At Desjoyaux Pools, we understand that building a swimming pool is a significant investment, and our goal is to provide solutions that offer long-term value, efficiency, and ease of maintenance. One of our most groundbreaking innovations is the Pipe-Free Filtration System, a technology that has revolutionised pool construction and maintenance since its inception in 1983.
Unlike traditional swimming pool filtration systems that rely on extensive underground piping and separate plant rooms, our pipe-free system integrates all essential components—pump, filter, and lighting—directly into the pool structure. This design not only simplifies installation but also enhances the overall functionality and aesthetics of your pool.
How Pipe-Free Filtration Works
In traditional swimming pool construction, filtration is handled through an underground plumbing network. Water travels from the pool through pipelines to a distant filtration plant room where it's cleaned, then pumped back in. This process:
- Is expensive and time-consuming to build
- Involves maintenance headaches (blockages, leaks, wear)
- Requires additional space for the pump and plant room
- Worst of all—when problems occur, repairs are messy and costly
Desjoyaux's Pipe-Free Filtration System flips this model entirely.
Our pipe-free filtration system is inspired by marine outboard motors, ensuring efficient water circulation without the need for complex plumbing. Here's how it functions:
- Integrated Skimmer Unit: Water is drawn into the built-in skimmer placed directly on the pool wall.
- Filter & Pump Integration: The water is filtered through a reusable, high-performance filtration bag—no sand, no cartridge replacements.
- Water Circulation: Once cleaned, water is returned to the pool through return jets—all in one compact, external wall-mounted unit.
This system is completely self-contained, eliminating the need for underground plumbing, separate plant rooms, and complex connections.
- Water Intake: Pool water is drawn into the system through a built-in skimmer.
- Filtration: The water passes through a high-efficiency filter bag, capturing debris and impurities.
- Water Return: Clean water is then returned to the pool via strategically placed discharge nozzles, ensuring even distribution.
This closed-loop system eliminates the need for underground pipes and external filtration rooms, reducing the risk of leaks and simplifying maintenance.

Key Advantages Over Traditional Filtration
- No Underground Piping = No Headaches
Pipes are the heart of traditional pool systems—and also their weakest point. Underground pipelines are vulnerable to:
- Tree root damage
- Soil shifts
- Corrosion & wear
- Leakage, clogs, and pressure loss
Desjoyauxpools removes this dependency entirely. No buried pipelines = fewer points of failure. It's the definition of low-risk, high-performance engineering.
- Faster, Cleaner Construction
Building a swimming pool can be a long, messy process. But with Desjoyaux, it's clean, quick, and intelligent. By eliminating the need to trench for pipes or allocate space for a plant room, our system:
- Cuts construction time by up to 50%
- Reduces labor and civil work costs
- Minimizes disruption to the site
- Allows for flexible installation even on terraces, rooftops, and compact spaces
For contractors and architects, this is a massive time-saver. For homeowners, it means a faster handover—and a lot less stress.
- Easy Maintenance & Long-Term Durability
Traditional systems are complex. When something goes wrong, you're dealing with:
- Hidden leaks
- Excavation to locate issues
- Separate servicing of pumps and filters
With Desjoyaux, your entire filtration system is above-ground and accessible. The filter bag can be removed and cleaned in under a minute. The pump, housed in a waterproof casing, is easy to inspect and replace if needed.
We use marine-grade components and UV-resistant materials, ensuring that your filtration unit stands up to Indian summers, monsoons, and daily wear.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Benefits
Being future-ready means building responsibly. Our pipe-free filtration system isn't just efficient—it's green.
Here's how:
- Recycled Polypropylene Walls: The structural panels of every Desjoyaux tiles free pool are made from recycled plastics, reducing our carbon footprint.
- Efficient Water Use: Our filtration system minimizes water wastage. You only need to change water every 5 years, compared to traditional systems that require more frequent top-ups.
- Energy Saving: The integrated system uses smaller pumps that require less electricity than centralised setups.
- Chemical Efficiency: Because the circulation is consistent and localized, chemicals distribute more evenly—so you use less.
This is why our pools are preferred not just by homeowners, but by eco-conscious architects, schools, and hospitality brands across India.
Long-Term Durability of Pipeless Pool Filtration Systems
One of the most common questions we get is, "What about the lifespan?"
Here's what you need to know:
- Our PVC liner + casing system lasts 20+ years
- Filter units come with 10-year structural warranties
- No corrosion risks from saltwater or harsh chemicals
- No expensive refurbishments due to broken pipes or cracked plant rooms
- Our clients rarely face major repair costs because the system is engineered to last.
Why It's Convenient for Pool Builders
Let's talk B2B.
If you're a pool contractor, builder, or real estate developer, Desjoyaux's system is your dream solution. Here's why:
- Plug-and-play filtration unit—no plumbing contractor needed
- Repeatable, modular construction process
- Cleaner job sites with less waste
- Faster handover, happier clients
- Easier AMC contracts (clean the filter, check the pump, done!)
And yes, we offer full support for our partners across India.
