They can withstand fluctuations from very cold to very warm water temperatures without becoming too brittle or deformed.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, there are risks that can arise if the water is either too cold or too hot.<\/p>\n<p>If the temperature is too cold, the film can become stiff and tear more easily under pressure.<\/p>\n<p>If the temperature is too high, however, the film can become soft and stretch, which can also lead to damage.<\/p>\n<p>To mitigate these risks, I made sure that the water temperature in my pool was always kept within a safe range.<\/p>\n<p>An automated heating system helps to regulate the temperature and avoid extreme fluctuations.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, a pool cover protects the water from direct sunlight, which could greatly increase the temperature and affect the liner.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<div class=\"atkp-container atkp-productbox-box  atkp-template-productbox\">\n                        <div class=\"atkp-box atkp-clearfix \"\n                 style=\"\">\n                <div class=\"atkp-predicateheadline atkp-predicate-highlight\">\n                    <span><\/span><\/div>\n                <div class=\"atkp-thumb\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"atkp-image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41LGEbin4rL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Poolfolie Oval 623 x 360 x 150 cm I SonaLiner I 0,8 mm I blau I Ovalpool 6,23 x 3,6 x 1,5 m\" title=\"\">\n                                                                                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"atkp-content\">\n                    <a class=\"atkp-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B00HWRNW9K?tag=wwwcommaikde-21&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"ga(&#039;send&#039;, &#039;event&#039;, &#039;Link (productbox, Amazon commaik-21)&#039;, &#039;click&#039;, &#039; (Converting a pool &#8211; dismantling an old steel wall pool)&#039;);\" title=\"Jetzt kaufen bei Amazon\">Poolfolie Oval 623 x 360 x 150 cm I SonaLiner I 0,8 mm I blau I Ovalpool 6,23 x 3,6 x 1,5 m*<\/a>\n                    <div class=\"atkp-author\">by Saxonica<\/div>\n\n                    \n                    <div class=\"atkp-description\"><ul>\n<li>\u2705 HOCHWERTIGES MATERIAL: Diese Poofolie Rund f\u00fcr Rundpools ist aus strapazierf\u00e4higem und langlebigem Kunststoff gefertigt.

In the summer of 2020, small air bubbles formed between the pool liner and the steel shell. I hardly noticed it at first. But within just a few weeks, the bubbles got bigger and bigger.<\/p>\n<p>After 2 months, real wrinkles had formed on the edges and bottom. I could not push these out either.<\/p>\n<p>After some research, there were several possible causes for this damage. Too high water temperatures in the pool and incorrect application of pool chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>The pool liner we used only had an approval up to 28\u00b0C permanent water temperature. This is probably true for 95% of all pool liners. However, our pool heater regulates the temperature only at 30\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>The temperature in the pool was thus above the allowed 28\u00b0C for weeks and months.<\/p>\n<p>Also, due to the higher temperatures, I had increased the addition of chlorine. The values were measured weekly and the chlorine content in the water was adjusted.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the film manufacturer stated that the chlorine level was too high as the cause of the total loss.<\/p>\n<p>What should we do now? The foil bag can be replaced without any problems &#8211; as long as you also replace all seals for skimmers, inlet nozzles and LED spotlights. This is because these components have to be dismantled when the film is changed.<\/p>\n<p>I also had to completely change the inlet nozzles because they were glued to the supply lines behind the steel wall.

After a long search, I got stuck with a K\u00e4rcher exchange pump.<\/p>\n<p>This submersible pump is capable of pumping 14,000 liters per hour up to a height of 9 meters (9bar).For me, however, the decisive factor is the ability to pump up to a water level of only 1mm.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the small and compact design and the maintenance-free float &#8211; it is only two contact pins &#8211; the pump should later find its <a href=\"https:\/\/commaik.de\/2021\/01\/keller-trockenlegen-pumpensumpf-sickerschacht-selber-bauen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">use in my pump sump<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The pump was connected to a 38mm pool hose and the first 4 to 5m\u00b3 were pumped out very quickly. But the last centimeter took another good hour.<\/p>\n<p>But the pump really cleared the pool liner of water down to the last millimeter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-20625 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_2-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"253\" height=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_2-scaled-253x253.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"A yellow and white K\u00e4rcher SP 6 Flat Inox pump box on a wicker surface with product image, features, technical data, accessories and warranty details - ideal for pool maintenance or remodeling projects. www.commaik.de\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_2-scaled-253x253.jpg 253w, https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_2-scaled-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_2-scaled-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 253px) 100vw, 253px\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_3-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"253\" height=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_3-scaled-253x253.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"A K\u00e4rcher SP 6 Flat Inox submersible pump is displayed on an outdoor table, along with its box, several removable parts and pool accessories.

