Pools of polypropylene with their hands

near your holiday home there is no natural natural pond, it is probably worth thinking about the construction of the swimming pool right on the site.As the complex engineering structures, and not the usual pit, swimming pool requires a very careful approach to their construction and the choice for this place.In past years, the presence of the pool area is an indication of very high consistency.Today there are so many cheap materials that can even build pools of polypropylene with their hands, the cost of which will be within reason.

choice of material

Anyone who wants to build a swimming pool, it was not necessary subsequently to spend money on its repair or reconstruction.For this reason, it stands in front of the device to pay attention to the choice of material for their artificial reservoir.Previously pools made of concrete, plastic or special waterproof film.Today, thanks to this material, such as polypropylene, can be set at the pool on the site of any shape or size you like.

Today industry produces special brand of polypropylene, which has properties that make it suitable for the construction of hydraulic structures:

• First of all it is a very low water, heat and gas permeability.
• in containers for pools maintained the required temperature, so there is no need for thermal insulation.
• pool made of this material, save electricity, as contained in the water, no heat goes into the ground or into concrete.
• Polypropylene can make absolutely any capacity, even irregular shapes.

• Attractive appearance and technical reliability.
• resistance to corrosion and chemicals.
• prolonged period of operation.
• has very high strength and impact resistance.

• resistance of its color, and beautiful from burnout protection.
• light weight and resistance to abrasion.

to manufacture the pool used a polypropylene sheet of 4 x 1.5 m. Its thickness is either 5 or 8 mm.To this end, the material is considered to be a safe temperature to + 95 degrees, which is sufficient for the stated purpose.

technological process of production of the pool installation sheet presented propylene welding with invisible and very strong welds.

preparatory stage of construction

Before starting the construction of the pool, it is necessary to carry out some preliminary work on which further steps will depend on installation.Stage design is perhaps the most important step towards the success of the project.Select the first pool depth, which begins on the emission class of 1 m, 1.65 m and ends. The choice is made and forms the most bowl so that it fit on a particular site.It can choose any, but you need to know that it is harder than, those difficult installation and maintenance of the pool.For geometrically irregular shapes more difficult to calculate the capacity of the pumps and filters.

entertainment devices, such as horizontal bars, ramps, stairs and slides must also be set optimally, so the calculation of location is very important.We should also consider that if the family who do not know how to swim, the structure is too deep the pool is dangerous.A swimming pool should be liberated from the buildings and vegetation area near running water.

To facilitate the installation process, you must be sure to draw a diagram of the entire structure, and already on it to calculate the direct installation of hydraulic equipment.The design for the installation of the bowl or pit should be 1 meter wider than the bowl itself.This will engage with the convenience of installation work.Step by step instructions

facilities polypropylene pool

If you have an irresistible urge to save, you can dispense with labor recruitment, and to do everything yourself.You can even hire a backhoe, if he could stop by the station.Thus it is necessary to know that the excavator rental price is quite high.

• Once established place structures on loop drive in pegs and pull some rope.Then you need to fix the height of the planned side of the pool.The depth of the pit is necessary to increase to 50 cm more than the height of the pool.
• Be sure to do the drainage bowl, which protects against pressure close to groundwater.To do this, line the bottom of the pit, it geotextile veiled, and then all the bottom gravel poured thick geotextile layer 30 will not see. Gravel dive into the ground.Dig the ground scatter on the site next to the excavation, later a part of it will be filled up again.
• Laying Wire Mesh begin to produce after the construction of drainage and compaction.Reinforcing mesh needs to be with a mesh of 25 cm, which is placed on the bricks.They should be evenly distributed over the entire bottom of the pit, so that the net was raised by 5 cm above the gravel.To get quality screed must install beacons of metal pipes on a plaster solution.
• Then proceed to pouring concrete.It is possible to prepare yourself with the mixer or the ready.Qualitative easier pouring concrete trough performed using, for example, from conventional boards.This design allows you to conveniently apply the solution to the bottom of the pit.

