Are the administrative steps heavy ?
No but some constraints may exist.
- In town hall you must make sure that the occupation plan of grounds (P.O.S) does not restrict you in the selected area. Please also check that your place of dwelling is not located in a classified site.
- If your project of swimming pool concerns,
- an external swimming pool of more than 100m²
- an interior swimming pool.
- Construction of a technical local of more than 20m²
- If your project relates to a swimming pool buried in the open air of more than 100m², you must deposit a declaration of work near your town hall.
- Don?t forget to warn your insurer who by an endorsement with your contract will protect you from the risks of a possible accident.
Recall: You must equip your swimming pool with a normalized protection system.
By building my swimming pool will I weigh down my taxes ?
You are in the obligation of declaring your swimming pool because the latter will be subjugated with the land tax and the tax of dwelling.
Where do I have to build my swimming pool ?
This stage is of primary importance and requires a long reflexion. You must hold account of the following factors :
- the agreement during long years.
- the sun.
- the pollution of environment.
- dominant winds.
- sight of the neighbouring.
- facilities of access.
- monitoring of the children.
- heating of water.
Which form and which dimension do I have to choose ?
There are no standards on the matter, only common sense. You must ask yourself the following questions. .
- Swimming pool leisure or sporting swimming pool ?
- How to integrate it at best in my environment ?
- To define a budget.
- To hold sedentary account of the security aspect.
A rectangular swimming pool of form with a staircase in end of swimming pool will enable you to lay out an automatic cover. - To hold family account of the aspect.
A flat-bottomed swimming pool- more comfortable No freshness on the shoulders.
- More convivial To play with family or friends.
- Safer The adults have feet.
- More surprising The sedentary dives are possible.
- Easier A facilitated maintenance.
- More economic Reheating of water.
- Simpler To build it oneself.
Do I have to choose one period to make build my swimming pool ?
The swimming pools are built all throughout the year, you just have to pay attention according to areas to freezing prohibiting to run a swimming pool.
However and taking into account the strong period of activity from March to July, it is sometimes interesting to start in autumn or winter to make enable your ground to stabilize itself before the installation of terraces and the turfing.
Attention, a serious builder must honour his order book, you must take that into account while deciding yourself in advance and not waiting for the last moment.
The more Mondial Piscine.
Our system of peripheral chutes, makes it possible to immediately pose curbstones on a support interdependent of the swimming pool.
Thus you can wait to carry out your terrace while benefitting from the esthetism of your swimming pool.
How do I have to do to preserve limpid and healthy water ?
To maintain water limpid and healthy is not complicated, it is enough to simply control some concepts and to take the necessary time.
The water of swimming pool is treated by a physical action related to a system of filtration and by various treatments allowing the disinfection of water.
Finally it is advisable to know three elements from which the balance of your water depends :
- The pH this is the potential of hydrogene. It must range between 7.2 and 7.4.
- The TACRelates to the content bicarbonates and carbonates. Essential for the stability of the pH.
- The TH Relates to the content calcium and out of magnesium is in practice the limestone of the water (hardness).
Which are the stages which I must imperatively respect to maintain my water ?
The 8 essential stages to maintain water limpid and healthy :
- To maintain the balance of water.
With the setting in water, your builder will explain to you that the balance of water depends on three elements: the pH, TAC, TH (see question about how to preserve a water) a table known as of Taylor allows to determine the desired combination of these three elements.
You must simply have in mind that a weak TAC can lead to many variations of the pH and that a TH ignored generates risks of scaling problems. - To adjust your pH .
By maintaining a pH between 7.2 and 7.4 you will profit :- of an ideal comfort in the bathe.
- of an optimization of disinfecting (on this level chlorine is active to 60/65%).
- the flocculating agent used to improve the performance of the sand filter will function better.
- To disinfect your water
Be careful, a clear water doesn?t necessarily mean it is healthy.
That?s why it is advisable to fight effectively against the pathogenic germs and the micro organizations which are at the origin of the infections of water.
You must thus choose a disinfecting, respect the amounts and the periodicity necessary. - To carry out a regular cleaning of your system of filtration.
To ensure regularly of the pressure on the pressure gauge to check that the filter is not clogged. - To improve the performances of your sand filter by a flocculation.
