The BEVLOR Swimming Pool Kit Service

The BEVLOR Pool Kit Service is an absolutely new approach to pool installation that has been developed by Bluepools and will provide you with:

• The highest performance pool on the French market - the ARConWall Pool
• At Best Value (BEV)
• At Lowest Risk (LOR)

How does BEVLOR work?

It is very simple.

You buy an ARCOnWall pool installation kit from us and we provide you with:

• A massive amount of information that turns you into an ARConWall pool expert overnight including a very detailed fully illustrated pool installation manual that you and / or your own builder can follow with ease
• A set of detailed construction drawings
• A Tool based on Microsoft Excel Software that you can easily personalize and use to get a detailed Estimate from your own builder for the installation of the pool kit (or too see how long it will take to do it yourself)
• A Pro-forma Contract based on Microsoft Word software that you can easily personalize (Add your name and address etc.) for use as the Contract between you and your builder and incorporating the Excel Estimate to define costs.
• A set of complete drawings and planning application documents (based on your own cadastral plan that will have been provided to us at the time of kit purchase) that you simply copy and post to your Mairie for your planning application and that your installation contractor will use during pool construction
• Delivery of the ARConWall pool polystyrene blocks to your site in France by Luke or Will as soon as your builder has completed the pool excavation - we will advise immediately on the adequacy of the proposed founding level soil strength and confirm our findings by an Emailed report
• Delivery of the pool liner and pool filtration plant when the pool is ready for filling by Luke or Will Witt - we will inspect the liner for defects, help install it and advise immediately on the quality of workmanship in the pool structure. and provide a snagging list by an Emailed report the next day
• Attendance at the pool site following your advice that the pool is ready for commissioning - we will help your builder commission the pool, train you in its operation, advise immediately on the quality of workmanship etc. and provide a snagging list by an Emailed report the next day
• Lifetime access to the Bluepools help line that will provide access to Will or Luke Witt from 8 am to 6 pm from Monday to Friday.

Why is it Best Value?

Because:

• The ARConWall pool kits are very competitively priced
• All the building work will be carried out by local people and travelling / accommodation costs will be minimised - or you can DIY!
• You will not be paying for the high overhead costs of a professional pool installation company that includes advertising, vehicle fuel and running costs, directors salaries and the social security payments on them and most importantly the 20% overhead of TVA!
• Building companies work at lower profit mark-ups than pool installation companies because the business overheads are spread over a lot more people - so their workers are cheaper
• And last but most importantly you will be the proud owner of the highest performance pool available on the French market!

Why is it Lowest Risk?

There are three sorts of risk:-

• The Risk that you will lose your money because the pool installer runs off with it or goes bust - this is unfortunately all to common at the moment
• The Risk that the pool will be of poor Quality.
• The Risk that the pool installer will start late and take months to do the work.

In the BEVLOR process the amount of your money paid out on advance payments will be reduced to a minimum because:

• Your deposit payment for the kit will be 20% of the kit cost + TVA - not 20% of the whole professional pool installation cost + TVA!
• You pay upfront for only 50% of the balance of the kit cost and the kit cost is about 25% of the cost of a professional pool installation. In other words the amount of cash at risk never exceeds about 10% of the total pool cost and so your money is not sat at risk for months in the account of a pool installation company.
• You pay your builder after he has carried out the work - not upfront as with most pool installation contracts

Your risk that the pool will be of poor Quality will be reduced to a minimum because:

• The ARConWall pool kits provide the highest performance pool currently available on the French market
• We will hold your hand every step of the way to make sure that your builder performs - if he does not you do not pay him until he has put things right
• We will always be available by phone or visit to get you or your builder back on track if you get into difficulties
• If there is any structural problem with your pool we will visit the site, report on the problem and help you get your pool builder to put it right under the guarantees

Your risk that the pool will be installed late because the pool installer is delayed on previous projects will be reduced to a minimum because:

• You are using your own builder or it is DIY - in either case you are in control

The BEVLOR Service

The Benefits that a Bluepools Kit will provide

Benefits provided

The biggest benefit provided by the bluepools kit is that you will be installing a swimming pool that is exactly the same as those that we install under our "Built for Life" motto.

The kit itself is also a lot simpler to understand and install than one of the modular panel kits that often involve literally hundreds of parts that have to be bolted together on the correct sequence. The polystyene blocks that provide the insulated pool walls are very simple to put together - just like Lego in fact!