• After casting, we need to get a concrete slab with a thickness of 20 cm, exceeding the capacity of the pool size of 50 cm around the perimeter.Average drying concrete pedestal occur only after 5 days.
• concrete can be laid on the insulator, which provides additional thermal protection the pool and prevents rapid cooling of water in it.Sometimes you need to put more and gidrotekstil.As a heat insulator can be selected quite inexpensive materials such as polystyrene, which can be a bond between a conventional adhesive tape.

bowl assembly for

pool most difficult part in the construction of swimming pools - ready welding sheets of polypropylene.This will require a special welding machine, hair dryer building with the necessary attachments.For soldering uses a special rod for joining polypropylene sutures.

welding joints of polypropylene swimming pools is carried out by a special algorithm:

• scheduled to place the connection joints over cooked drawings, in which you need to check all the parameters of the cup.
• bowls Production should start from the bottom of the pit, but in the beginning you want to cut out all the necessary details of the future constructions: the bottom rim, as well as stage.Polypropylene sheets need to connect with the outside by means of welding gun with hot air jet passing through the nozzle straight angle.The welding equipment is very expensive, so it is easier to rent.
• Then the bottom of the pit is placed workpieces made of polypropylene, which are cut in the shape of the bottom of the pool.The edges of these sheets joined with flanges future pool and begin to weld them in two ways: on the outside for welding nozzles and the inside rod for soldering polypropylene sutures.This double seam is more durable.

• Similarly produced stage.When the cup of the future pool will be welded, it is necessary to weld stiffeners even using the same rod.The distance between such ribs do 50-70 cm. Once the design is completely made, it must be firmly installed and secure.

Installing auxiliary fitting pieces and fastening

bowl Once the work on the pool construction is complete, proceed to the hydraulic system of the device, consisting of pipes around the perimeter, installation of special bottom drains and reinstalling the lighting equipment.For proper functioning of the pool will need to have special equipment for water filtration and exhaust pollution from its bottom (called a vacuum cleaner).

Once all the equipment is completely installed, it is necessary to connect and communication.Then you want to check all of the resulting pool system for its operation.If our pool is right, then proceed to consolidate most of the cup and its subsequent filling.

Securing polypropylene bowls

to hold and maintain the proper forms walls of the bowl is required to install spacers inside the pool.After that, all protected with special protective pipe sleeves.Around the bowl are collected and reinforced formwork.

In the process of casting is a must to make sure that the wall did not cave in.Next, perform the following steps:

• Gaining first cup of water to a depth of only 30 cm
• Fill liquid concrete span around the entire pool to the same 30 cm and wait for the first coat is completely dry..
• After a day in the pool topped up another 30 cm of water and pour the second layer of the solution to this height.
• thus continue concreting height of the walls of an artificial pond.
• After drying concrete formwork covered with sand the remaining free space and tamped.
• final stage of the whole construction will be landscaping around the pool polypropylene.

Repair and maintenance of swimming pools propylene

Polypropylene basins are classified as one of the most reliable designs.Despite this, sometimes there are situations when they have to be repaired.By the complex overhaul of the elimination of serious problems include: the replacement of waterworks, the room itself the entire basin.Small or unexpected repair involves the removal of such faults as: replacement of a burnt underwater illumination, eliminating the pipe rupture.By the mid-life repairs include such works, when repaired some elements of a specific system or the whole system of heating, filtration, hydraulic control.

to such repairs made as little as possible, it is necessary for swimming pools polypropylene carry out a correct and timely care.The main scourge of such structures can be called dirt and chemicals.Cleaning of dirt should be carried out annually conventional mechanical means.Detergents should be used at the same time safe for polypropylene.Conventional chlorinated agents should be avoided as they are decolorized surface of the bowl, make it faded.Chlorine broken microporosity polypropylene.Therefore it is better to use safe chlorine compounds such as sodium hypochlorite or the like.

If you decide to build your own pool, you will need special equipment and materials.The most popular artificial hydraulic structures are made of polypropylene swimming pools.Big money for the construction of the basin is not required, and the design of the object, you can create whatever.
