Swimming pool

Traditional swimming pools

The traditional swimming pools, built to measure by , are made out of reinforced concrete run, or projected under pressure on a metal reinforcement. They yield with an infinity of forms (creation of central small island, system of overflow) and authorize the installation of any type of coating. If the mosaic is the last word, the (plastic very thick of blue, white, #343A0B color plain or imitating to perfection the mosaic) is cheaper and remarkable as for the conversation and the lifespan. Remain however that a traditional swimming pool more expensive than is prefabricated.

Prefabricated swimming pools

Made swimming pools of panels industrialized out of steel, concrete, or materials of synthesis are cheaper. They agree with all the types of grounds, and you can buy them in kit, install them yourselves after excavation of the ground, or choose them in “loan to be dived” while letting the manufacturer undertake the installation. Only the careful handymen will choose to install them themselves, it is not intricate but meticulous person. The candidates with the fast dive will choose the moulded polyester monocoques, entirely prefabricated. The mining area is delivered of a block and is posed using a crane in a pit furnished with a sand bed. Only stress: that the truck, its crane and your swimming pool can arrive on the place of installation without ties up. The tortuous accesses, the shafts or the proximity of constructions neighborhood can make impossible the operation.

Authorization in town hall

In all the cases of swimming pool not - glaze, you will have to carry out a preliminary request for work near the town hall, by mentioning exact dimensions of your mining area.

Models except ground

They are most of the time installed and removed each year. Speed, facility of setting in œ , absence of administrative formalities, they have all these assets but are integrated often badly into the environment. One can however benefit from a declivity of the ground and supplement a model of wood by a beach out of grating, or bury with half a structure which allows it. On the other hand, the large inflatable seal rings are not very esthetic but their soft forms are the ally of the children.

The Council: one needs a perfectly plane ground (to pose a large quite right plate vertically and to check flatness using a level with to be sure of its straightness on) before posing your swimming pool. A sand bed stabilizes the content.

Dryness attention!

If you buy a swimming pool except ground and that you install it each year, initially, it is a consequent water budget (whereas swimming pools traditional or prefabricated never empty themselves) and then, you can belong to an area where it is interdict to fill a swimming pool lasting certain periods with dryness. You inform common.

The filtering of water

The water of a swimming pool must be filtered permanently

Since it is not thinkable to empty water each week and to renew it, the aforementioned must be filtered permanently.

This filtered water arrives by tubes located on the vertical walls while located on the vertical inner walls or in periphery for the swimming pool at overflow (swimming pools where water levels the edge) aspire the impurities of surface (midges, leaves, etc) and a the fallen impurities to the content.

The Council: position, if possible, your under the wind. That will help the circulation of water and thus its filtering.

For a good performance, the resumptions of surface by the must represent more than 50% of the totality of the recovery, the lower basic plug less than 50%. Lastly, it is necessary that water circulates sufficiently to avoid the areas without current where the impurities could accumulate.

Means of filtering water

• a mechanical filter: more used and the least expensive is the good old man vat with sand! The impurities “are filtered”, the method is coarse but effective, the filter should be cleaned every week.
• a chemical filter: to supplement this filtering one associates a chemical processing of water. Most known is chlorine. One uses large bleach pellets, more especially as the weather is hot, if not parks with the water which transfers.
• other methods as bromine gives a water that everyone does not appreciate on the other hand the processing by ultraviolet rays or a processing which brings closer water to your swimming pool of sea water are the last word.

A regular control

Using small strips or of a very simple reading device, you will have to control each week the degree of acidity of the water which must range between 7 and 7,4.

An additive cleaning

With a telescopic brush you will clean the walls and the content of the mining area. A tiresome work which you will avoid if you use a suction robot. As it functions all alone, you will have only to connect it and wait until your mining area is cleaned.

Accessories with the swimming pool

• A curbstone around, to make out of stones (it is most resistant) or of wood (very pretty very nine but becomes #B4B98A in time and can become deformed by place),
• A room of approximately three square meters is desirable to install the filtration of a buried swimming pool (that of a swimming pool except ground can be done using a block which positions on a side of the swimming pool and can be used at the same time as staircase to have an esthetic side)
• A ladder to descend and especially go up swimming pool. One makes it in two parties in order to be able to pass a reservoir or a curtain of protection.
• A diving board, since the of the mining area allows it (at least two meters)
• A stroke with against current. If your mining area is not large, here is the means of swimming indefinitely.
• A reservoir of manual protection to cover your swimming pool: they is rather tiresome but that avoids the heating losses of the night.
• A curtain with electric rolling up: luxury. A small engine fires or pushes back in a vat located on the side of the (to clean the impurities fallen immediately above) a curtain which can be solar. Heating of water, esthetic protection of the swimming pool, it is a rather heavy expenditure (starting from 5.000 euros for a swimming pool of conventional size) but very pleasant.
• A telescopic shelter: by covering the swimming pool, one can the the gloomy days, but this type of shelter must be well thought to be integrated correctly in the landscape.
• An pool-house: it is a more or less large shelter where one can change, to arrange the and some deckchairs. If you have the place and the means, provide for of them a shower, a small bar and why not a barbecue.
• Projectors: two or three projectors to be able to swim the night in a fairy-like environment.
