Things You Need To Pay Attention To When Making A Swimming Pool

 Have you ever imagined having your own private swimming pool in your own home? The main advantages of having a private swimming pool are in terms of comfort and practicality. With a swimming pool at home, you don't have to share a swimming area with the crowd in a public swimming pool. What's more, you can swim anytime without anyone controlling. If you have enough vacant land in your house, then there is nothing wrong with making a private swimming pool, right?

Presenting a swimming pool at home needs to pay attention to several things in its planning. Both in terms of cost, construction, and aesthetics, you need to understand so that your swimming pool can actually function properly. The following is a summary of what needs to be considered when making a swimming pool.

Budget

Cost is the first thing you need to pay attention to because the most important thing in having a swimming pool is not only during the manufacturing process, but also the maintenance that needs to be done regularly. The details of the costs that you need to prepare include costs for construction, craftsmen, filtration and piping equipment, supplies of chlorine and soda ash , lighting systems, and water costs.

A swimming pool that is used for swimming purposes at least requires a size of about 3 x 10 meters. But you don't have to use these standards. If the purpose of making a swimming pool is a place to soak and only swim lightly, then the size of the pool can be reduced if the available land is limited. In addition to providing land for the swimming pool, you also need to provide a clearance area around the swimming pool of about 50 cm. Circulation space around or one side of the pool is also recommended so that residents are comfortable moving around the pool area.

If you pay attention, the water in the pool continues to cycle so that the pool is always clean. Therefore, a swimming pool needs a pump to regulate the water circulation. Apart from that, the swimming pool also needs lighting at night. As a rough calculation, a small swimming pool needs about 500-700 watts for electricity consumption

Water Supply

The existence of water, of course, is an absolute thing in a swimming pool. Swimming pool water supply can come from various sources, including well water and PAM water. If you take care of the pool properly, you don't need to change the pool water too often so that water consumption can be saved. One way is to maintain clean water, maintain chlorine levels, and maintain PH levels.

Filtration System

There are 2 filtration systems that you can choose from for your swimming pool, namely the conventional system and the integrated pool and filter system . The conventional system is a method of making a swimming pool by planting structural pipes at the bottom of the swimming pool construction. These pipes aim to drain the water into the filter tank which then flows back into the pond after being filtered. On the other hand, the integrated pool and filter system does not use pipes but uses a filtration system that integrates with the structure of the swimming pool. The advantage of this system is that the pool pump and filter is located on the edge or in the pool, making it suitable for those of you who want to create a small swimming pool.

In order for the swimming pool to be durable and durable, the construction materials used to build a swimming pool also need to be considered carefully. If a swimming pool is built by dredging the land, soil conditions have a big influence on the choice of materials and structures that will be used to construct the swimming pool.

Apart from the structure, the visual aesthetic appearance of the swimming pool should not be left behind. Ceramic wall and floor materials in swimming pools usually use a lot of ceramic or granite. Choose bright colors so that your pool looks clean and wider. Also, consider using materials that are easy to clean.
