All PoolFIX products are manufactured with meticulous knowledge to meet the highest standards for use in your swimming pool application. We strive for convenience and speed so we can quickly help you with the right materials. PoolFIX products contribute to a safe swimming environment.

The use of stainless steel fasteners is prohibited. By providing carbon steel bolts, screws and nuts with the right surface treatment, it guarantees the most reliable fastening solution. The fasteners you receive come with PoolFIX® certificate which can easily be included in your administration.

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.

5th generation coated carbon steel fasteners. Suitable for above the waterline and in the chlorine room.

PoolFIX Coated

The use of stainless steel A1, A2, A4 or A5 (304/316) fasteners is prohibited due to susceptibility to stress corrosion. The best alternative for a durable connection is to choose PoolFIX fasteners. However, these coated articles are not resistant everywhere. In splash zones and below the waterline, material 1.4529 is used. PoolFIX supplies both materials with certificate so you are assured of a safe choice.

Special stainless steel for below the waterline and splash zones. Less susceptible to stress corrosion. Replace every 5 years.

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.

Since 2022, the Quality Assurance Act is in effect: stricter building supervision for new construction and renovation. If there are defects, the client can force the contractor to repair the errors. Even if the client discovers these errors later.

Quality Assurance Act

Metal suspension structures and fasteners in swimming pools

The NEN 9200:2025 replaces the earlier NPR 9200:2015 with a higher status as a full NEN standard. It specifies which metals are suitable for suspension structures and fasteners in indoor swimming pools. A2 and A4 grade stainless steel (304/316) is explicitly not permitted.

Operators of public swimming pools are responsible for establishing and periodically executing an inspection plan. The standard applies to both new construction and existing pools. All applied materials must be traceable and properly certified.

A partially threaded bolt only has thread on its final section; most of the shank is smooth. This allows two materials to be clamped together correctly.
