Pool accessories

You've taken the plunge, your pool is now waiting for you in your garden. Just a little more effort, but don't overlook the importance of pool accessories!

To keep the water clean, ensure the safety of bathers or improve the comfort and efficiency of maintenance, each accessory has its importance!

Pool cleaning accessories

Surface skimmers

Surface skimmers help keep your pool clean. Placed on the surface of the water, they catch leaves, insects and other floating debris before they sink and become more difficult to remove.

Investing in a good surface skimmer keeps the water clean and reduces the workload on other filtration systems.

Pool hoovers

Pool hoovers come in a variety of forms.

Manual hoovers They require human intervention to ensure precise cleaning of nooks and crannies and hard-to-reach areas. They are often more affordable and ideal for smaller pools.

Automatic hoovers Hoovers: these hoovers, powered by the pool's filtration system, move automatically to clean the floor and walls. They offer a good compromise between efficiency and cost.

Robot hoovers autonomous and programmable, the pool robots are the most advanced. They clean independently, allowing thorough cleaning without human intervention. The efficiency of pool robots and their convenience justify their higher cost.

Brushes and sponges

For thorough manual cleaning, there's nothing like brushes and sponges.

Different types of brushes :

Nylon brushes Perfect for delicate surfaces such as liner or polyester hulls, they clean without damaging.

Stainless steel brushes Effective on concrete and tiled surfaces, they remove algae and stubborn stains.

Abrasive sponges Used for localised tasks, they are ideal for removing oily residues and calcium deposits.

Cleaning nets

Cleaning nets are available in surface and bottom versions. Their role is to remove debris quickly. Regular use prevents the build-up of dirt, making the work of the filtration and suction systems easier.

Cleaning chemicals

Using the right chemicals keeps the water clear and healthy. Common products include :

Chlorine A main disinfectant, it eliminates bacteria and algae.

Anti-algae prevents and treats the proliferation of algae.

Flocculants These help to bind together fine particles, making them easier to filter out.

Safety accessories for your pool

Safety barriers

Safety barriers are designed to prevent accidents around the pool, particularly for families with young children.

They come in a range of materials, including glass, aluminium and wood.

In France, the law imposes strict standards for swimming pool barriers, such as a minimum height of 1.10 metres and secure locking to prevent unsupervised access.

Swimming pool alarms

Swimming pool alarms detect accidental falls. There are two main types of alarm:

Immersion alarms These devices are triggered when an object or person enters the water, emitting an audible signal to alert occupants.

Perimeter alarms These are installed around the pool to create an invisible barrier that triggers an alarm when crossed. These systems are particularly useful for large spaces and irregularly shaped pools.

Swimming pool covers

Pool covers are used both to protect the water from debris and to ensure safety. Here are the main types of cover:

Safety tarpaulins Designed to support the weight of a child or pet, these pool covers considerably reduce the risk of drowning.

They are often made from robust materials such as reinforced PVC.

Winter covers Used during months of inactivity, these pool covers prevent the build-up of debris and help maintain water quality.

Automatic tarpaulins Our covers: practical and easy to use, these covers unroll and retract automatically using a motor. They offer optimum protection and easy access to the pool.

Safety lighting

Lighting in and around the pool ensures optimum visibility, especially when swimming at night. Well-placed lighting can prevent accidents by illuminating potentially dangerous areas. Options include:

Underwater luminaires Underwater lights: installed underwater, they light up the pool and make it more attractive at night.

Perimeter lighting Positioned around the pool, they increase visibility of steps, ledges and access paths.

Solar projectors An ecological and economical option, these lights use solar energy to illuminate the pool surrounds without any additional energy costs.

Comfort accessories

Pool ladders and stairs

Ladders and staircases provide easy access to the pool and ensure the safety of bathers. They come in a variety of materials and styles:

Stainless steel ladders corrosion-resistant and durable, ideal for both above-ground and in-ground pools. Their simple, elegant design blends in perfectly with any environment.

Resin staircases The new pool covers offer a smooth entry into the water, making them particularly suitable for family pools. They are robust and easy to install.

Integrated staircases Staircases: perfect for in-ground pools, they add a touch of elegance and comfort. These stairs can be customised with non-slip surfaces for added safety.

Pool heating systems

Extend your swimming season and enjoy water at the ideal temperature thanks to our heating systems!

Heat pumps Pool heaters: use the outside air to heat the pool water. They are efficient and economical, ideal for regions with moderate temperatures.

Solar water heaters Solar water heaters: use solar energy to heat water. They are particularly suited to sunny regions.

Electric heaters They provide a rapid temperature rise, making them ideal for small pools or spas. However, they can be more expensive in terms of electricity consumption.

Water care accessories

Water quality testers

Maintain the water's chemical balance for healthy, enjoyable swimming. Water quality testers allow you to monitor and adjust pH, chlorine and other essential parameters:

Kits manual tests These kits use chemical reagents to measure pH, chlorine, alkalinity and other levels. These kits are accurate and affordable, although they do require some handling.

Electronic testers These kits provide fast, accurate digital readings. They are more expensive than manual kits, but offer ease of use and are ideal for frequent testing.

Automatic chlorine regulators

Automatic chlorine regulators simplify pool maintenance by maintaining a constant level of disinfection.

Floating chlorinators These devices slowly release chlorine into the water. They're easy to use and economical, making them ideal for small pools.

Integrated chlorine dispensers Installed directly in the filtration system, they automatically dose the right amount of chlorine. They offer a practical, efficient solution for large pools.

Salt chlorine generators

Salt chlorinators are a fashionable alternative to traditional chlorination methods. They convert salt into chlorine by electrolysis. Their advantages include :

Softer water Water treated with a salt chlorine generator is less irritating to the skin and eyes, making for a more pleasant bathing experience.

Low maintenance These systems require less monitoring and replenishment of chemicals, simplifying day-to-day pool maintenance.

Durability and efficiency Despite a higher initial investment, operating costs are often lower in the long term, thanks to a reduction in the purchase of chemical products.

Flocculants and clarifiers

For crystal-clear water, flocculants and clarifiers are invaluable products. They act by bringing together the fine particles that cloud the water, making them easier to eliminate by the filtration system:

Flocculants They cause fine particles to agglomerate into larger flakes, which are then captured by the filter. They are particularly useful after storms or intensive use of the pool.

Clarifying agents Flocculants: improve water clarity by helping filters to capture small particles. They are often used in conjunction with flocculants for optimum effect.

Algae treatment products

Algae can quickly become a problem in a swimming pool. Anti-algae products can be used to prevent and treat infestations:

Preventive algicides They are used regularly to prevent the formation of algae. They are available in liquid or granulated form.

Curative algicides The most powerful, they are used to eliminate existing algae. They work quickly and are effective against various strains of algae.

Having a swimming pool is great, but not maintaining and equipping it sucks!
