Everything that gives us pleasure and makes us happy is worth be bought.<br \/>\nThere are many arguments for buying a swimming pool.<br \/>\nHere are the most important one:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Buying a swimming pool  and installing it your garden automatically increases the value of your property by min. 15%-25%.<\/li>\n<li>You save time. You do not have to pack the whole family into a car and drive all the way to a public swimming pool. After coming from work, you just change into a swimsuit, take a towel and you can enjoy your free time with friends and family by the pool. Summer becomes longer because you can use it 100%.<\/li>\n<li>You invest in the health and physical condition of yourself and your family.<\/li>\n<li>It increases the attractiveness of your garden.<\/li>\n<li>You know, you are swimming in really clear, clean water because you have under control who does use your swimming pool and if the pool water is properly disinfected<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1784\" data-postid=\"1784\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1784 themify_builder\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article><\/div><div class=\"bwl-faq-container bwl-faq-container-3565160339\" id=\"faq-1785\"><input id=\"ac-category-35651603391785\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-35651603391785\" label_id=\"ac-category-1785\" parent_container_id=\"3565160339\">What poll model and size to choose?<\/label><article class=\"ac-medium\" article_id=\"ac-category-1785\"><p>he first question to ask is: what technical possibilities does my property have? First of all, you should determine how much space you have for the pool. Even the smallest, 5-meter pool can fulfill both functions: recreation and training. Yes, you can do a fully professional swimming training in a 5-meter swimming pool, by assembling a swimming machine called a counter-current (in more detail, we will tell you about it in another episode). Another thing you should think about is the swimming pool model, that is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>first, the shape of the basin (it can be a rectangular model with internal stairs, or a classic shape with Roman stairs, or modern with rectangular stairs)<\/li>\n<li>secondly, the type of stairs (for ex. small stairs used only for a comfortable descent to the pool, or stairs combined with seats or couches, enabling relaxation and rest in the pool).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Selected solutions should blend in with the architecture and style of your home and garden.<\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1785\" data-postid=\"1785\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1785 themify_builder\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article><\/div><div class=\"bwl-faq-container bwl-faq-container-3565160339\" id=\"faq-1798\"><input id=\"ac-category-35651603391798\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-35651603391798\" label_id=\"ac-category-1798\" parent_container_id=\"3565160339\">What budget do I need to have to buy a pool?<\/label><article class=\"ac-medium\" article_id=\"ac-category-1798\"><p>When planning the purchase of a pool, you need to consider several elements in the budget: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, the cost of purchasing a basin pool with basic equipment. At PoolsFACTORY GROUP, prices range from PLN 11175 to PLN 81700. The price depends on the quality and technology in which your swimming pool is manufactured. We offer 4 categories of pools, differing in price and quality. <\/li>\n<li>Second, the cost of purchasing additional equipment for your pool. Thanks to this, your swimming pool will be more functional and you will be able  to use it for a longer period of the year.<br \/>\nThe pool should be equipped, for example, with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>lamps that will illuminate the water mirror in the evening and create a romantic atmosphere;<\/li>\n<li>a heat pump that will heat up the water so that you can enjoy the pool with all pleasure even on cooler days. Remember also that the water that will heat itself up on a hot day will cool down at night. So if you do not want to feel like at the Baltic Sea, invest in a heating device for your swimming pool. Heat pump prices start from PLN 3,999.<\/li>\n<li>You will also need a cover of the water surface. If the pool water already heats up, spontaneously or thanks to the heat pump, then after finishing using the pool, you need to cover the water surface to prevent it from getting cold. 90% of the heat losses is lost through the water surface. There are many ways to cover the pool  starting with solar film, and ending at pool enclosures. The average cost of a solar film with a roller 1600 PLN. However, the prices of pool enclosure start from PLN 17996.<\/li>\n<li>If you dream of being in the swimming representation at the Olympics, it is worth to invest in a counter-current, i.e. a swimming machine. Thanks to it, you will be able to use the pool not only for rest and relaxation, but above all for everyday swimming sessions like in the Olympic swimming pool. The stream of water thrown at a speed of 55 to 70 m3 \/ h will allow you to swim on spot, despite the use of high force. Even the smallest pool equipped with this device will be able to satisfy your need for swimming, not just soaking in the pool. The prices of counter-currents start at PLN 4500.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The third point you should consider in the budget are the delivery costs to your place. The price depends on the pool size and the country it has to be transported. The rate per km starts from PLN 2,60 \/ km there and back. There is also the possibility of collecting your own pool by yourself.<\/li>\n<li>The fourth point to think of in the budget is the cost of a company that will make the excavation, prepare the concrete plate at its bottom and finally cover the pool with dry concrete and reinforce the pool stairs. You should also include the cost of an electrician and a plumber who will connect the hydraulic and electric installation of your pool. If you have the right knowledge and skills in the field of construction and hydraulics, then you can do the assembly yourself. The most expensive is the pool installation implemented by the so-called pool companies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The purchase and installation of a swimming pool is not everything. Remember also about daily exploitation of the pool, which mainly consists of: purchasing of pool chemicals and energy consumed by the entire installation. Depending on the use, pool equipment and its size monthly cost of pool maintenance varies between 200 and 800 PLN. <\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1798\" data-postid=\"1798\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1798 themify_builder\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article><\/div><div class=\"bwl-faq-container bwl-faq-container-3565160339\" id=\"faq-1799\"><input id=\"ac-category-35651603391799\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-35651603391799\" label_id=\"ac-category-1799\" parent_container_id=\"3565160339\">What pool manufacturing type to choose?<\/label><article class=\"ac-medium\" article_id=\"ac-category-1799\"><p>The following options for building a swimming pool are available on the market: firstly, inflatable and set-up pools. If you are not sure if you want to have a swimming pool at all, then at the beginning you can consider this option. Remember, however, about some important aspects of having this type of pool:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>inflatable and set-up swimming pools are not durable and do not look professional<\/li>\n<li>they rather blemish than decorate the garden<\/li>\n<li>unstable construction<\/li>\n<li>hardly anyone can properly distribute them, and the improper stretching of the pool bottom causes it to collapse. If the bottom of the pool is not flat, its vacuuming is practically impossible. Which means that if you cannot clean you\u2019re the pool, you must empty all the warm water and fill in a fresh, cold one. This situation is repeated several times over the whole bathing season<\/li>\n<li>another weak point is the \u201camateur\u201d filtration system, based on a mini skimmer and a cartouche filter, i.e. a paper filter that is not able to clean the pool water in a professional way<\/li>\n<li>instead of stairs, thanks to which you can safely enter and exit the pool, they have an unstable ladder<\/li>\n<li>there is no places to relax in the pool as for ex. seats or couches<\/li>\n<li>purchasing an inflatable and inflatable pool, you often cannot count on professional advice or help<\/li>\n<li>the only advantage is the low price<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The second pool type are steel pools covered with a special foil:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>they are available only in 3 shapes ( circle, oval and eight-shape)<\/li>\n<li>this type of pools has no stairs, entry and exit is possible only using a ladder<\/li>\n<li>you will not relax on the seats or couches, because they simply do not exist<\/li>\n<li>the downside is also the foil that the pool must be lined up with. It is rarely located well, which results with unsightly wrinkles and the pool is very difficult to keep clean. The dirt gets under the folds and stays under them, precise vacuuming of the wrinkled bottom is practically impossible<\/li>\n<li>the straight angle between the walls of the pool and the bottom can lead to damages and unsealing of the pool as the water freezes in the wintertime<\/li>\n<li>installing steel swimming pools require making of retaining walls and that increases the costs. Additional, technical complications occur when installing an eight-shaped pool.