In order to remove the pool liner, these two built-in parts had to be dismantled beforehand as well, of course.<\/p>\n<p>The skimmer collects the water in the pool and directs it to the pump through a flex pipe. I first loosened the connector fitting from the pipe to the skimmer with the flex wrench and then rebuilt the pipe.<\/p>\n<p>The skimmer frame is protected on the inside by a screen. This bezel must be removed very carefully as it is very fragile.<\/p>\n<p>The corners of the bezel are fixed with small lugs in the corners of the frame. However, you can pry the frame out with a small screwdriver.<\/p>\n<p>The screws are located under the cover frame. The screws go through the steel wall into the skimmer. They hold and fix the skimmer. With 3 seals, the watertight transition to the pool liner is made.<\/p>\n<p>After removing the screws, the skimmer can be removed with a little effort.<\/p>\n<p>The LED underwater spotlight is removed in the same way. First, the headlight is removed from the lamp pot. By loosening the two screws on the side, this is relatively easy.<\/p>\n<p>After all, I winterized the headlight in this way every fall.<\/p>\n<p>After removing the two seals for the cable, I was able to remove the lamp body completely. Now the screws of the mounting niche were removed here as well and I could take out the lamp pot.<\/p>\n<p>While the steel wall by the inlet nozzles was absolutely fine, rust had formed on the skimmer and the LED underwater spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>I did use zinc spray on the edges when installing the skimmer and lamp. But still water came up to the steel shell.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the rusting was visually severe, but the steel shell was still in very good condition.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id='gallery-5' class='gallery galleryid-20625 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_29-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"253\" height=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_29-scaled-253x253.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"A white metal surface with two recesses - like a pool surround - has a rectangular hole at the top and a round hole at the bottom, both of which are framed by welded edges and rust stains. www.commaik.de\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_29-scaled-253x253.jpg 253w, https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_29-scaled-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_29-scaled-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 253px) 100vw, 253px\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_30-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"253\" height=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/commaik.de\/upload\/2021\/03\/Stahlwandpool_abbauen_Skimmer_Einlaufduese_Lampe_Poolfolie_entfernen_30-scaled-253x253.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Close-up of a metal surface with several drilled holes, visible rust along the edge and a piece of stained tape on the right side - possibly remnants of a recent rebuild.

At the bottom the steel wall is in the guide rail and at the top it is fixed by the handrail.<\/p>\n<p>On the long sides, I bolted the steel wall to the support walls. Thus, the wall has the necessary stability.<\/p>\n<p>The two ends of the steel wall are held together with a connecting rail. I had knocked these in with a sledgehammer during assembly. Accordingly, the expansion of this rail was more than costly.<\/p>\n<p>I first levered the rail up with a crowbar &#8211; as far as it would go. Then I placed a metal wedge between the two steel wall ends and under the wedge.<\/p>\n<p>I then hit this wedge from below with a hammer.<\/p>\n<p>In the millimeter range, I was able to knock out the rail upwards.

