Oval composite pools

Oval composite pools maximize the lengthwise swimming area in long plots without taking up square footage with external support legs. Their anchoring with beams buried in the ground eliminates the protruding braces typical of steel pools, leaving the entire perimeter clear and uncluttered.

Composite made from synthetic resin and wood particles does not splinter, withstands the elements without requiring annual varnishing, and dampens the sound of water. In addition, the composite wall retains daytime heat better, keeping the water 1 to 2 degrees warmer than with simple metal walls.

Installing a composite oval pool requires a reinforced concrete slab at least 15 to 17 cm thick. The surface must be perfectly level to withstand the static load of the water and securely anchor the lower steel profiles.

Installation requires channels to be made in the ground beforehand to embed IPE-type structural iron beams or metal omega profiles. This mechanism supports the pool's straight sides without visible external supports, ensuring that water pressure does not deform the structure over time.

Composite pool kits include two types of access: an exterior ladder made from the same structural composite and an interior stainless steel ladder with non-slip steps. This configuration protects the interior liner from accidental punctures and provides stable support for swimmers of any age.

If you need replacement accessories to renew or supplement access to above-ground pools, you can install a Gre ladder for above-ground pools mod. AR11680 in accordance with the manufacturer's standards.

The required filtration flow rate depends directly on the total water volume of each oval model:

• 5.24 x 3.86 m models (approx. 16 m³): pump and filter with a minimum flow rate of 4 to 6 m³/h.
• 6.64 x 3.86 m models (approx. 21.5 m³): sand filter system with a flow rate of 6 to 8 m³/h.
• Models measuring 8.04 x 3.86 m (approx. 27 m³): pumps with a flow rate above 8 m³/h.

To ensure the entire pool is recirculated in under four hours, it is advisable to use certified components such as a Starpool Ø450 mm sand filter for pool with pump and multiport valve, designed to keep the water crystal clear without overloading the pump.

Composite pools use a flexible PVC inner liner that can be treated with traditional chlorine, bromine, or salt electrolysis without degrading. To remove sediment and fine debris deposited on the bottom, you can connect a Zodiac T5 Duo automatic pool cleaner to the suction inlet; it uses the power of the filtration system.

The outer composite walls should be cleaned only with low-pressure water or mild soap, with no need to sand them or apply protective sealants against sunlight or ambient moisture.

Yes, composite panels can be installed above ground, partially buried, or fully buried in the ground. As they do not rot when in contact with ground moisture, they offer structural versatility in gardens with slopes or steep terraces.

For burial, follow the manufacturer's technical guidelines: build perimeter retaining walls or install protective extruded polystyrene boards to prevent the direct pressure of the soil from creating concentrated pressure on the panels when the pool is emptied for occasional maintenance.

Composite material withstands subzero temperatures and severe frost without cracking or shrinking, thanks to the elastic blend of resin and pressed wood. Winter care should focus on the water inside and the inlet and return pipes:

• Lower the water level below the skimmer and empty the external collectors.
• Place expansion bottles or floats in the water to counteract the force of ice against the walls.
• Install an opaque cover secured to the top edge to block leaves and ultraviolet radiation.

The outer composite does not require moisture-resistant paints or special coatings before the cold season of 2026.