<\/li>\n<li>installation of the steel pool is possible only on warm and sunny days, because the foil that the pool is lined with must be made at the right temperature during assembly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The third pool type is a polypropylene basin:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe pool consists of welded polypropylene plates. Welds and joints are highly visible;<\/p>\n<p>The pool walls are very flexible and have a thickness of 0.6 to 1.5cm. Behind the walls there are reinforcements in the form of springs. These reinforcements become visible after filling the pool, which is caused by high water pressure on the walls;<\/p>\n<p>Polypropylene basins are difficult to assemble, especially the filling of the side walls which are very flexible and arch in the middle of the basin.<\/p>\n<p>Monolithic concrete pools and prefabricated concrete blocks are the fourth type of swimming pools they allow you to create a pool of any shape and size. Limited only by your imagination. Do you want to have a star shaped pool? No problem! There are several ways to complete such a pool - PVC film, ceramic or mosaic tiles, polyurea spray and paint.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that a pool of bricks, concrete blocks is not 100% tight. Therefore, the processing of the pool is limited only to the lining with PVC film. However, if you want to pour out a concrete pool, check the tightness before completing the pool by simply filling the pool with water and leaving it to stand for about 3 weeks. Worth knowing about concrete pools:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They are the most expensive swimming pools and require a building permit, but they are also the most durable pools. When used properly, they serve many years;<\/li>\n<li>They are also expensive to carry out, e.g. the lining of a concrete basin with foil from 50 - 100 \u20ac \/ m2 and with mosaic stones from 100 - 400 \u20ac \/ m3<\/li>\n<li>The technology that completes the interior of the pool will determine its quality. For example, the inserted film is completely sealed, but welds are visible at the joints.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The fifth and the last type of pools are polyester basins, also known as fiberglass:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The construction of such a pool is monolith and supplied to you with basin elements already installed;<\/li>\n<li>It is a pool made of the same material as a small plane. Laminating technology makes it one of the most durable pools on the market. Among other things, GFRP is used in the manufacture of boats, yachts and just small aircraft;<\/li>\n<li>A special construction, with rounded corners at the point where the walls and floor of the pool connect, prevents freezing water in winter to create tension.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are not the only advantages of GFK Pools.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are no sharp edges;<\/li>\n<li>There are many models and sizes available in the market;<\/li>\n<li>They can be installed quickly and easily at any time of the year;<\/li>\n<li>A building permit is not necessary;<\/li>\n<li>Is the pool in this part of the garden no longer wanted? No problem, at any time you can dig out the pool and use it elsewhere, as it is not permanently connected to the ground.<\/li>\n<li>The polyester pool is also easy to clean. Thanks to the smooth surface you can easily remove impurities;<\/li>\n<li>You can order a pool in any RAL colour;<\/li>\n<li>You can also renew the coating and install any elements;<\/li>\n<li>Such basins are already factory-insulated with a polyurethane foam layer;<\/li>\n<li>You will not find a cheaper version of a built-in basin than a GFK pool.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1799\" data-postid=\"1799\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1799 themify_builder\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article><\/div><div class=\"bwl-faq-container bwl-faq-container-3565160339\" id=\"faq-1800\"><input id=\"ac-category-35651603391800\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-35651603391800\" label_id=\"ac-category-1800\" parent_container_id=\"3565160339\">In which technology are the GFK pools produced?<\/label><article class=\"ac-medium\" article_id=\"ac-category-1800\"><p>The Pools of the PoolsFACTORY are top quality products based on our newest GRACO machines and excellent materials manufactured by Ashland. The materials we use have appropriate certificates that guarantee their highest quality, which are also approved in many industries around the world, including the food industry. Products used are 100% safe for humans. From the same components arise e.g. drinking water tanks, fish ponds, yachts and planes. The secret of the quality of our products is the gelcoat. The gelcoat layer accounts for almost 60% of the quality of the final product. Gelcoat is a modified polyester resin with additives. The gelcoat is responsible for both: the aesthetics of the product at  purchase and while using it. The resistance of the gelcoat to aging, atmospheric and aggressive conditions, scratches, bumps and other mechanical damage determines the durability of the product. Detailed information about the gelcoat we use can be found on our homepage. The even application of gelcoats is possible only thanks to the first-class special machines in which our company has invested. Another layer under the gelcoat is isophthalic resin, which lies on a thin glass mat and additionally protects against the ingress of water into the basin. Each of these coatings lies on a construction layer that has better properties than metal. It consists of a high-quality construction resin, which in combination with a glass mat unfolds a sensational effect and makes the pool stable and durable. In contrast, the glass may be in the form of a mat, a glass cloth or a fiber bundle which is sprayed with a resin and a hardener. This is called rowing technology. The German industry leader in this technology is the company Wolfangel, whose machines we also use for the production of our products to put on a 100% quality. PoolsFACTORY Group Pools are among the most durable laminate pools in the world. This is also thanks to the use of CARBON ARAMID mats (also called carbon kevlar). We were one of the first in the market to introduce this technology into the manufacturing proces of our pools. Carbon fibers are even five times stronger than steel, and aramid fibers are used in the production of bulletproof vests. Starpool pools are reinforced with CARBON ARAMID mats in the critical areas, and exclusive pools are completely covered with Carbon Aramid.<\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1800\" data-postid=\"1800\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1800 themify_builder\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article><\/div><div class=\"bwl-faq-container bwl-faq-container-3565160339\" id=\"faq-1802\"><input id=\"ac-category-35651603391802\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-35651603391802\" label_id=\"ac-category-1802\" parent_container_id=\"3565160339\">Is it worth it to insure the pool?<\/label><article class=\"ac-medium\" article_id=\"ac-category-1802\"><p>A pool insurance is worth considering.