I used an automated heating system and a pool cover to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer of 2020, however, excessively high water temperatures and incorrect handling of the pool chemicals led to air bubbles and creases forming in the pool liner.<\/p>\n<p>The repair costs, including the replacement of the inlet nozzles and other connections, would have amounted to around 1000 euros.<\/p>\n<p>I therefore decided to dismantle the old steel wall pool and build a new pool with the existing reinforced walls, which would be more durable and robust.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to replace the old steel wall pool with a pool made of formwork stones was primarily due to the fact that the existing walls could be used, resulting in a more stable and durable pool structure<\/p>\n<p>Dismantling the old pool involved emptying the pool with a powerful submersible pump, removing the pool liner and the steel wall, and dismantling the inlet nozzles and the LED underwater spotlight.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_on_dismantling_the_steel_wall_pool\"><\/span>FAQ on dismantling the steel wall pool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. why was the steel wall pool dismantled?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe pool had damage to the pool liner caused by excessively high water temperatures and incorrect handling of the pool chemicals. Instead of repairing the pool liner and built-in parts, it was decided to replace the pool with a more stable pool made of concrete formwork.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. what were the causes of the damage to the pool liner?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe pool liner developed air bubbles and wrinkles, which were due to excessively high water temperatures (over 28\u00b0C) and increased chlorine levels. The pool was heated to 30\u00b0C, which exceeded the load limit of the liner and caused the damage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. what steps were taken to dismantle the steel wall pool?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe dismantling included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Emptying the pool with a powerful submersible pump.<\/li>\n<li>Removal of the pool liner, inlet nozzles, skimmer and LED underwater spotlight.<\/li>\n<li>Dismantling the steel wall and removing the connecting rail.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>4. how was the water drained from the pool?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe water was pumped out with a special submersible pump, which was able to pump down to a water level of 1 mm. This enabled the pool to be emptied almost completely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. what had to be taken into account when removing the inlet nozzles?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe inlet nozzles were sealed by several seals and connected via flex pipes, which were partially glued. In order to remove the nozzle from the steel wall, the pipe had to be sawn through as the fitting did not fit through the hole.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. what difficulties were encountered when removing the steel wall?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe steel wall was heavy and unwieldy. It was bolted to the long sides and fixed in place with a connecting rail. Loosening the heavily rusted screws and removing the connecting rail proved to be difficult and time-consuming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. what was the cause of the rust on the steel wall?<\/strong><br \/>\nRust mainly formed around the skimmer and the LED underwater spotlight, where moisture was able to penetrate to the steel wall. The affected areas were treated with zinc spray, but the steel casing was still susceptible to corrosion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. what are the advantages of the new stone wall pool compared to the old steel wall pool?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe new pool made of concrete formwork blocks offers greater stability and durability than the original steel wall pool. The existing walls could be reused, which shortened the construction time and saved costs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. can the old steel wall be reused elsewhere?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, the steel wall was carefully dismantled, rolled up and secured so that it could be used again at another location.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. where can the entire conversion process be followed?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe entire pool conversion process is documented on my YouTube channel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/commaik\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">COMMAIK<\/a>, including the dismantling of the steel wall and the construction of the new pool.