A complete service

Everything to do with swimming pools, plus water treatment, softeners, reverse osmosis, purification units, booster pumps and product sales.

Start to finish

A pool that belongs.

Our long experience allows us to offer a complete, meticulous technical service. We advise you so that your pool fits its surroundings while being practical for the way you use it.

From deciding what the pool will be like to switching it on, we carry out all the work ourselves, followed by maintenance and technical service. We mostly work for homeowners, but also for residential communities, hotels, campsites and gyms.

01

Pool construction

We build every type of pool, covering the designs on which most of today's pools are based.

Skimmer pool

Skimmer pools

The classic choice. Skimmers are intakes set at water level that collect floating debris, hair and leaves. The most common models are UV-treated ABS plastic or AISI-316 stainless steel.

Integration with the terrace or coping is fully customisable: plastic lids, or lids finished in tile, timber or exposed stonework. Return jets create a laminar current that carries debris into the skimmer baskets and the main drain.

Overflow pool

Overflow pools

The cleanest water there is. Inlets in the floor push water up so that it spills over the edge into surrounding channels, constantly renewing the whole surface.

Ix-sis overflow pool
Our own system

Ix-sis overflow pools

A system designed to do away with grilles around the pool: the water seems to disappear into the lawn or terrace. It shares all the features of a standard overflow pool.

Created by Impools · Piscines Ricard, the Ix-sis system has been a design reference for architects and landscape designers year after year.

Infinity-edge pool

Infinity-edge pools

Part of the pool merges with the horizon, creating continuity with the landscape. Depending on the setting, the effect can feel truly infinite. Relax and enjoy the view while you swim.

Your concrete pool, built from scratch

Inside the block formwork we assemble the reinforcement with steel mesh, rebar and hoops. We then spray concrete using the dry-mix gunite method: all components are pre-mixed and water is added at the nozzle, just before spraying.

The mix travels pneumatically through special hoses to the nozzle. Its great strength is adhesion: it hits the surface at high speed, filling irregularities, cracks and pores, and forms a bond that guarantees a solid hold once cured.

As for finishes, greys and beiges are popular today, with slate, stone, large-format porcelain and, for more rustic settings, coloured cement renders.

Our technical service

People increasingly want to respect the environment: saving water and energy and keeping visual impact to a minimum. In short, building efficient pools that respect their surroundings. We advise you on minimising environmental impact and reducing resource use, and our highly qualified technical team helps you get the most from your installation:

  • Repairs
  • Component replacement
  • Pool upgrades
  • Energy optimisation
03

Pool heating

Solar thermal panels on a roof

How can we enjoy the pool for longer? Heating systems warm the water and extend the swimming season.

Solar panels

Harness solar thermal energy to raise the water temperature by a few degrees for extra comfort.

Heat pumps

Heat and hold the water at your chosen temperature so you can use an outdoor pool for longer.

Thermal covers

Sheet and bubble covers that stop evaporation and keep the heat in without wasting energy.

04

Safety

Transparent safety fence around a pool

A pool is a place for leisure and exercise, not a source of worry. The installation must be as safe as possible, both in how it runs and in how it protects.

Particular attention must be paid to children's access. For greater protection there are certified enclosure systems: simple, elegant, safe and with minimal visual impact.

Removable or fixed fencing in a range of colours or with a transparent effect, automatic covers and PVC or monofilament winter covers.

05

Water treatment

Water softening and osmosis units in the shop

Let's be consistent about water. We are increasingly demanding about the water we use every day (showers, washing machines, cooking), and softeners and reverse osmosis systems are becoming common at home.

Water is a universal solvent: throughout its cycle it interacts with every element on Earth and picks up contaminants from industry, pesticides and more. Even when it meets drinking-water standards, it can show signs that affect your health and your home's installations.

Our technical team will assess the treatment plant, softeners, osmosis or other equipment best suited to your needs, for domestic or industrial use.

How do we keep your pool water at its best?

Fully automatic systems

Salt electrolysis and automatic pH control give the pool maximum autonomy.

Salt chlorination

Naturally antiseptic water with fewer by-products: it lasts for years just by adding salt, saving money and resources.

Robotic cleaners

Robots that clean the floor and walls, saving time and water.

UV treatment

Eliminates pathogens and reduces disinfectant use without adding more chemicals to the water.

08

Water analysis

Professional water testing kit

We analyse your pool water so we know exactly what it needs.

Bring a sample to the shop or ask our maintenance team: we measure the key parameters and recommend just the right treatment, with no excess product.

  • pH and alkalinity
