Frequently asked questions about prefab pools

It is a pool whose walls are made of ready-made galvanized steel panels, anchored to a base and lined with a PVC membrane (liner). It goes up quickly, with no formwork, and works exactly like any other pool. See our prefab pools page for the full details.

A pool of up to 50 m² that meets the conditions does not need a building permit. Instead it needs a small-scale works approval, with a declaration signed by an engineer. Full details on the pool without a building permit page.

All over Attica, on the islands and across mainland Greece, from Thessaloniki and Drama down to Kalamata. See all the areas we cover.

The liner in our prefab pools comes with a written 10-year warranty.

The panels are 1.10 m or 1.50 m high, and that sets the depth of the pool.

The panels are galvanized steel and the support buttresses are hot-dip galvanized, so they stand up to moisture. The liner has a written 10-year warranty.

Yes. A prefab pool can be built either with a skimmer or with an overflow channel.

Yes. Mechanically, the two systems work the same way and both give exceptionally clean water.

As a rule, up to about 60 m². For larger pools we recommend an overflow.

Yes. The water that spills over collects in a balance tank before it is filtered and returned to the pool.

Plastic or marble, about 25 cm wide.

The size is adapted to your yard. Send us the dimensions of the space and we will suggest the right solution.

For a pool under 50 m² that meets the conditions, a small-scale works approval with an engineer's signed declaration is enough.

About 32 m³ with 1.10 m panels and about 45 m³ with 1.50 m panels.

The water surface must be under 50 m². A 9 × 5 m pool (45 m²) is within the limit, while a 10 × 5 m pool (50 m²) is not.

No. A pool under 50 m² does not need a building permit, but it does need a small-scale works approval and an engineer's signed declaration.

Up to 1.5 m, with the structure rising no more than 1 m above natural ground level.

Because the walls must not be reinforced concrete. The steel panels of a prefab pool meet this condition.

A prefab pool with a skimmer and a liner, under 50 m², so that a small-scale works approval is enough.

Yes. Fill in the form or call us, and one of our team will send you a proposal.

The liner keeps the pool watertight for its whole life. In our prefab pools it comes with a written 10-year warranty.

A standard liner is smooth. If you want a non-slip surface, SOPREMAPOOL membranes have Class C slip resistance.

No. A liner pool must never be fully drained, because the water holds the liner in place. We lower the water level, drain the pipes and cover the pool.

It depends on the pool's volume and the temperature. In the summer heat, circulation runs for more hours. We give you operating instructions at handover.
