Frequently asked questions - polypropylene pools

No, this statement is absolutely incorrect. Any type of shell pool is subject to the risk of deformation — polypropylene, fiberglass, vinyl liner, steel structures, etc. Deformation is mainly related to the water pressure on the pool walls, and this applies to all types of shell pools on the market.

The strength of a polypropylene pool shell depends on several factors:

• Material thickness (e.g., 5 mm, 10 mm, or 15 mm — each providing different levels of strength)
• Technical ribbing
• The overall technological construction of the shell

These factors can vary significantly between different shell manufacturers.

Yes. The higher the strength of the shell the client chooses, the lower the risk of deformation. However, it should be noted that a higher-strength shell also means higher purchase costs.

Yes. The highest strength polypropylene pool shells can be tested directly at the factory — by filling them with water and checking for shell deformation while positioned above ground. Such a test proves that a high-quality polypropylene shell can be manufactured without any risks of deformation.

In addition to material thickness and construction, the appropriate pool shell backfilling technology is very important. This is one of the main factors ensuring that a polypropylene shell pool does not change its shape for years.