The only difficult built is the hard work involved in pouring the concrete into the hollow polystyrene block wall - but this can be carried out over as many days (or weekends) as you like!

What does the kit include?

Kit contents

The kits include every single thing that you need to build a pool with a square Roman End except for the materials for making the concrete and screed.

Pool Specification

The pool specification is the same as is provided under the 6 Week Pool Service here

6 Week Pool

Roman End

The Roman End is a massive 3m wide x 1.5 m deep and provides 3 No 500mm wide steps that adults can laze on while your young children play on the steps. It is covered by reinforced non-slip liner that feels very good to sit on and is also very durable.

Instruction Manual

You will receive the detailed fully illustrated instruction manual in the form of an Ebook after we have received your deposit so that your builder can price the cost of installing the pool.

Pool Components

The pool components are of the same high quality that we use in all the pools that we build ourselves and you also receive cleaning and maintenance equipment as well as the chemicals for commissioning the pool and getting it ready for that first swim!

The pool filtration system provides the best water quality and standard of hygene available in a French supplied swimming pool. Please look at this web-page Pool Sanitation for more information on pool sanitation and hygiene.

Built for Life Quality

When it is finished you shouldl have a Bluepool that will last a lifetime in accordance with our motto "Built for Life"

What are the costs involved?

Costs include ARConWall slab costs

The total cost of the pools are shown in the following table and they include for sufficient concrete and reinforcement to provide a 1 m wide concrete slab around 3 sides of the pool and 3 metres at the Roman End to provide the "ARConWAll" support to the top of the pool walls.

Approximate total pool costs

The approximate total costs of a pool built in this way are shown in the following table. These are of course budget figures because they depend on the prices from your builder and builders merchant.

These vary depending on location remoteness, local competition and the department where you are located. Ready mixed concrete can normally be purchased for 100 euros per cube or less and then all you need are plenty of friends to pour it for you.

The digging should cost less than 1000 euros. But if you do it yourself with a mini-digger a 2.75 tonne machine will be adequate in most materials except rock and the excavation should take no more than two days. The hire cost of such a machine should be less than 500 euros for two days including delivery and collection.

Pool Kit Prices

The following table gives an idea of the pool kit costs and the cost of the completed pool if your labour costs are 150 Euros per day.

If you are going to DIY the pool then the costs in the "Installation Cost Estimate" column should be subtracted from the Total Estimated Cost.

Notes on the pool kit costs

The costs of the paving flags that can be laid on the concrete slabs around the pool and the safety device to stop children from drowning as required by French law are the only costs that are not included. You can float off the surface of the concrete and seal it if you do not want to find additional money for the paving flags. They can be laid at any time in the future.

If the pool is built in accordance with our instruction book you will have a pool of the same strength as those built professionably by us. The standard of finish is of course in your hands but all the processes are simple and straightforward.

Guarantees

If the reports that we provide during our visits state that the pool has been built in accordance with our standards and specifications, the following guarantees will apply:-

• We guarantee the design of the pool structure against any movement or settlement caused by ground subsidence or water pressure during your lifetime. If you tell us there is a major problem we will arrive on site to inspect the problem within 7 days and will undertake the remedial works within 90 days.
• We guarantee to repair all the faults in any pool equipment that we install free of charge within one year of pool commissioning, within 20 working days.
• We guarantee to replace any defective parts that were part of the pool kit for 1 year after pool commissioning on a "Return to Bluepools" basis.
• We guarantee that we will provide the design and parts for a water treatment system that will filter the whole volume of the water in the pool in 6 to 8 hours (depending on the system settings) and keep the water level constant to ensure that your pool water is healthy and safe to swim in at all times.

What other components might be useful?

You might consider the following. The prices for these in the Kit Estimate Tool include on site installation by Bluepools;

• A fully automatic liquid chlorine and Ph control unit that keeps the pool water quality to an optimum level (these are plumbed in by us as they are quite complicated)
• A salt based chlorinator
• A heat pump (installed by us to maintain the warranties)
• A robot to clean the pool
• A solar heated shower and automatic pool water top-up
• A button operated pool cover that acts as winter cover, summer cover and safety device and is relatively cheap when the cost of the winter and summer covers as well as the safety device are off-set against the purchase price.
