What is the lifespan of a swimming pool kit?

What is a kit pool?

The word "kit" is often mistakenly associated with a limited lifespan. However, in-ground pool kits are pools specifically designed for installation by individuals.

This ease of installation has no impact on the lifespan of the pool, quite the opposite.
The Desjoyaux brand, which invented the in-ground swimming pool kit with its dual concept, is proof of this.
The structure is a permanent active formwork, in other words, a formwork that remains in place after the concrete is poured. The brand had the revolutionary and ingenious idea of ​​manufacturing polypropylene* panels assembled together on site, then reinforced and filled with concrete.

Objective: Save time on construction sites and use sufficient concrete to provide a strong pool structure. The structural panels and the pool base slab are poured in a single operation. This results in a monolithic, self-supporting structure.

Why does a Desjoyaux swimming pool kit have an unlimited lifespan?

Once installed, the Desjoyaux swimming pool kit has an unlimited lifespan due to the combination of polypropylene / concrete / reinforcement.
The single-step casting process that connects the structure and the base slab also guarantees the structure's resistance to the test of time. The first Desjoyaux pools are still in operation today, more than 50 years old.

Of course, the liner and filtration have probably been replaced to give the pool a new lease of life, but the structure itself has not changed.
This is also one of the advantages of a Desjoyaux in-ground pool kit: the renovation of the various components of the pool can be done without impacting the structure.

Since the latter is not waterproof, it is covered with a liner (PVC sheet) intended to ensure the watertightness of the pool. The lifespan of the liner is linked to the maintenance of the pool and the balance of the water parameters.

The filtration unit also includes all the components necessary for filtering the pool water: filter room cover and technical room cover, piping, filtration pump, spotlights, etc. These components can be replaced independently of each other, thus giving the filtration unit a very long service life.

The unlimited lifespan of a Desjoyaux pool kit is also a plus for property valuation. An in-ground pool in a garden remains an undeniable advantage for owners in the event of a sale of the property and for buyers due to the well-being they will derive from it.

*Polypropylene is naturally resistant to mold, bacteria, and other microorganisms. Its lifespan is very long, even infinite.
