Desjoyaux Pools pool renovation - old pool in new splendor

Is your pool getting on in years and needs to be renovated? Next summer is sure to come - and with it the desire for a well-functioning, well-maintained swimming pool. Older systems in particular often no longer meet today's technical and energy requirements. At Heim und Handwerk in Munich, we spoke to Axel Steinbach from Desjoyaux Pools about modern solutions for pool renovation.

Pool renovation with an innovative pool filter system

The majority of private indoor and outdoor pools were built from concrete in the 1980s. Many of these pools are still in good structural condition, but show age-related weaknesses in terms of technology, waterproofing or energy consumption. The key question is therefore: Can an existing pool be renovated in a sensible way without having to carry out extensive excavation or concrete work? At Heim+Handwerk, Desjoyaux demonstrated that almost any built-in pool that has been concreted or solidly constructed can be refurbished. The hanging filter including pump and water intake is placed directly on the pool wall. No concrete has to be cut, no pipes laid and no technical room created. The pool is given a new liner and is therefore technically and visually up to date.

• Refurbishment of existing concrete and solid pools
• Suspended filter without interfering with the building structure
• New pool liner to complete the refurbishment

Sustainable technology for existing pools

Another aspect of pool renovation is the energy requirement during operation. The filter pumps used operate at around 450 Wh, while the complete water treatment system requires around 500 to 600 Wh. This power consumption is ideal for operation with solar power, which is an important advantage, especially for existing systems. Another technical difference lies in the water supply. The filter system does not require a sewer connection as the water is treated directly in the pool. Elaborate pipework through the garden is completely eliminated, as are possible leaks or pressure losses.

• Low energy requirement of the filter and pump technology
• Very suitable for solar operation
• No piping and no sewer connection necessary

Renovation without demolition - even with damaged pools

Not every pool is completely watertight or structurally sound. However, there is a solution for porous or damaged pools. In such cases, a new system can be installed in the existing pool. The pool is built on a newly poured concrete floor slab without having to completely remove the old pool. The new pool is slightly smaller, but remains much more functional and energy efficient than the original system. This approach saves costs, reduces construction time and avoids extensive demolition work.

• Pool-in-pool solution for porous pools
• New construction possible on existing structure
• Reduced construction time and lower costs

Short construction time and quick recommissioning

A decisive advantage of modern pool refurbishment is the short implementation time. In many cases, the refurbishment is completed within a week, provided no extensive concrete work is required. This enables reliable planning and a quick return to use - especially with a view to the coming swimming season.

• Refurbishment often takes just a few days
• Limited restrictions on the property
• Planable processes without long construction phases