However, the technical edge is not part of the pool. It can be completely cut off after placing in the pit, and it is the that this edge is to be covered by the beach, for ex. by a curb. The technical edge is also not covered by the warranty, the cracks and scratches that occur during transportation, unloading or installation of the pool cannot be considered as a reason for a complaint, since the edge is aligned.

So if you do not want to mount the pool in the excavation, keep in mind that the type of installation above ground is exactly the same as in the excavation. What does that mean? Under the pool you have to prepare a concrete plate with reinforcement, and around the pool a concrete formwork should be made out of concrete blocks in which the concrete is poured between the pool wall and the concrete blocks. The pool stairs should also be underpinned.<\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1819\" data-postid=\"1819\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1819 themify_builder\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article><\/div><div class=\"bwl-faq-container bwl-faq-container-3759794207\" id=\"faq-1820\"><input id=\"ac-category-37597942071820\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-37597942071820\" label_id=\"ac-category-1820\" parent_container_id=\"3759794207\">How big must the excavation be?<\/label><article class=\"ac-medium\" article_id=\"ac-category-1820\"><p>The excavation for the pool should be about 60 to 80 cm larger than the upper outline of the selected pool model.

It protects the pool from unstable soil, micro-vibrations, landslides and prevents the occurrence of cracks in the bottom of the pool, which can occur after the tank is filled in with thousand litters of water. On a very dense ground you make a concrete foundation plate that is only 12 to 20 cm thick. The dimensions of the concrete plate are identical to the outer contour of the upper edge of the pool model. Here we will give some technical details. Use concrete class B20.

Cinsider the dimensions of the filtration vessel. The technical room should be bricked. Its min. dimensions are: 1 M x 1.5 M x 1.5 M, in the case of the basic equipment offered by our company. You can also buy a ready-made technical box or counterflow box. If the pool is located near the house or other utility room, the technical room may e.g. in: basement, garden shed or a pavilion. Then it is much more convenient, e.g. to operate the filtration.

However, it should be resistant to various weather conditions, such as for ex. Merbau.<br \/>\nWhen the pool is installed in the garden, ceramic tiles also work as a covering.<br \/>\nThe pool can also be surrounded by an area covered with grass.<br \/>\nLovers of rocky beaches can use various types of garden stone as for ex. white pebbles. But it is not the most comfortable surface and the stones can also fall into the pool.

