Open-air pool The choice of the location is particularly important.A
sunny, southerly location protected from wind and view is ideal and,
wherever possible, it should be close to the house, so that the
technical equipment can be accommodated without expensive additional
building work. Consideration should also be given to whether the pool
might later be enclosed to create an indoor pool. The ground properties
are very important. How high is the ground water level, can rain or
flood water get into the pool, and how can this be avoided? High wind
speeds promote evaporation, water loss and especially energy loss. The
longest possible exposure to the sun increases energy, and also makes
swimming enjoyable during the evening. Trees or bushes in the immediate
vicinity cause contamination, as do sandy paths leading to the pool.
Since some exposure to wind cannot be entirely prevented, the main wind
direction should be taken into account: The facing wall of the pool
equipped with the surface cleaner should point against the main wind
direction, so that the wind assists the flow in the pool (provided by
the inlet nozzles). A footbath with shower is
also an advantage, as well as a non-slip surrounding border approx. 1 m
in width, with a slightly outward-sloping incline, so that no dirty
water can flow into the pool.
Indoor pools The normal construction is an indoor pool built onto the house or integrated into the house itself.
It
is advisable to fit large sliding doors opening onto the garden that
can be opened during the warm, summer months, in order to create a
pleasant, open-air pool atmosphere. Water evaporation from the pool
surface cannot be entirely avoided, and should therefore be taken into
account when designing the pool. Temperatures below the dew-point and
consequent formation of condensation will damage components. Good
insulation will prevent too sharp a temperature drop on interior
surfaces, thereby helping to prevent temperatures falling below the
dew-point. This often makes higher air humidity in the pool enclosure
acceptable, and also considerably reduces evaporation.
Very
high evaporation again means "energy loss" (in the water itself) and
causes further energy costs either due to the heating of fresh air
supplied or the increased output of dehumidification systems (e.g.
air-conditioning system). In the case of large, glass sliding doors and
other outer walls with relatively high heat transmission levels, the
circulating air-conditioning and static heating elements should be
positioned so that they are exposed at these points to warmed and
dehumidified air, in order to counteract the formation of condensation.
Circulating air dehumidification units are commonly used and prevent
unnecessary energy losses, the electrical energy used for operation
serving as an additional source of heat.
And
again: even in an indoor pool, the edge of the pool should be designed
so that waste cleaning water cannot get into the pool. If the water
level of the pool lies below that of the pool surround (in the case of
the surface cleaner or with an internal overflow channel), the pool
surround should be inclined slightly to the outside, and provided with
separate outlets to the drainage system. In case of an overflow channel
at the same level as the pool surround, this can also serve for the
drainage of the pool surround, if the channel collector pipe leading to
the JUDO compensation container is designed so that during cleaning
(with the filter system switched off), an outlet to the drainage system
can be opened, preventing the entry of dirty water into the circulation
system.