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"atkp-container atkp-productbox-box  atkp-template-productbox\">\n                        <div class=\"atkp-box atkp-clearfix \"\n                 style=\"\">\n                <div class=\"atkp-predicateheadline atkp-predicate-highlight\">\n                    <span><\/span><\/div>\n                <div class=\"atkp-thumb\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"atkp-image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41z2ppS7esL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"K&auml;rcher SP 17.000 Flat Level Sensor flachsaugende Tauchpumpe\" title=\"\">\n                                                                                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"atkp-content\">\n                    <a class=\"atkp-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B0BXY7PXSY?tag=wwwcommaikde-21&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"ga(&#039;send&#039;, &#039;event&#039;, &#039;Link (productbox, Amazon commaik-21)&#039;, &#039;click&#039;, &#039; (Converting a pool &#8211; dismantling an old steel wall pool)&#039;);\" title=\"Jetzt kaufen bei Amazon\">K&auml;rcher SP 17.000 Flat Level Sensor flachsaugende Tauchpumpe*<\/a>\n                    <div class=\"atkp-author\">by K&auml;rcher<\/div>\n\n                    \n                    <div class=\"atkp-description\"><ul>\n<li>Leistungsstarke Pumpe: Die flachsaugende Tauchpumpe SP 17.000 Flat Level Sensor bew\u00e4ltigt bis zu 17.000 Liter Wasser pro Stunde und ist ideal f\u00fcr gr\u00f6\u00dfere Wassermengen wie Pools oder \u00dcberschwemmungen<\/li>\n<li>Wischtrockenes Ergebnis: Die Pumpe kommt dank der einklappbaren Standf\u00fc\u00dfe auf eine Restwasserh\u00f6he von 1 mm \u2013 egal, ob sie im Automatik- oder im Dauerbetrieb arbeitet<\/li>\n<li>Stufenlos verstellbarer Level Sensor: Die Tauchpumpe startet sofort bei Wasserkontakt und stoppt nach 15-sek\u00fcndiger Nachlaufzeit, wenn der gew\u00fcnschte Wasserstand erreicht ist<\/li>\n<li>Einfache Umstellung: An der Oberseite des Edelstahlgeh\u00e4uses befindet sich ein Schalter, mit dem ganz leicht zwischen Dauer- und Automatikbetrieb gewechselt werden kann<\/li>\n<li>Lieferumfang: Zum Set geh\u00f6ren die K\u00e4rcher SP 17.000 Flat Level Sensor flachsaugende Tauchpumpe, ein abnehmbarer Edelstahl-Vorfilter und ein Quick Connect-Schlauchanschluss mit R\u00fcckschlagventil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"atkp-bottom\">\n                                            <span class=\"atkp-price atkp-listprice\"><\/span>\n                                                                <span class=\"atkp-price atkp-savedamount\"><\/span>\n                                                                <span class=\"atkp-price atkp-saleprice\">\n                            &nbsp;Price: &euro; 122.60\n                                                            <span class=\"atkp_price atkp-baseprice\"><\/span>\n                                                    <\/span>\n                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B0BXY7PXSY?tag=wwwcommaikde-21&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"ga(&#039;send&#039;, &#039;event&#039;, &#039;Link (productbox, Amazon commaik-21)&#039;, &#039;click&#039;, &#039; (Converting a pool &#8211; dismantling an old steel wall pool)&#039;);\" title=\"Jetzt kaufen bei Amazon\" class=\"atkp-button\">Jetzt auf Amazon kaufen*<\/a>\n                                        <div class=\"atkp-container\"><\/div>\n                                            <span class=\"atkp-priceinfo\">Preis inkl.

The oval pool has a size of 6.23 x 3.60 x 1.5 meters. The almost 30 m\u00b3 of water is heated to a pleasant 30\u00b0C automatically and weather-controlled via a solar system. The pool was built on a solid concrete base plate. On the sides, 2 walls of concrete formwork support the sides of the pool. I had shuttered the curves and also filled them with concrete. This pool is now being dismantled. I am building a new pool from concrete formwork blocks at this point. In this article, I write about the removal of the old steel wall. I show the rusty weak points of the steel wall which I discovered during dismantling and I describe how the wall can be removed so that it can be used again at another location without any problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27397,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3647,3533,3532,3575,3530],"tags":[3853,3535,3851,3818,3849,3844,3848,3846,3845,3857,3852,3859,3855,3700,3701,3854,3856,3860,3858,3850,3816,3817,3847],"class_list":["post-20625","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-pool","category-restoration-and-working-techniques","category-stories-from-the-construction","category-the-garden","category-the-house","tag-change-pool-liner","tag-commaik-en-2","tag-install-skimmer","tag-installation-steel-wall-pool-oval","tag-oval-steel-wall-pool-construction","tag-pool-construction","tag-pool-construction-time-lapse","tag-pool-construction-with-formwork-stones","tag-pool-ideas-en","tag-pool-ideas-for-backyards-en","tag-pool-liner","tag-pool-liner-hang-up","tag-pool-liner-repair","tag-pool-remodel","tag-pool-remodel-ideas","tag-renew-pool-liner","tag-repair-pool","tag-replace-inlet-nozzle","tag-skimmer-install-german","tag-skimmer-installation-steel-wall-pool","tag-steel-wall-pool-oval","tag-steel-wall-pool-oval-in-ground","tag-steel-wall-pool-oval-partially-sunken"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/commaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/commaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/commaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/commaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/commaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commaik.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