In the skimmer there is a basket which \u201dcatches\u201d all larger impurities such: leaves, sticks and insects. Then the water flows with the remaining, smaller impurities to the filter, where a pre-filter, a second basket, collects the dirt. Both baskets should be cleaned regularly because the stocked contaminations may block the flow of water through the system, and this can damage the filtration device. After that the water flows from the pump into the filter and goes through the filtration medium, for example sand that filters out the remaining contaminants from the water. Clean and clear water returns then to the pool with the inlet nozzles.<\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1882\" data-postid=\"1882\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1882 themify_builder\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article><\/div><div class=\"bwl-faq-container bwl-faq-container-2798157518\" id=\"faq-1883\"><input id=\"ac-category-27981575181883\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-27981575181883\" label_id=\"ac-category-1883\" parent_container_id=\"2798157518\">How choose the right filtration for the pool?<\/label><article class=\"ac-medium\" article_id=\"ac-category-1883\"><p>To select the appropriate filter system, you must be taken into consideration, the distance to the pool and its capacity. Pay special attention to the available filter systems and their differences. For polyester we recommend filtrations with sand or glass insert. Sand filtration medium is quartz sand. These filtrations use a suction and pressure pump to take the water out of the pool and bring it into the filter, where impurities are \u201ctrapped\u201d by the grains of sand. They are often equipped with a basket that collects larger contaminants and thereby improves the effectiveness. Clean and clear water returns to the pool through the inlet nozzles. The filter should be cleaned regularly with help of the \"backwash function\" to avoid contamination, bacteria and fungi. After 2 years of use, the filtration medium should be exchanged completely. Glass filtrations contains filtration medium of glass. These filtrations function on the same principle as sand filtrations. The difference is that glass filtration medium have better cleaning properties. The best way to see the difference is the number of bacteria in 1 cubic centimetre. Glass granules contain only 10 bacteria, whereas in the sand this number grows to 2.5 million bacteria. Using a filtration system with glass insert can reduce water consumption and reduces the usage of pool chemical agents by a half. When choosing the filtration system, pay attention to the filtration pump. Their efficiency depends on the effectiveness and speed of water purification. The pool water should be circulated four times a day. Also very important is also the material from which the pump and the filtration tank is made.<\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1883\" data-postid=\"1883\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1883 themify_builder\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article><\/div><div class=\"bwl-faq-container bwl-faq-container-2798157518\" id=\"faq-1884\"><input id=\"ac-category-27981575181884\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-27981575181884\" label_id=\"ac-category-1884\" parent_container_id=\"2798157518\">How often should the filtration medium be exchanged?<\/label><article class=\"ac-medium\" article_id=\"ac-category-1884\"><p>The filtration medium should be replaced at least every two years. The frequency with which the filtration sand is exchanged depends on the dimensions of the pool and the size of the filtration.

You can choose between sand and an active filtration medium. Sand is the most commonly used filtration medium. There are different sand granulations.  An active glass filtration medium is much more efficient than sand. Its main advantages are: crystal clear water, less chlorine consumption, no chlorine smell, no pathogens, ecological and economical product. The filtration medium is replaced only every 8-10 years.<\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1887\" data-postid=\"1887\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1887 themify_builder\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article><\/div><div class=\"bwl-faq-container bwl-faq-container-2798157518\" id=\"faq-1888\"><input id=\"ac-category-27981575181888\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-27981575181888\" label_id=\"ac-category-1888\" parent_container_id=\"2798157518\">How long does the filtration has to run during the day?<\/label><article class=\"ac-medium\" article_id=\"ac-category-1888\"><p>The filtration should work the same as money 24\/h, regardless of whether the pool is used or not.

First, FILTER. The water is forced into the filtration and then passed through the filtration medium. The contaminations remain on the sand grains. So that the sand remains in the filter and only clean water flows into the pool. Filtrations can have the bottom covered with nozzles or a filtration star. In the star there are small tubes with narrow gaps that \u201chold\u201d the filtration sand. The second function is BACKWASH. After setting the 4-way valve in this position, the water is passed through the slotted tubes from below to the filter. The sand is then lifted and mixed, and the dirt can be removed from the sand grains. All impurities enter  directly into the sewage system. The CLOSED function  closes the entire water flow to the filter and the basin. Do not use this setting when filtration is turned on. The last function RINSE, allows the cleaning of the sand and to settle the sand at the bottom  after rinsing. In this position, the pool water flows through the filter and is discharged through an additional outlet directly into the sewage system.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1889\" data-postid=\"1889\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1889 themify_builder\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article><\/div><div class=\"bwl-faq-container bwl-faq-container-2798157518\" id=\"faq-1890\"><input id=\"ac-category-27981575181890\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-27981575181890\" label_id=\"ac-category-1890\" parent_container_id=\"2798157518\">What additional functions does a 6-way valve have?<\/label><article class=\"ac-medium\" article_id=\"ac-category-1890\"><p>A 6-way valve has two additional functions: CIRCULATION.

