 |  | Skypool Commercial Pools is the range of pre-fabricated pools from AstralPool for public swimming pools. Skypool Commercial Pools feature a hot galvanised steel panel structure which allows both above ground and in-ground, fixed or suspended pools to be rapidly installed, whatever their shape or size, in only 3 weeks. The wide selection of models and variable features in the Skypool Commercial Pools range allows them to be totally adaptable to any existing infrastructure, such as stadiums, sports centres or other venues for all manner of pool events. Our pools also allow fixed infrastructures to be created in any premises such as, for example, spas, hotels, acuaparks etc. Skypool Commercial Pools can be adapted to all the necessities required of a public pool with custom designed solutions for all needs. All the materials and components we use have been designed and selected in accordance with 3 basic principles: Durability, reliability and sustainability. The end result is a highly competitive product, both technically and economically speaking. Skypool pool assembly is based on a panel system which forms the structure of the pool, allowing perfect shaping and counteracting the mechanical forces of the pool water. All panels are covered in a fully waterproof liner which ensures the perfect watertightness of the pool shell. This construction method allows your pool to be ready for use in record time, with the maximum reliability and guarantees the market can offer. |

incorporated in order to obtain the highest possible levels of
quality, usability and durability in all the pool’s components.
The metallic structure carries a 20 year guarantee.
Optimum reliability
The use of the best possible components, along with the totally
safe assembly system is the best guarantee of the optimum
reliability that is required for pools of this sort. |
Environmental sustainability
All the components used are 100% recyclable, non-contaminating
and manufactured in such a way as to cause minimum
environmental impact.
The best possible investment
No complex infrastructure is necessary in order to have a
pool of the highest possible characteristics at the lowest
possible cost. |

The individual elements
Each set comprises mainly of the panel system which makes
up the body of the pool, an overflow channel and corner
strengtheners.
The panels, the wall of the pool
These panels are comprised of 2 mm thick hot galvanised
steel sheets, doubled-over for extra strength and reinforced
with corner and rib strengtheners.
The rigidity of the structure allows it to handle pool pressure
of up to 16,4 ft deep.
The overflow channel
This is situated near the top of each panel, and is riveted to
the stainless steel structure. The channel is also constructed
using 2 mm thick hot galvanised steel sheets and is totally
modular, thanks to the lateral tensors. These tensors also allow
for all the small variations in the level of the pool water,
ensuring perfect overflow around the edge of the pool.
Reinforced strengtheners
The reinforced strengtheners are also adjustable, allowing
perfect pool assembly down to the last millimetre.
- The lower strengthener allows the length and width of the pool
to be adjusted, whilst the side strengtheners adjust the tilt of the pool walls.
- The adjustment process can also be carried out when the pool
is full of water.
- The inbuilt safety system prevents any unwanted adjustment
of the pool tensor system. The strengtheners can only be
altered by using a special tool. Similarly, there are special
nuts on each strengthener.
The choice of steel and the high level of protection against
rusting are just two examples of the quality inherent in our
panels. For this reason, the company dedicates all the necessary
resources in order to always obtain steel of the very
highest quality.
Hot galvanization
The method used by AstralPool in order to protect the materials
used from rust is hot galvanisation. This is an innovative
process which is being applied for the first time to 2 mm
thick steel sheets, and consists of immersing the steel in
molten zinc baths at approximately 842º F.
Thanks to the working practices used, the type of steel selected
and the professionalism employed in the galvanisation
process, the deformation of the material as a result of stress
or temperature changes can be completely prevented. |

The best guarantee for perfect pool watertightness. Manufactured
from 150/100 reinforced PVC-P (plasticized poly-vinyl
chloride), this is the most commonly used material for covering
liner pools due to its flexibility, resistance to wear and
tear, easy application, resistance to fading as a result of UV
rays and the wide range of colours available.
The material is 100% recyclable.
Fitting the liner
The liner is fitted by thermally sealing the various pieces that
make up the pool surface until a perfectly watertight shell is
formed. When fitting the liner, it is important to start from
the outside of the overflow in order to avoid any water contact
whatsoever with the panel surface. In this way we can prevent
possible leakage as a result of structural movement or imperfect
joints. All accessories which are to be fitted in the pool
have a system of seals to ensure watertightness and prevent
any possible leakage. |
In all Skypool Commercial Pools, whatever their shape or size,
the return of filtered water can be fitted to either the side or
the floor of the pool.
We recommend that you install the system in the pool floor.
Thanks to this system, it is possible to ensure a perfect uniformity
of the physical and chemical water conditions, as the
return nozzles are evenly spaced around the pool.
In order to use the automatic water chemical regulation and
control system, it will also be necessary to install a suction
nozzle in pre-fabricated pools. |

Skypool Commercial Pools are designed to feature independent
panels which enable any shape or size of pool design to be
assembled. The mechanical force that the pool has to withstand
is equally distributed in each individual pool model.
Assembly consists of joining modules together until the required
pool shape is obtained.
As well as straight panels, we also offer curved models (EGO
panels) which allow free form pools of all sizes to be easily
constructed.

