If you are going to install in my house or on site with its own pool, you should consider, first, building regulations, so as not to hit underground utilities, and secondly, the cost of the event: not only direct the pool, but the equipment and chemicals for water.
Swimming is not recommended to do too deep, if you’re not going to dive into it with a springboard dive or scuba diving. Depths of 1.5 m is enough for swimming adult. Form swimming pool can also be varied, but one must bear in mind that the pool of irregular shape is difficult to filter the water, yes, and very difficult to make a bowl, and it immediately affect the price. Experience shows that the rectangular pool can blend in with the surrounding landscape.
Next, should decide where in the pool will be located. At a public swimming pool area is easier and cheaper to mount, the moisture will not accumulate in the surrounding space, but the installation strongly depends on the composition of the soil, but in winter such a pool should be inhibited. Swimming pool in the garden should be placed away from deciduous trees and a playground. Indoor pool easier to maintain, can be used all year round, but in this case requires additional devices, hobs, extractor, as well as increased attention to waterproofing. Alternative basin in the room can be an outdoor swimming pool with the installation of modular pavilion.
Bowl PEX Basin welded PEX sheet thickness of 5 and 8 mm. If this is a round pool surface, for it requires only a flat concreted area, unless another form – excavate and concreted the bottom, then the cup is set according to the instructions.
By installing the pool, should ensure a constant circulation of water in the pool to keep it clean and prevent the development of microflora. For these purposes, the pool filtration equipment is installed, and the water is added disinfectants.
In the water filtering system includes a device separating water filters varying degrees of purification and release devices. Separation, that is, removal of the upper, most contaminated water layer in the filter installation. It is possible to implement:
- Through the skimmer – a device forced water intake, installed in the wall of the pool, or attachments;
- By removing the water through the troughs, located along the perimeter of the pool.
In skimmernyh pools water surface below a side by 15-20 cm (lowered surface), the overflow water level is flush with the rim (stretched surface).
Water filtration is done in two stages: pre-treatment of water and proper filtration. The pre-treatment involves removal of the water flow of large debris: leaves, insects, hair, fur animals. In skimmernom pump for this is the catcher of fibers in the gutters overflow basin – separating basket.
Actually filtration – purification of water from the particle size from 1 mm to tenths, hundredths of a micron (colloidal particles). The quality of filtration depends on the filter material. The best is silica sand, all other substitutes (porous PEX and paper cartridge) filtered worse. After 2-3 months they become soiled so that they become unsuitable for further use. These filters can be used in pools with low productivity filtering (max – 10 m3) or for additional cleaning.
Quartz sand is a “natural” filter for the water, it should be used in any pools. The need for cleaning the filter sand layer is installed through gauge – gauge pressure increase in the installation.
Submission to the pool water and purified by skimmernogo and in the overflow basins through special nozzles in the bottom of the pool.
In addition to filtering the water in the basin should be treated himpreparatami, otherwise it will start to “bloom” and is not suitable for swimming. Chemicals used to sanitize water, maintain a normal pH level and training pool for the winter period.
Sanitization of water can be carried out by chemical means (chlorination, bromination, iodination, ozonation), and with silver, treatment with ultraviolet light or salt water.
Chlorination is the most common method of water disinfection. The effectiveness of chlorine-containing products is high and the side effects in the form of chlorine odor and irritate the skin and mucous membranes can be avoided by using the achievements of modern chemistry. Along with the rapid-acting drugs, there are a slow and chemicals that dissolve in water for several days, ensuring that it is a continuous chlorination.
Preparations based on bromine and iodine are less common in the application of the relatively low efficiency and the high price. However, the unpleasant side effects when it can be avoided.
Ozonation – an effective method, but almost has no aftereffect and rather expensive. Apply it should be in combination with chlorination.
Treatment is based on a salt water solution in water pool of a small amount of salt and subsequent electrolysis of the solution. Disadvantage – a significant decrease of pH.
Treatment with ultraviolet light is ineffective and is used in conjunction with chlorination.
Silvering water (water treatment with silver ions and copper) helps to avoid chlorination and disinfect water without oxidation. Contact this water into the body undesirable side effects arise.
Stabilization of the pH level is necessary because the human body reacts negatively to too acidic or alkaline environments. Also, all fungicides are effective at neutral pH (allowable limits for the pool – 7,1 – 7,6). If the acidity is not normal, worse than drugs dissolved in water, creating additional pollution. Reducing the pH by pH-Minus drugs, increase – pH Plus.
Means used for the preservation of the pool for the winter (remember, PEX water pool in the winter does not merge), prevent the formation of water on the stone walls of the pool and the spring algal growth.
If the pool is arranged in the room becomes necessary to have a device paroulavlivaniya. Without it, the evaporation from the surface of the pool will significantly raise the humidity in the room, creating discomfort for the people there. In addition, high humidity favors the development of mold, rotting wood, and premature corrosion of metal structures.
Stimcath resembles a conditioner, a device picks up the premises up to 80% steam and condenses at the same time it uses the same heat for heating the pool room (from the device comes into the room warm and dry air).
In addition to the required filtration equipment in the pool you can install additional equipment designed for ease of use.
Backflow device. It can be stationary (mounted in the wall of the pool) or portable (weighing on the edge). The device creates a powerful water flow and allows even a small swimming pool create a feeling of swimming “upstream”. In fact, people do not move from their seats.
Highlighting the pool. Underwater lights are mounted in a wall or bottom of the pool for underwater lighting space and convenience of navigation in the dark. Number of lamps depends on their size and power.
Heated water. This measure is necessary to extend the swimming season, if the pool is located in the premises. Garden swimming pool with pavilion and water heating device, can be used in the winter.
Equipment for heating varies, depending on the power, speed and cost of heating. For small pools, you can use electric heaters. Coffee trends not related to the heating system at home, it is easy to install, but the performance Tena quite low. Solar-powered devices are economical, but are rather complicated structurally and require additional equipment. Water should be in this case pass through the system of radiators and heat from the sun, respectively, require additional filtration and circulation devices. Heat exchangers, connected to the boiler, set quite expensive, but the subsequent costs of heating water is lower than that of similar devices, and the efficiency is quite high. Of course, installation of heat exchanger is possible only if the boiler.
May be partly to facilitate the care of a swimming pool with automatic systems work. Automatic self-propelled vacuum cleaner removes dirt from the floor and walls of pools, automatic control valve allows you to set the frequency filter is washed and circulating device, dispensing chemicals maintains a certain level of concentration of chemicals in the water basin.
Coverage for the pool is necessary if you wish to protect from water damage and debris to keep warm and to prevent evaporation and falling into the pool of small animals and children home. The coatings are different, have different advantages and disadvantages. Bubble film on the surface of the water reduces evaporation and contamination of water, but does not withstand the mechanical loads. Floating blinds reduce heat transfer and evaporation, some capable of withstanding a load, but they are quite expensive and almost no protection from debris. Tarpaulins used to cover the pool for the winter. It is quite cumbersome, exceeds the size of the size of the pool and can not withstand high mechanical loads. Tent for the pool is stretched on the set around the pool mounting, withstand significant mechanical loads, is used both for conservation of the pool for the winter, and for shelter during the summer.