The right choice is determined, among other things, by the performance of the heating device (for ex. heating) and the pool capacity. The duration of heating and the power required for it can be calculated using the formula given below, taking into account the working parameters of each heat exchanger. The operating parameters of most heat exchangers are: Chlorine: Max. 3 mg \/ l (ppm), pH: 7.2-7.8, Alkalinity: 60-120 mg \/ l (ppm), Hardness: 200-1000 mg \/ l ( ppm). Theoretical calculation of the required heat output for the pool: P = 1.16 x T x V \/ t Theoretical calculation of the time required to heat the pool: t = 1.16 x T x V \/ P Example of calculating the time: Swimming pool 30 m , 5 C to 25 C with power 6 kW: t = 1.16 x (25-5) x 30\/6 = 116 hours P = power in kW; t = time in hours; T = temperature difference; 1.16 = fixed value; V = pool capacity.<\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1908\" data-postid=\"1908\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1908 themify_builder\">\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article><\/div><div class=\"bwl-faq-container bwl-faq-container-2798157518\" id=\"faq-1909\"><input id=\"ac-category-27981575181909\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-27981575181909\" label_id=\"ac-category-1909\" parent_container_id=\"2798157518\">How long does the heat exchanger has to be switched on ?<\/label><article class=\"ac-medium\" article_id=\"ac-category-1909\"><p>The operating time of the heat exchanger depends on its capacity, the pool capacity and desired water temperature.

Also check the water values such as:  chlorine levels, which should not exceed 0.6 on the test scale added to each pool set;  the water pH, which should be kept within 7.4 to 7.6. You should also clean the pool regularly with a manual, semi-automatic or automatic pool vacuum cleaner. The heart of each pool is the filtration system. The bigger the filter, the cleaner the water. If you always want to have clear water in the pool, the filtration system should work 24\/h, regardless of whether and if you are using the pool or not. If you are not using the pool, cover the water surface.

You can use a coagulant with a wide pH range. This reduces the turbidity of the water. The dissection causes the contaminants to pass into larger concentrations that can be \u201ccaptured\u201d by the filtration medium. Use a pool vacuum cleaner connected to the skimmer to remove larger debris that settles to the bottom of the pool. Important! The suction hose cannot contain air in order not to vent the pump! The filtration should always be set on: \"Filter \/ Filter\" during suction. After completing the work, switch the filtration function to \"Backwash \/ Backwash\". ATTENTION! Do not forget to switch off the pump before switching the filtration function on the multiway valve!

Styrodur should be laid on the surface of the concrete plate. Make sure the Styrodur layer is free from earth, sand, and rocks so you can safely place the basin on top of it. To unload the swimming pool, a crane with belts of at least 10 meters and a lifting height of at least 6 to 8 meters is required.

