our one-piece models; they don t need to be just for exercise, they can be for fun as well! Pool covers An uncovered swimming pool will lose about 65% or more of its heat by evaporation. If safety is a consideration, automatic and manual safety covers are available which lock down the cover for peace of mind. We have a range of pools that incorporate a cover chamber which hides away an automatic slatted cover when not in use. Enclosures A quick and cost effective way of converting an outdoor pool to an indoor pool. There are a number of options available including telescopic enclosures and inflatable domes right through to rustic log cabins.
