UNIQUEMULTI-FLEX POLYMER WALL SYSTEM
After years of research and development, kafko has introduceda new generation of unique polymer inground pools on the
market. This new concept of flexible panels (patented) allows
the creation of endless shapes to better meet today’s consumer tastes.
Our award winning polymer panels are strong and durable.
Made of stable, non biodegradable polymer foams, greatly
increases the longevity of the pool. In addition the cellular
structure acts as a thermal screen withholding heat in the pool
and blocking the penetrating cold from surrounding soils.
Kafko’s patented MULTI-FLEX panel is made from 100% virgin,polypropylene non-corrosive material. This panel has a 4" top and bottomrail with a vertical rib running the height of the panel every 4". Double resinstrapping secures your MULTI-FLEX panel into place, maintaining a trueradius and added support. Although polymer pools have been available formany years, the one thing they have lacked is the ability to create newshapes. The MULTI-FLEX panel features patented live hinges which enable
you, along with the help of your dealer to choose from one of KAFKO’Smany shapes or create your own shape. Panel allows for wall/deck bracesupport every 3'. Kafko’s straight panel is made from 100% virgin, high impact, polystyrene resin. The top,
bottom and side rails of the panel is 4" wide, each panel is rigidized with vertical andhorizontal ribs. Three vertical ribs run the height of the panel and two of the ribs are doubled
up for the superior strength. The center vertical rib in the 6' panel allows for a wall/decksupport every 3'. Available in the industry standard panel height of 42" which gives you
3' water depth in the shallow end of the pool. This pool is also
available in 48" high panels allowing for 6" more water depth in theshallow end of the pool (3'6" water depth). The extra water depth isideal for flat bottom pool designs which have become more popular inrecent years, and 6" of extra water depth in hopper
design pools willincrease the comfort level for adults using the shallow end of the pool The 6' straight panels are engineered
with 2 designated cutouts for returnfittings. This area is reinforced with
a box rib support and premarked fordrilling. This ensures all returnfittings align at the same level.improving water circulation. Straight Polymer panels can be fitted with alarge 500 watt light using the premarked area.
This light area is also reinforced andaccurately positions the light to therecommended distance from the water line. The Kafko heavy duty wall brace system is designed to hold the pool
walls in place, giving maximum support. The convenient groundstakes secure the panels from any movement before the pouring ofconcrete. This guarantees a properly squared pool wall. The bracealso allows for the attachment of a sono tube which will help carrythe deck load and add strength to the overall pool structure. The panel is premolded for theEquator Skimmer with skimmersupport locator. This system
relieves pressure from theplumbing. The Equator Skimmeris the only skimmer sold with itsown skimmer support. Top and bottom
alignment tabs helpalign the wall panelscorrectly, which alsohelps maintain a levelwall during
construction. >