Another thing you should think about is the swimming pool model, that is:<\/p> <ul> <li>first, the shape of the basin (it can be a rectangular model with internal stairs, or a classic shape with Roman stairs, or modern with rectangular stairs)<\/li> <li>secondly, the type of stairs (for ex. small stairs used only for a comfortable descent to the pool, or stairs combined with seats or couches, enabling relaxation and rest in the pool).<\/li> <\/ul> <p>Selected solutions should blend in with the architecture and style of your home and garden.<\/p>\n <\/article><input id=\"ac-category-30439397171798\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-30439397171798\" label_id=\"ac-category-1798\" parent_container_id=\"3043939717\">What budget do I need to have to buy a pool?<\/label><article article_id=\"ac-category-1798\"><p>When planning the purchase of a pool, you need to consider several elements in the budget: <\/p> <ul> <li>First, the cost of purchasing a basin pool with basic equipment. At PoolsFACTORY GROUP, prices range from PLN 11175 to PLN 81700. The price depends on the quality and technology in which your swimming pool is manufactured. We offer 4 categories of pools, differing in price and quality. <\/li> <li>Second, the cost of purchasing additional equipment for your pool. Thanks to this, your swimming pool will be more functional and you will be able to use it for a longer period of the year.<br \/> The pool should be equipped, for example, with:<\/p> <ul> <li>lamps that will illuminate the water mirror in the evening and create a romantic atmosphere;<\/li> <li>a heat pump that will heat up the water so that you can enjoy the pool with all pleasure even on cooler days. Remember also that the water that will heat itself up on a hot day will cool down at night. So if you do not want to feel like at the Baltic Sea, invest in a heating device for your swimming pool. Heat pump prices start from PLN 3,999.<\/li> <li>You will also need a cover of the water surface. If the pool water already heats up, spontaneously or thanks to the heat pump, then after finishing using the pool, you need to cover the water surface to prevent it from getting cold. 90% of the heat losses is lost through the water surface. There are many ways to cover the pool starting with solar film, and ending at pool enclosures. The average cost of a solar film with a roller 1600 PLN. However, the prices of pool enclosure start from PLN 17996.<\/li> <li>If you dream of being in the swimming representation at the Olympics, it is worth to invest in a counter-current, i.e. a swimming machine. Thanks to it, you will be able to use the pool not only for rest and relaxation, but above all for everyday swimming sessions like in the Olympic swimming pool. The stream of water thrown at a speed of 55 to 70 m3 \/ h will allow you to swim on spot, despite the use of high force. Even the smallest pool equipped with this device will be able to satisfy your need for swimming, not just soaking in the pool. The prices of counter-currents start at PLN 4500.<\/li> <\/ul> <\/li> <li>The third point you should consider in the budget are the delivery costs to your place. The price depends on the pool size and the country it has to be transported. The rate per km starts from PLN 2,60 \/ km there and back. There is also the possibility of collecting your own pool by yourself.<\/li> <li>The fourth point to think of in the budget is the cost of a company that will make the excavation, prepare the concrete plate at its bottom and finally cover the pool with dry concrete and reinforce the pool stairs. You should also include the cost of an electrician and a plumber who will connect the hydraulic and electric installation of your pool. If you have the right knowledge and skills in the field of construction and hydraulics, then you can do the assembly yourself. The most expensive is the pool installation implemented by the so-called pool companies.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>The purchase and installation of a swimming pool is not everything. Remember also about daily exploitation of the pool, which mainly consists of: purchasing of pool chemicals and energy consumed by the entire installation. Depending on the use, pool equipment and its size monthly cost of pool maintenance varies between 200 and 800 PLN. <\/p>\n <\/article><input id=\"ac-category-30439397171799\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-30439397171799\" label_id=\"ac-category-1799\" parent_container_id=\"3043939717\">What pool manufacturing type to choose?<\/label><article article_id=\"ac-category-1799\"><p>The following options for building a swimming pool are available on the market: firstly, inflatable and set-up pools. If you are not sure if you want to have a swimming pool at all, then at the beginning you can consider this option. Remember, however, about some important aspects of having this type of pool:<\/p> <ul> <li>inflatable and set-up swimming pools are not durable and do not look professional<\/li> <li>they rather blemish than decorate the garden<\/li> <li>unstable construction<\/li> <li>hardly anyone can properly distribute them, and the improper stretching of the pool bottom causes it to collapse. If the bottom of the pool is not flat, its vacuuming is practically impossible. Which means that if you cannot clean you\u2019re the pool, you must empty all the warm water and fill in a fresh, cold one. This situation is repeated several times over the whole bathing season<\/li> <li>another weak point is the \u201camateur\u201d filtration system, based on a mini skimmer and a cartouche filter, i.e. a paper filter that is not able to clean the pool water in a professional way<\/li> <li>instead of stairs, thanks to which you can safely enter and exit the pool, they have an unstable ladder<\/li> <li>there is no places to relax in the pool as for ex. seats or couches<\/li> <li>purchasing an inflatable and inflatable pool, you often cannot count on professional advice or help<\/li> <li>the only advantage is the low price<\/li> <\/ul> <p><strong>The second pool type are steel pools covered with a special foil:<\/strong><\/p> <ul> <li>they are available only in 3 shapes ( circle, oval and eight-shape)<\/li> <li>this type of pools has no stairs, entry and exit is possible only using a ladder<\/li> <li>you will not relax on the seats or couches, because they simply do not exist<\/li> <li>the downside is also the foil that the pool must be lined up with. It is rarely located well, which results with unsightly wrinkles and the pool is very difficult to keep clean. The dirt gets under the folds and stays under them, precise vacuuming of the wrinkled bottom is practically impossible<\/li> <li>the straight angle between the walls of the pool and the bottom can lead to damages and unsealing of the pool as the water freezes in the wintertime<\/li> <li>installing steel swimming pools require making of retaining walls and that increases the costs. Additional, technical complications occur when installing an eight-shaped pool.