# PoolFIX® — Certified Pool Fastening Systems

> PoolFIX® (Pool FIX B.V.) is a Dutch B2B manufacturer and supplier of certified
> fastening articles for swimming pools — corrosion-safe bolts, nuts, screws and
> hanging hardware that comply with NEN 9200:2025, NPR 9200 and the Dutch Building
> Decree (Bouwbesluit / Bbl 2022). Every product ships with a traceable certificate.

## What we do

- Certified fasteners for swimming pools that do **not** suffer from stress
  corrosion cracking in chlorinated environments.
- Two product lines:
  - **PoolFIX® Coated** — 5th-generation coated carbon-steel bolts/screws/nuts for
    above-waterline and chlorine-room use.
  - **PoolFIX® 1.4529** — superaustenitic stainless steel (UNS N08926) for
    underwater and splash-zone use; replaces forbidden 304/316 (A2/A4) grades.
- **Arcraton Dolphin** premium concrete pool coating (since 1969, made in EU) —
  full-system pool renovation alternative to tiles, including an AI Pool Color
  Visualizer and 23-language native landing pages.

## Who we serve

- Installateurs (pool installers)
- Aannemers (contractors)
- Beheerders (pool operators / facility managers)
- Gemeenten (municipalities) running public swimming pools
- Across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Luxembourg, Austria,
  Switzerland and the wider EU.

## Why this matters

Since August 2025 the Dutch standard **NEN 9200:2025** replaces NPR 9200:2015
and bans the use of A2/A4 stainless steel (304/316) for fastenings in public
swimming pools because of stress-corrosion-cracking risk. PoolFIX® materials
are explicitly compliant. The Quality Assurance Act (Wet Kwaliteitsborging
voor het Bouwen / Wkb), in force since 2022, transfers more liability to
contractors, making certified, traceable fasteners commercially critical.
