Why polypropylene

polypropylene Pools can be built on an open space, and indoors, thanks to a number of advantages of this material:

  • low weight;
  • high impact resistance;
  • wonderful elasticity;
  • resistance to ultraviolet rays and chemical composition;
  • nonsusceptibility corrosion;
  • environmentally friendly material;
  • possibility of use at low temperatures (-80 ° C).

However, the main advantage of polypropylene - the construction of structures of any shape, size and complexity.

Among the positive aspects of the mass, we should mention the only drawback of this material - used a fairly expensive equipment for welding polypropylene sutures.

Types of pools from polypropylene

1. Frame - slightly deepened into the ground or mounted on its surface.

Advantages and disadvantages:

  • mobility;
  • presence of even a site for the plant;
  • dismantling of the winter season;
  • high probability of mechanical damage;
  • high cost.

2. foundation pit - the pool bowl dug into the ground completely.

advantages and disadvantages:

  • easy maintenance;
  • durability;
  • eliminated the need for dismantling;
  • low cost;
  • the complexity of excavation.

Selecting a location for

pool prolong the operational life of the pool and keep the water relatively clean will help competent approach to the choice of location for the future of the pool with the following conditions:

  1. lack of trees.In dry weather, the roots tend to any source of water, damaging the waterproofing of the pool.Flew with the leaves of the trees also bring a lot of problems, because they have to constantly clean up before bathing.Otherwise, the decaying leaves in the water create a favorable basis for the formation of algae.
  2. wind direction.Pool is located in such a way that the debris hit the water, nailed to one end, and is not spread over the entire surface of the water surface, so it is easier to remove.

basin manufacturing techniques of excavation of polypropylene type

necessary materials and tools

  • cement;
  • gravel;
  • wire;
  • sand;
  • fittings;
  • concrete mixer;
  • drill;
  • level;
  • hammer;
  • roulette;
  • boards shuttering;
  • nails;
  • geotextiles;
  • waterproofing material (extruded polystyrene);
  • tape;
  • plastic pipes;
  • polypropylene sheets (thickness 5-15 mm);
  • extruder + 2 nozzles for welding;
  • building dryer;
  • metal rack.

Pit

  1. Trying to drive the pegs on the future of the pool perimeter and stretch the rope.
  2. fix a rim height.
  3. Roy pit that exceeds the cup size 70 cm on all sides, and the depth is increased by 60 cm.
  4. laid on the bottom of the excavated pit geotextiles.
  5. Fall asleep by 30 cm layer of gravel, compacted.
  6. We manufacture an array of valve with a mesh diameter of about 25 cm.
  7. Fasten grille over the gravel to a height of 7-8 cm.
  8. Given the height of the flanges exhibiting metal studs instead beacons.
  9. filled with concrete solution of the whole area
  10. 30 cm thick after hardening concrete floor laid geotextile, and on top -. Sheets of extruded polystyrene foam bonded together with adhesive tape.

pool bowl of polypropylene

  1. polystyrene laid on polypropylene sheets.
  2. We weld the bottom of the bowl hand extruder starting from the back side, turn over.
  3. From inside the hairdryer pass welds, using oval flagellum.
  4. in the manufacture of the bottom mark up the location of the bowl wall.
  5. Install wall bowl prihvatyvaya inside hairdryer.
  6. boil the outside seams of the wall with the bottom of the bowl hand extruder, and then inside the hairdryer around the perimeter.
  7. To bowl walls from the outside welds welded stiffeners twig using the hair dryer, in increments of 60 cm.
  8. insulated wall polystyrene cups.
  9. The edges are drilled holes in 50 cm and paste them in the fitting around the perimeter of the bowl.

Installation

  1. base constructions Mount nozzle for water injection, main drain, skimmers, projectors.
  2. insulate the existing pipes, fixing tape.

Final pouring concrete

  1. Around the pool are building formwork height and width of 30 cm.
  2. Pour the water adjustment made formwork pool.
  3. at the same height of the formwork is filled in with concrete.
  4. A day lift formwork by 30 cm, add water into the bowl and then pour the concrete, producing similar manipulations every day before reaching the ground.
  5. backfill free space around the pool formwork produce as formwork lifting, or after the completion of the concrete pouring.

're landscaping the area around the pool.