<\/li> <li>installation of the steel pool is possible only on warm and sunny days, because the foil that the pool is lined with must be made at the right temperature during assembly<\/li> <\/ul> <p><strong>The third pool type is a polypropylene basin:<\/strong><br \/> The pool consists of welded polypropylene plates. Welds and joints are highly visible;<\/p> <p>The pool walls are very flexible and have a thickness of 0.6 to 1.5cm. Behind the walls there are reinforcements in the form of springs. These reinforcements become visible after filling the pool, which is caused by high water pressure on the walls;<\/p> <p>Polypropylene basins are difficult to assemble, especially the filling of the side walls which are very flexible and arch in the middle of the basin.<\/p> <p>Monolithic concrete pools and prefabricated concrete blocks are the fourth type of swimming pools they allow you to create a pool of any shape and size. Limited only by your imagination. Do you want to have a star shaped pool? No problem! There are several ways to complete such a pool - PVC film, ceramic or mosaic tiles, polyurea spray and paint.<\/p> <p>Remember that a pool of bricks, concrete blocks is not 100% tight. Therefore, the processing of the pool is limited only to the lining with PVC film. However, if you want to pour out a concrete pool, check the tightness before completing the pool by simply filling the pool with water and leaving it to stand for about 3 weeks. Worth knowing about concrete pools:<\/p> <ul> <li>They are the most expensive swimming pools and require a building permit, but they are also the most durable pools. When used properly, they serve many years;<\/li> <li>They are also expensive to carry out, e.g. the lining of a concrete basin with foil from 50 - 100 \u20ac \/ m2 and with mosaic stones from 100 - 400 \u20ac \/ m3<\/li> <li>The technology that completes the interior of the pool will determine its quality. For example, the inserted film is completely sealed, but welds are visible at the joints.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>The fifth and the last type of pools are polyester basins, also known as fiberglass:<\/p> <ul> <li>The construction of such a pool is monolith and supplied to you with basin elements already installed;<\/li> <li>It is a pool made of the same material as a small plane. Laminating technology makes it one of the most durable pools on the market. Among other things, GFRP is used in the manufacture of boats, yachts and just small aircraft;<\/li> <li>A special construction, with rounded corners at the point where the walls and floor of the pool connect, prevents freezing water in winter to create tension.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>These are not the only advantages of GFK Pools.<\/p> <ul> <li>There are no sharp edges;<\/li> <li>There are many models and sizes available in the market;<\/li> <li>They can be installed quickly and easily at any time of the year;<\/li> <li>A building permit is not necessary;<\/li> <li>Is the pool in this part of the garden no longer wanted? No problem, at any time you can dig out the pool and use it elsewhere, as it is not permanently connected to the ground.<\/li> <li>The polyester pool is also easy to clean. Thanks to the smooth surface you can easily remove impurities;<\/li> <li>You can order a pool in any RAL colour;<\/li> <li>You can also renew the coating and install any elements;<\/li> <li>Such basins are already factory-insulated with a polyurethane foam layer;<\/li> <li>You will not find a cheaper version of a built-in basin than a GFK pool.<\/li> <\/ul>\n <\/article><input id=\"ac-category-30439397171800\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-30439397171800\" label_id=\"ac-category-1800\" parent_container_id=\"3043939717\">In which technology are the GFK pools produced?<\/label><article article_id=\"ac-category-1800\"><p>The Pools of the PoolsFACTORY are top quality products based on our newest GRACO machines and excellent materials manufactured by Ashland. The materials we use have appropriate certificates that guarantee their highest quality, which are also approved in many industries around the world, including the food industry. Products used are 100% safe for humans. From the same components arise e.g. drinking water tanks, fish ponds, yachts and planes. The secret of the quality of our products is the gelcoat. The gelcoat layer accounts for almost 60% of the quality of the final product. Gelcoat is a modified polyester resin with additives. The gelcoat is responsible for both: the aesthetics of the product at purchase and while using it. The resistance of the gelcoat to aging, atmospheric and aggressive conditions, scratches, bumps and other mechanical damage determines the durability of the product. Detailed information about the gelcoat we use can be found on our homepage. The even application of gelcoats is possible only thanks to the first-class special machines in which our company has invested. Another layer under the gelcoat is isophthalic resin, which lies on a thin glass mat and additionally protects against the ingress of water into the basin. Each of these coatings lies on a construction layer that has better properties than metal. It consists of a high-quality construction resin, which in combination with a glass mat unfolds a sensational effect and makes the pool stable and durable. In contrast, the glass may be in the form of a mat, a glass cloth or a fiber bundle which is sprayed with a resin and a hardener. This is called rowing technology. The German industry leader in this technology is the company Wolfangel, whose machines we also use for the production of our products to put on a 100% quality. PoolsFACTORY Group Pools are among the most durable laminate pools in the world. This is also thanks to the use of CARBON ARAMID mats (also called carbon kevlar). We were one of the first in the market to introduce this technology into the manufacturing proces of our pools. Carbon fibers are even five times stronger than steel, and aramid fibers are used in the production of bulletproof vests. Starpool pools are reinforced with CARBON ARAMID mats in the critical areas, and exclusive pools are completely covered with Carbon Aramid.<\/p>\n <\/article><input id=\"ac-category-30439397171802\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-30439397171802\" label_id=\"ac-category-1802\" parent_container_id=\"3043939717\">Is it worth it to insure the pool?<\/label><article article_id=\"ac-category-1802\"><p>A pool insurance is worth considering.

