Not having dirt is also an important part of making the swimming pool beautiful. But until you get clear blue water like you see You will need a water circulation and water treatment system to help keep the water in your swimming pool as clean as you want.
water circulating system
There are two commonly used systems: the Skimmer system and the Overflow system, both of which have the following characteristics.
Skimmer | Overflow | |
Work process | Filter water from a ready-made filter without having to run pipes. | Pipes must be routed to send water to the water tank before sending it to the water filter. |
What kind of pool is suitable? | Suitable for small swimming pools approximately 6 × 12 meters. | Suitable for large swimming pools and with space for a machine room. |
Area preparation | The filter is small and easy to install at the pool edge. | There must be space for the engine room and water tank. The engine room may be above ground or underground. |
Budget (in the same area) | The Overflow system is approximately 15 – 20% more expensive than the Skimmer system. | |
In addition to these two types of water circulation systems being different in terms of their working characteristics, the Overflow system is required to keep the water level in the pool at the same level as the area around the pool, so the water surface appears tight. Beautiful but uses a lot of water There are widely known names such as Endless Pool, Edgeless Pool, etc. As for the Skimmer system, the water level in the pool is approximately 10 -15 centimeters below the edge of the pool so that the water passes directly into the filter, thus saving more water.
An important device that will help circulate water in the pool to keep it always clean is Water filter Therefore, it is necessary to choose a water filter that is suitable for use. The water filters used in home swimming pools can be divided into cloth filter, sand filter and synthetic fiber filters
– Cloth filters or DE Filters are currently the filter systems that filter the cleanest water. By working with filter powder The filter powder catches impurities in the water. Therefore, it can filter small impurities up to 1 micron, providing crystal clear water quality, but it is more expensive and has monthly expenses in the long run. Because you have to add filter powder every time you wash the machine.
-Sand filter or Sand Filter uses sand grains as a filter for dirt, thus filtering out dirt. that are large from 40 microns or more, which filters up to 40 times coarser, but even though the filtration is less fine, if the user has expertise, a sand filter is a good choice because it is cheap. and no need to add filter powder But there may be additional costs in the long run from inexperienced use.
-Synthetic fiber filter or Cartridge Filter is a type of filter that uses a filter. The filter is made from synthetic fiber. Can filter down to 10 microns, which is finer than a sand filter. It is also small, convenient to install, takes up little space. But you must regularly remove the filter and clean it because dirt will clog inside the machine, causing the filter efficiency to decrease.
” There are two main water treatment systems for swimming pools currently in use. Let’s consider various factors. these before deciding which water treatment system to use for your swimming pool.
Chlorine system | Salt system | |
Health effects | If you swim for a long time It will cause the hair and skin to dry out. If people who are allergic to chlorine go swimming, they may feel a burning sensation on the skin area. | It is the most natural because it uses salt water to kill germs. Therefore, it is not harmful to health and also adds moisture to the skin. |
System installation | No need to install the system Because it uses chlorine that is in the form of powder or liquid. | Must install a water purifier Contains salt (Salt-Chlorinator) |
Maintaining the water in the pool | The pH of the pool water must be measured, which should be around 7.2 – 7.8. If it is lower than this, acid must be added to adjust the pH. | There is an Automatic pH Control system. To control the pH value, this system automatically adjusts the addition of acid or alkali when the pH value goes up or down. |
Budget | There is no system installation fee. But there is a cost to add chlorine. | Installation costs are in the tens of thousands, depending on the size of the pool, and there is the cost of adding salt when cleaning the filter. |
period To kill germs | 1 month | 1 month |
Lighting system
” Swimming pool lighting can be divided according to estimated usage. It is the light that allows you to see at night.
