There are many different types of pools out there, and knowing the basics of structure and filtration can help you make an educated decision. There are two types of structures – heavy and light. A heavy structure pool includes concrete/gunite, whereas light structure pools include fiberglass, vinyl, wood, steel, and above ground. While the light structure pools cost less, their durability is questionable. Desjoyaux Pools are a heavy structure (concrete reinforced walls and floor), but are finished with a vinyl liner to give the interior of the pool softness and appeal.

Another important factor in choosing a pool is the type of filtration system used. Traditional pools use a significant amount of underground piping which runs underground from the pool to the pump and filter, often located near the home. This can cause issues related to pipes leaking and freezing, and are often not very energy-efficient. The Desjoyaux Pools system is very unique in that no underground piping is used. The filtration system is built right by the pool, flush with the deck. This improves efficiency significantly, as well as relieves the pool owner of potential problems related to leaks and freezing pipes. Where a normal pump uses 9-11 amps, the Desjoyaux pump runs on only 2 amps! The Desjoyaux filtration system also eliminates the need for backwashing the pool!

Overall, Desjoyaux Pools are created to last a lifetime while eliminating much of the maintenance associated with traditional pools! Call us today for a free home consultation: 770-225-0825.