So that the basin is mounted in a pit. That means equal with the garden ground, it can also be placed on the ground in the garden. In both cases, however, the basin must be completely biuld in. So if you do not want to mount the pool in the excavation, keep in mind that the type of installation above ground is exactly the same as in the excavation. What does that mean? Under the pool you have to prepare a concrete plate with reinforcement, and around the pool a concrete formwork should be made out of concrete blocks in which the concrete is poured between the pool wall and the concrete blocks. The pool stairs should also be underpinned.<\/p>\n <\/article><input id=\"ac-category-20901486521820\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-20901486521820\" label_id=\"ac-category-1820\" parent_container_id=\"2090148652\">How big must the excavation be?<\/label><article article_id=\"ac-category-1820\"><p>The excavation for the pool should be about 60 to 80 cm larger than the upper outline of the selected pool model. To determine the excavation depth, add together the following measures: thickness of the concrete plate, thickness of the styrodur, total height of the basin and material height from which the pool edge is to be formed (for ex. curb, paving stones, wood). Here it must also be decided whether the technical edge of the pool should be exposed or, for example, covered with curbs. We recommend to cover the technical edge.

It protects the pool from unstable soil, micro-vibrations, landslides and prevents the occurrence of cracks in the bottom of the pool, which can occur after the tank is filled in with thousand litters of water. On a very dense ground you make a concrete foundation plate that is only 12 to 20 cm thick. The dimensions of the concrete plate are identical to the outer contour of the upper edge of the pool model. Here we will give some technical details. Use concrete class B20. Reinforcement should be according to the information given on the screen. It has to be noticed that a solid foundation, also determines the durability of a swimming pool.<\/p>\n <\/article><input id=\"ac-category-20901486521824\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-20901486521824\" label_id=\"ac-category-1824\" parent_container_id=\"2090148652\">Why do I have to put Styrodur on the concrete plate under the pool?<\/label><article article_id=\"ac-category-1824\"><p>The concrete late has various small bumps that need to be balanced. That's why you put styrodur on the plate. Without the styrodur rubbing of the pool floor on the concrete plate after a period of time could cause damage the pool bottom. In addition, it insulates the bottom of the pool.<\/p>\n <\/article><input id=\"ac-category-20901486521825\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-20901486521825\" label_id=\"ac-category-1825\" parent_container_id=\"2090148652\">Does the styrodur has to cover the entire surface of the concrete plate?<\/label><article article_id=\"ac-category-1825\"><p>The styrodur must be placed under the entire surface of the pool. It is good if the styrodur is also slightly protrude beyond the concrete plate bodrer. Then it is ensured that the entire bottom of the pool stands on the styrodur. The only exception is the area where the stairs should be underpinned. We recommend carrying out the underlayment of the stairs directly on the concrete plate.<\/p>\n <\/article><input id=\"ac-category-20901486521826\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-20901486521826\" label_id=\"ac-category-1826\" parent_container_id=\"2090148652\">Can the stairs be underpinned before the pool is delivered?<\/label><article article_id=\"ac-category-1826\"><p>This should not be done. It is best to underpin the stairs only after setting the pool in the excavation. The stairs can be checked for evenness and then be underpinned. It should be noted that the steps have different radii, curves and depths, so it is impossible to perform correct underpin before pool delivery.<\/p>\n <\/article><input id=\"ac-category-20901486521827\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-20901486521827\" label_id=\"ac-category-1827\" parent_container_id=\"2090148652\">What is the technical edge?<\/label><article article_id=\"ac-category-1827\"><p>Our pools are manufactured by hand, so the height of the technical edge can vary from 3 to 7 cm. However, this is unimportant for a correct installation of the swimming pool. If you want the pool border to get under the technical edge, you should consider this during the excavation so that it has the proper depth. If the edge is too high, it can be cut off. The technical edge, as the name implies, is only needed during the transport and installation phase of the pool. It is not a decoration element of the pool and we recommend to cover it completely.<\/p>\n <\/article><input id=\"ac-category-20901486521828\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-20901486521828\" label_id=\"ac-category-1828\" parent_container_id=\"2090148652\">Well or tap water?

You can also buy a ready-made technical box or counterflow box. If the pool is located near the house or other utility room, the technical room may e.g. in: basement, garden shed or a pavilion. Then it is much more convenient, e.g. to operate the filtration. Important, if the pool is equipped with a counter current, the pump of the counter current must be located just behind the pool, that means, behind the front panel of the counter current. That means it will have to prepare a space for the facility just behind the pool wall.

Then the water flows with the remaining, smaller impurities to the filter, where a pre-filter, a second basket, collects the dirt. Both baskets should be cleaned regularly because the stocked contaminations may block the flow of water through the system, and this can damage the filtration device. After that the water flows from the pump into the filter and goes through the filtration medium, for example sand that filters out the remaining contaminants from the water.

Pay special attention to the available filter systems and their differences. For polyester we recommend filtrations with sand or glass insert. Sand filtration medium is quartz sand. These filtrations use a suction and pressure pump to take the water out of the pool and bring it into the filter, where impurities are \u201ctrapped\u201d by the grains of sand. They are often equipped with a basket that collects larger contaminants and thereby improves the effectiveness. Clean and clear water returns to the pool through the inlet nozzles. The filter should be cleaned regularly with help of the \"backwash function\" to avoid contamination, bacteria and fungi. After 2 years of use, the filtration medium should be exchanged completely. Glass filtrations contains filtration medium of glass. These filtrations function on the same principle as sand filtrations. The difference is that glass filtration medium have better cleaning properties. The best way to see the difference is the number of bacteria in 1 cubic centimetre. Glass granules contain only 10 bacteria, whereas in the sand this number grows to 2.5 million bacteria. Using a filtration system with glass insert can reduce water consumption and reduces the usage of pool chemical agents by a half. When choosing the filtration system, pay attention to the filtration pump. Their efficiency depends on the effectiveness and speed of water purification. The pool water should be circulated four times a day.

First, FILTER. The water is forced into the filtration and then passed through the filtration medium. The contaminations remain on the sand grains. So that the sand remains in the filter and only clean water flows into the pool. Filtrations can have the bottom covered with nozzles or a filtration star. In the star there are small tubes with narrow gaps that \u201chold\u201d the filtration sand. The second function is BACKWASH. After setting the 4-way valve in this position, the water is passed through the slotted tubes from below to the filter. The sand is then lifted and mixed, and the dirt can be removed from the sand grains. All impurities enter directly into the sewage system. The CLOSED function closes the entire water flow to the filter and the basin. Do not use this setting when filtration is turned on. The last function RINSE, allows the cleaning of the sand and to settle the sand at the bottom after rinsing. In this position, the pool water flows through the filter and is discharged through an additional outlet directly into the sewage system. <\/p>\n <\/article><input id=\"ac-category-325068881890\" name=\"accordion-1\" type=\"checkbox\" \/><label for=\"ac-category-325068881890\" label_id=\"ac-category-1890\" parent_container_id=\"32506888\">What additional functions does a 6-way valve have?<\/label><article article_id=\"ac-category-1890\"><p>A 6-way valve has two additional functions: CIRCULATION.

You should also clean the pool regularly with a manual, semi-automatic or automatic pool vacuum cleaner. The heart of each pool is the filtration system. The bigger the filter, the cleaner the water. If you always want to have clear water in the pool, the filtration system should work 24\/h, regardless of whether and if you are using the pool or not. If you are not using the pool, cover the water surface.
