How to fold the pool?

The pool in any home requires regular maintenance, no matter how big or how many people use it. If you want the structure to serve for a longer time, after the end of the bathing season, you must take care of its condition by doing all the cleaning procedures and preparing for storage until next year.

Before you start cleaning the pool, regardless of the type of the structure itself, you must definitely prepare in advance. Pre-select a quiet, warm, windless day or even 2 days and start working.

In the process of using such a reservoir, plaque forms inside, therefore, it is advisable to combine the drainage of water from the pool with mechanical cleaning with a non-aggressive detergent.

After the bowl is completely dry, limescale deposits may remain in places. It is advisable to remove it immediately, but not with hard abrasive tools. - to avoid the risk of damage to the pool material. At the end of all the procedures done, we prepare the product for folding.

In order for the pool to be used for more than one season, the bowl itself must be properly dismantled, folded and removed for winter storage. As for the frame structures, they will have to be assembled and disassembled depending on the season. But the service life of the swimming tank depends on how well this procedure is carried out. So, after the preparation (washing) of the PVC bowl itself, we proceed to the analysis of the structure. Dismantling the equipment begins with the following steps:

• remove parts, wash, be sure to dry;
• plug all existing holes;
• it is advisable to number the components so as not to get confused later.

When all the elements have been removed one by one, put together (to avoid loss) and packed, we proceed to folding the bowl sheet. A product that is different in shape is cleaned in different ways:

Rectangular shape is laid out exactlyso that there are no wrinkles left, and fold the edges on both sides to make a square. Then the edges are folded towards the center until the sides coincide and lie on top of each other. Next, the edges of the product are brought to the middle and laid in half until a small square is obtained in the finished form.

The round pool version is more difficult to fold. In this case, it will not work to roll up the edges without forming folds, therefore the walls of the prepared canvas are laid to the middle from the inside. The finished circle is folded in half. The resulting semicircle must be folded 2 more times in half. The result is a triangle.

With an inflatable pool, the preparation procedure is slightly different. In this case, you need:

• drain the water by opening the valve;
• rinse the inside from dirt, which is much easier compared to the frame structure, since no chemicals are used in the inflatable (in this option, soft materials with non-alkaline cleaners must be used for washing);
• then it is required to dry the inside and outside, wiping off all the wrinkles;
• then you should release the air by opening the valve;
• in the event that the pool is large, such a process can take a long time, then a special pump can be used to release air more quickly;
• and you can start folding the pool without leaving folds and creases, after sprinkling with talcum powder (from sticking during storage);
• finally roll up and pack.

Before storing your swimming pool, you need to think about where the product will be stored. The most suitable for such a case are closed heated rooms, which can be:

• pantries;
• garage territory;
• attic rooms.

But if the area of ​​the living space is limited or there are problems with transportation, then the owner can choose just a covered space for storage.

It is also important that the space in which the folded pool bowl will be stored should not be accessible for pets and rodents (in order to avoid damaging the canvas). The packaging itself must not be cluttered with heavy objects, so that creases do not form and the material "breathes". It is advisable to use the same packaging material that was originally provided.

Compliance with all these rules will allow you to use such a swimming pool for the longest possible amount of time, delighting its owners.