Flocculation makes it possible to gather the finest suspended particles on the water. The block thus formed, will represent a sufficient size to be retained by the filter. - To clean your line of water regularly.
It?s a place favourable of the development of pathogenic germs and of algeas. Attention, it is imperative to use professional products. - To prevent the developments of algeas.
- To respect the time of filtration.
We advise you to buy products of quality for the treatment of your water.
How to heat my swimming pool as well as possible ?
It?s by associating a direct action on the situation of the swimming pool (protection of the wind, optimal exposure with respect to the sun?), by adding adapted heating equipment and a protection (so to avoid heat loss) that you will obtain the best results.
Covering your swimming pool in the evening by an isothermic cover or an automatic cover will ensure you to preserve until 3 at 4° C of heat. Be carreful certain covers do not answer to the safety requirements.
Various equipment are available to heat your swimming pool.
When we have to winter and how to proceed ?
At the end of the season, it is necessary to winter your swimming pool as soon as the temperature of the water is lower than 14°C.
- To clean your filter.
- To lower the level of the water.
- To treat the water.
- Protect the hydraulic system and the equipment from the technical room.
- To pose stoppers and floats of wintering.
- To cover the swimming pool with a device (protected to the standards) allowing the water rain to pass.
- To pour products of wintering (attention with compatibilities between products of summer and products of winter).
- To check that the too full is in operating condition.
Warning, do not to empty the swimming pool too much (risk of rising if there isn?t a well of decompression).
Not to forget that the water is the best guard of the coating of the swimming pool.
You can choose not to winter, in this case you must take the following precautions :
To maintain a filtration 2 to 3 hours per day and to equip your filtration with a thermostat antifreeze starting filtration automatically uninterrupted as soon as the temperature is around zero.
Attention however with the areas where the intense cold lasts a long time.
Why do I have to equip my swimming pool with floats in case of wintering ?
The float has as an essential function to absorb the pushes of the ice formed on the surface of the swimming pool.
In this manner at the time of the formation of the ice, this one exerts a pressure on the floats and not on the walls.
Generally, one lays them out on the diagonal of the basin.
According to the temperature in force during the winter, it is sometimes judicious to place them over a length and a width.
In the case of a swimming pool with overflow, or mirror, not to forget to have the floats in the vat plug.
Which average budget do I have to devote to the maintainance ?
Calculation of the requirements out of water.
By various actions like (wintering, washings of the filter, the bathe, the evaporation?), one generally considers that they should renew between 30 to 50% of the volume of the water.
Let us take the example on 50% of 75m³ (swimming pool of 10 x5) what gives about 40m³.
| 40 x 2.90 (average price including all taxes of the m³ of water) | 116 euros including all taxes |
Calculation of the requirements in products.
| Chlorinate multi actions | 2 X 10kg | 124 euros |
| Chlorinate shock in pellets | 5 kg | 47 euros |
| Flocculating | 2 x 5 liters | 22 euros |
| Cleaner of line of water | 1 liter | 8 euros |
| Scaling filter with sand | 1 kg | 5 euros |
| pH minus | 10 kg | 19 euros |
| Anti calcareous | 5 liters | 14 euros |
| wintering | 5 liters | 20 euros |
| TOTAL | 259 euros including all taxes | |
Calculation of the cost of the electricity.
The mode of calculation is made on the basis of 0.11 euro including all taxes the consumed kWh
Knowing :
| 1 pump of ¾ cv | = 0.550 kwh app |
| 1 pump of 1cv | = 0.750 kwh app |
| 1 pump of 1,5cv | = 1.1 kwh app |
Considering an average of filtration over 6 months of 8 hours per day
| 1 pump of ¾ cv | = 87 euros including all taxes |
| 1 pump of 1cv | = 118 euros including all taxes |
| 1 pump of 1,5cv | = 174 euros including all taxes |
That is to say a total
| With pump of | ¾ cv |
| Water | 116 euros |
| Products | 259 euros |
| Electricity | 87 euros |
| Total | 462 euros including all taxes |
The estimation is made for a swimming pool of 75 m³ (10m X 5m) and for a 6 months operation in the year (mid-April until mid-October).