Fixed Skypool Commercial Pools:
a multi-use pool fixed to the ground
Standard Skypool Commercial Pools anchored to the previously
installed concrete slab via chemical plugs, can be adapted to
the needs of any installation.
According to your needs, you may choose between an above
ground or an in-ground pool. The selection of one option or
the other does not need modifications to either the assembly
method or the design of the panels or anchoring system. All
procedures and materials are fully compatible for both alternatives. |
Suspended Skypool Commercial Pools:
an adaptable and temporary pool
Skypool Commercial Pools allow existing infrastructures to be
used. Panels are mounted onto structures which are joined
via a longitudinal beam. In order to be able to withstand water
pressure, opposing blocks are connected via steel cables
which run length- and breadth-wise across the pool floor.
In order to fully conceal the cables, a raised floor or compacted
sand is installed. The final result is a perfectly level
and consistent slab onto which the liner can be fitted. As
the water fills the shell of the pool, the steel cables become
tighter, counteracting the pressure exerted by the water mass
on the pool structure. |

Constructing the concrete slab
In order to install a Skypool Commercial Pool you will need to
design a concrete slab the size of the pool and bear in mind the following
information in order to ensure perfect pool operability:
Concrete slab resistance
- This should be in accordance with the size and shape of
the pool, type of soil and local regulations.
- The pressure it will need to withstand will depend on the
type and volume of the pool. Skypool Commercial Pools are
supported by tensors, whose length and anchoring system
varies according to the pool type.
Installation of the plumbing
- If the pool is an anchored type and water recycling is via
the pool floor, the plumbing should be considered before
the concrete slab is constructed.
- However, in the case of suspended pools or those with side
mounted return nozzles, plumbing will not be necessary.
Levelling off the concrete slab and removing bumps
- For all pool types, anchored or suspended, unevenness of
the pool floor must not exceed 3,14", the maximum difference
permitted in order to be able to handle the regulation
and subsequent adjustments to the pool panels and overflow
system.
- In the case of anchored pools, the finishing off of the concrete
slab needs to be as near to absolutely level as possible
in order to ensure a perfectly uniform base for the
liner.
- In the case of suspended pools, the only requirement is
that the surface of the concrete slab is flat enough in order
to ensure structural stability. In this type of pool, the liner
rests upon a bed of compacted sand.
|
Assemble the overflow system. It is very important
that the joints between these pieces be as perfect as
possible. We recommend that you regularly check that
it is level.
|
Fit the liner. Starting at the overflow, follow the walls
down vertically, finishing on the floor of the concrete
slab, it order to ensure perfect watertightness.
|
Once the overflow system has been assembled, check
that it is level and all other pool measurements, and
finally tighten all screws. Install the safety tensors and
tighten the nuts.
|
Assemble the hydraulic circuit. In the case of conventional
filtration systems, connect all pipes, filters
and pumps.
 |
 Fill the pool using buckets, water hydrants etc. until the level of the overflow is reached and run a complete filtration cycle.
Install the pool surround.

Swimmer’s step
This allows the swimmer to be effortlessly supported above the
level of the water.
This is a very useful feature in multiuse pools and can be optionally
installed in pools with depths less than 2 m. For pools
of greater depth it is included in the panel.
Constructed from 2 mm thick galvanised steel, it is fixed directly
to the pool panel with stainless steel rivets. It is recommendable
that you fit non slip liner to the upper part of the step. |
 |
Movable floor
The moveable floor turns a single use pool into a multiuse
installation by allowing different depths to be set depending
on the desired pool activity. A submerged base acts as a pool
floor which is attached to hydraulic pistons which raise the
platform to the desired height. |
 |
Podium platforms
This is a platform upon which starter’s podiums can be mounted.It can
also be used as a turn panel or as the fixing point for lane ropes. |
 |
Movable wall
This structure is immersed vertically in the water, allowing it
to cross the pool, forming a solid barrier.
Thanks to this system, pool space can be optimised and divided
into separate areas for a number of different uses.
The movable wall structure is built from galvanised steel
and PVC slats. It is attached to two rails which are fitted to
the pool surround. The walls move manually along the rails,
whilst in the case of very large walls, they move with the assistance
of a reduction system with manual controls. |
 |
Ceramic overflow
The overflow system featured in Skypool Commercial Pools is Finnish.
Using just two ceramic pieces, a perfect finish is ensured
with both the overflow drain and the join to the wall panel. |

Filter Package Systems
The Nefrona Monobloc is a new concept in pool filtration,
designed and developed by AstralPool as the most innovative
system available on the market. The Nefrona is a compact,
transportable and modular filtration system.
Compact because all the elements are pre-assembled and
ready to use. In order to start up the system, you only need
to connect the water inlet and outlet and connect the system
to a power supply. |
Transportable because its reduced size means that it fits in
all standard containers. An assembled, economic filtration
system is now available anywhere in the world, with minimal
installation times and a fully inclusive factory guarantee.
Modular because it can be easily and quickly dismounted in
order to install it in areas where access is restricted. Once all
the modules are in place, they can be quickly re-assembled.
The monobloc filtration and control system is mounted on a
hot galvanised steel plate which protects against corrosion.
Compensation tanks, control boxes and regulation probes
may also be optionally added, as may automatic dosage systems
and many other options which make Nefrona the perfect
solution for filtration and chemical water treatment. |
