Interview: Why is swimming pool equipment essential?

Safety equipment

At Desjoyaux, we offer our customers a complete range of security devices:
– The immersion alarm ,
– The pool barrier ,
– Safety covers : flexible (opaque and net type), bar covers , above-ground roller shutters , submerged roller shutters .
– swimming pool enclosures : here again, we have a complete range.

One of these 4 devices must be fitted to the swimming pool.

Many pools are equipped with an immersion alarm, which fulfills its role perfectly: compliance with safety legislation. This product does not provide any additional comfort. The alarm is activated when a person falls into the pool. The majority of customers who choose the alarm subsequently invest in so-called comfort equipment.
Soft opaque or net covers are the preferred products for wintering. Since they are rather tedious to install, it is difficult to choose this equipment to secure a swimming pool year-round (by which I mean wintering and swimming season since this involves replacing the device after each use of the pool).

Another device that offers excellent value for money and is quite popular with customers is the bar cover. It is easier to operate than soft covers and can be made easier by an additional motor.

Finally, we have the safety devices that secure the pool , protect it from external pollution and heat the water: above-ground and submerged roller shutters and flat, low, mid-height and residential shelters. Another budget but additional comfort for your pool.

Equipment that makes using the pool easier

Because owning a swimming pool still involves devoting a minimum of attention to water treatment or pool cleaning, there is equipment that makes your life easier:

Hydraulic or electric robots

The hydraulic version uses your pool's filtration for cleaning and the electric version which works using an electrical outlet.
The robot works for you on a predefined cycle (electric version).
Once you try an electric robot , you won't be able to do without it! The Desjoyaux brand offers a very complete range of hydraulic and electric robots.

Automatic treatments

Automatic treatments are devices that produce chlorine from the salt present in the pool through an electrochemical process called electrolysis.
This device frees you from putting the traditional chlorine tablet in your swimming pool.
The second device we sell is JD DUAL, a 2-in-1 system: electrolyzer and pH regulator.
Some of these devices also have a roller shutter control function to reduce the amount of disinfectants when the shutter is closed.
These automatic treatments are autonomous but do not free you from checking the water parameters once a week to ensure that the quantity of disinfectant is sufficient.

Comfort equipment

These facilities allow pool users to extend the swimming season.

Heating your swimming pool

To enjoy your pool, there's nothing like warm water. There are many heating options: electric heaters, heat exchangers, or heat pumps.
An electric heater is a good purchase but quickly adds up to an electricity bill. A heat pump is an initial investment that remains environmentally friendly and cost-effective to run. A heated pool is a joy, and once you try it, you won't be able to live without it!

Protect and heat your swimming pool

The last remaining options for multi-functional equipment are roller shutters and pool enclosures.
These products ensure the safety of your pool, protect it from external pollution, making it easier to maintain and winterize, and they also heat the pool water. Not to mention that a pool enclosure also allows you to swim when the weather is gloomy.

Swimming pool equipment that is not essential for the operation of the pool quickly becomes essential for the comfort of bathers.
The choice of equipment depends on the client's budget, the benefits expected from installing the equipment, and to a lesser extent, the pool's configuration. Our teams are there to advise clients in their choice, taking all parameters into account. Calling on a knowledgeable professional means ensuring that your pool is properly equipped .
