A pool, but not just any!
Want a little dip? To face a heat wave, it is still nice to have a swimming pool behind your home. You've thought about it for a long time, and today you've decided, like a growing number of people in our region, to install a pond in your garden. But what to choose? Editus.lu HOME has decided to give you some very useful tips to make your swimming pool project a success.
For a good dive, the right dimensions
Pools, there are all the jigs, all shapes. Before you decide on one or other pool, think carefully about your project so that it integrates in the best manners your external arrangements. Do you prefer an oval, elliptical or rectangular pool? It could also be square or octagonal, on several levels, buried or not. Everything is possible. Do you just want to wade or do you want to give your children the opportunity to dive inside? The depth of the basin depends on it.
Note again that the cost and time required to heat the water will depend on its capacity. A long and vast basin can quickly become a financial pitfall. An Olympic pool is not necessarily necessary. Today, various options, for example to create a current against which to swim, allow you to spend as an athlete without pushing the boundaries of the pool.
A swimming pool that integrates with the style of the garden and the house
Beyond the shape and dimensions of your pool, it is possible to integrate it in the best way to the style of the garden and your home. The color of the pool and the type of materials that surround it will give your facility the cachet it deserves.
We can think of a teak or wooden floor, in agreement with your terrace. Or stones at the edge of the pool, which will remind those of your facade.
Think about security
A pool of water, more or less deep, always involves a risk. This is especially true if children enjoy the garden freely. From the beginning, and so that the pool is not a source of permanent concern, it is important to think about everyone's safety. This involves the installation of safety barriers, especially for small children. Install particularly at the deepest parts of the pond, where the cubs will not stand. Do not let, however, ever have your kids play around the pool unattended.
Around the basin, install non-slip materials or mats to help prevent unfortunate falls. We will also make sure to have an automatic pool cover, for times when you can not watch its users. Security standards exist in Europe. Be sure to choose a manufacturer that meets these standards. We can not overemphasize the security features. Do not neglect them.
Do not forget the interview
A pool, it gets dirty. It must therefore be maintained. A good pool cover, first of all, must allow to prevent dirt from settling on the surface of the water. Note that a round pool avoids the accumulation of deposits in the corners. You have to think about it, if you do not want to spend your time scouring it. This greatly facilitates maintenance.
Also think of your local maintenance. Sheltered from the weather, housing a possible boiler, heat pumps, filters or the chlorine dispenser or pH, it must be easy to access.
Choose a trusted installer
A pool is always a significant investment, installation and use and for its maintenance. It is essential, when making your choice, to be well informed. The installer and manufacturer you choose should be able to provide you with all the necessary guarantees, as well as answers to all your questions. Their experience in time and their references are a guarantee of confidence.
Do not hesitate, also, to inform you with acquaintances who already have a swimming pool to get a better idea of the expenses inherent to the use and the time that it needs maintenance all along the year.
Make sure you have local after-sales service
A pool requires special attention in order to avoid problems. Next to the pool, there is a boiler to maintain, filters to change and a number of items to watch. And because no one is safe from a breakdown or a small technical problem, it's important to be able to rely on a reliable partner nearby. Ensure after-sales warranties and prompt technical support when needed.
Based on these few recommendations, you can now embark on your project to create or acquire a pool. Soon, no doubt, you can splash without leaving your garden.
