Vinyl Liner Pool Shapes

Thanks to their lightweight design and materials, vinyl liner swimming pools are quick to install. Depending on factors like the size and complexity of the design, total construction time may be as little as just a few days. Larger, more elaborate pool designs may take a bit longer to install. Most pools can be backfilling the walls within a couple days.

Pool Products Canada is proud to be the only online sales consultants offering EcoPools and In floor self cleaning pools. (OPTIONAL)

DESIGNED TO CIRCULATE WATER AND CHEMICALS THROUGHOUT YOUR POOL TO SAVE ON HEATING AND CHEMICAL COSTS.

In-floor systems are more than highly effective automatic pool cleaners. They also function as high efficiency circulation systems. They are so effective that they have been independently certified to save up to 30% on chemicals and energy for the life of your pool.

Pool Products Canada are a team of experts that can guide you through the ease of plumbing sequenced return jets in the floor saving you $$ year over year and directing all the debris to your optional collection main drain. Robotic and Suction style cleaners also work well, however they require hands on operation, clog themselves or your filters, and are not able to provide the Eco friendly water distribution.

Image below is a typical standard plumbing configuration, designed to cost you more $ in water care and heating costs.

Take the time to watch the video on how we can provide you with a self cleaning, energy efficient pool with optimized heat and chemical distribution that is virtually hands off. We provide precise instruction on placement of returns to ensure optimal performance with customized but simple autoCAD drawings.

An average EcoPool and self cleaning pool design shown here with in floor nozzles, debris accepting main drain and debris canister. A few hours work saves you time in the future. We can help with all hydraulic design for any pool or spa you dream of. Our drawings are guaranteed for optimal hydraulics and performance in pools, spas and all your water features. 

THE POOL PROCESS

We take visions as simple as this hand drawing shown below......and in a matter of a week or so, depending on weather of course, we have a beautifully constructed swimming pool for families to enjoy for years to come.

1. You're choice of pool pumps today are either single speed or variable speed. Single speed is always running at full speed. Variable speed pumps can adjust the rpm up and down based on demand. When I run my vsp at 30%(1000rpm) we are talking about consuming 100 watts versus 1800 watts on single speed 1 horsepower pump. This is $15 per month versus over $200 per month with single speed if running it 24hrs per day, which is optimal for circulation, sanitization and filtration. A Variable Speed  Pump pays for itself in just one season. This is the heartbeat of your pool. A great upgrade is the Hayward MaxFlo VS500, or the most efficient VS on the market by independent test standards; Haywards Tristar VS900.

2. Filtration... Sand filters are a great option and add convenience by having the ability to "backwash" when they get dirty. Backwashing flushes the filter in reverse and sends dirt and debris out a waste line removing water from your pool in the process. For heavily treed yards, this is probably the best choice. If you want to save your pool water that you have paid $ to heat and to treat with water balancing chemicals, a cartridge filter is the more energy conscious choice. Saving water, saving heat and chemicals, but also filters water particles down to under 10 microns whereas sand filter may be 30-40 microns. Crystal clear water is the best water.

3. Heater options are natural gas, propane, heat pumps (which consume electricity), solar panels, heat exchangers or geothermal. Depending on the cost of each resource in your local market and each individuals needs will determine which method you will use. Regardless, of the heater there are pretty basic ways to conserve your heat. Solar blankets and delivering return water to the bottom of your pool for starters.

This is where if you ask 10 pool builders their opinion  you will most likely have 6 using salt chlorination, 3 using a UV System + chlorine puck feeder and 1 using just a chlorine puck feeder. Let's start by just laying it out that you no matter what you use to disenfect and sanitize your water, you NEED to maintain a chlorine residual in the pool. Salt systems manufacture 100% pure chlorine at the equipment pad after introducing enough salt into the pool to raise salt level to 3000+ parts per million. (PPM) This chlorine differs from other forms as it's not combined with binders and other materials. Other forms range from 14% to 35% actual chlorine. The chlorine produced via salt is closer in pH to our target pH (7.4-7.6) which means less pH down chemical to purchase. Having salt (NaCl) chlorination for your pool water has other benefits for your skin, eliminates eye irritation  and eliminates the spikes of high chlorine.. low chlorine.., as its consistent. Where some negative experiences with salt stems from are typically in cases where the chlorine wasn't checked often enough and the salt system produced chlorine and no one turned the system to an appropriate desired output. This could fade a liner prematurely. Other scenarios where pool water with higher levels of salt dry up on pool deck and a white residue remains. I do prefer pools with Salt Systems and my preference is using Hayward Low Salt systems which operate best using 30-50% less salt than any other brands on the market. Unlikely to ever over produce chlorine and no residue and no negative impact on any other pool equipment.

UV (ultraviolet) bulbs are a great option as a supplement to chlorine pucks to reduce chlorine demand and kill bacteria in the water. You still need to introduce small amount of chlorine to maintain a 1-3ppm of chlorine. So a UV system would reduce chemical $ consumption or ultimately extend the life of your salt cell by allowing you to run it less, thus extending the hours of its lifespan.

5. Lighting...LEDs are standard and most builders are using multiple smaller lights positioned throughout the pool opposed to single large leds to illuminate and flood the entire pool eliminating dead zones. Small return jet Hayward ColorLogic leds are 1.5" and easy to install without the need to winterize every year. Just leave them in the wall. 

6. Automatic vacuums. Choices are Robotic, which are plug n play and contain all the dirt and debris inside of itself in a canister or filter cartridges or you can use a  suction cleaner that connect to either your skimmer suction or independent suction line, pulls all the dirt and debris through to your pump and filter. Running this style of cleaner will have you back washing your sand filter or cleaning your cartridge periodically. Another method is in floor cleaning which feature nozzles installed in your pool to direct dirt and debris down to a maindrain to collect and capture in a canister deckside or at the equipment pad. More labour but your pool can clean itself.

I put two small sheer descent waterfalls (both 1' long) on a raised wall, two LED laminar jets shooting up from behind the raised wall into the pool and two basic bubblers in my walk in steps. I wish I had of installed color LED bubblers instead of bubbler without lights. Oh well..
