PoolFIX coated is the primary PoolFIX system for approximately 95% of suitable applications. This market position never replaces product-specific validation.

When no validated product/application rule matches, the result is Technical review required.

Why PoolFIX coated?

Traditional tilework versus ACRATON® Dolphin

Most assemblies are assembled using bolts, nuts and screws. When these fasteners are the weakest link, they will fail prematurely. Because it is difficult to apply thick protective layers, high-tech surface treatments are used. PoolFIX® 5th generation fasteners are specifically developed for swimming pool applications.

Application

Generate your own specification text for safe fastening materials in swimming pools. This generator produces a professional and legally substantiated specification in which the correct PoolFIX materials are prescribed based on zone classification.

This specification explicitly prohibits the use of stainless steel 301/304/316/A2/A4/A5, Duplex/Super Duplex, and (hot-dip / electrolytically) galvanised steel. The contractor bears responsibility if a different material is chosen.

Stainless steel 301/304/316/A2/A4/A5, DUPLEX, SUPER DUPLEX and 1.4462 materials are not permitted in swimming pool atmospheres. Their use can lead to rejection, corrosion, falling parts, and liability.

Support for your specification

A2 and A4 are considered corrosion-resistant materials in many general construction and installation applications. A swimming-pool hall, however, is an exceptional environment in which chloride load and tensile stresses can lead to stress corrosion cracking.

‘But it’s stainless steel, isn’t it?’ is not a material justification in a swimming pool.

For everyone who must be able to justify material choices in a swimming pool.

Material safety in swimming-pool environments

Are you sure the right material has been applied in every location?

Do not use 1.4529 as a universal replacement for A2/A4 or other materials at arbitrary locations in a swimming-pool environment. Material selection must always fit within the official PoolFIX application guideline and the project-specific circumstances.

PoolFIX guideline for 1.4529 HCR

Even highly alloyed stainless steel is not entirely risk-free.

Stainless steel can fail in a swimming pool without warning.

The right question is: which material belongs in this specific location?

The displayed risk percentages are based on research by PoolFIX in collaboration with Koninklijke BAM, carried out for the municipality of Tilburg.

In the PoolFIX research, common stainless steel such as A2/304 and A4/316 showed very high susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking under the investigated swimming-pool conditions.

1.4529 HCR also proved not to be completely immune to stress corrosion cracking. That is why PoolFIX applies a limited application guideline for this material.

A coated fastening system specially developed for swimming-pool applications, for suitable locations and exposure zones.

Research findings make the residual risk visible.

From general fastening to demonstrable material selection.

General approach

PoolFIX approach

After an incident, can you demonstrate why this material was selected?

That is why material selection in a swimming-pool environment must be based on application, exposure and demonstrable suitability — not only on the term ‘stainless steel’.

The danger is not always visible from the outside.

Applicable requirements depend on the project country, authority and technical specification. No standard automatically approves a PoolFIX product.

Standards, codes and guidance

Not automatically applicable as UK or US law

NEN 9200 (Dutch technical reference — local applicability requires validation) is a Dutch standard and does not automatically approve a product or establish local law outside the Netherlands.

The responsible project team must establish applicable local requirements and product-specific application validation.
