How to assemble and install a frame pool?

A full-fledged summer vacation in a country house implies the presence of not only clean air and healthy nutrition, but also the mandatory presence of a reservoir. The maximum pleasure, of course, can be obtained from swimming in natural rivers and lakes, the number of which is limited, and many people simply do not have free access to water. However, there is an alternative - artificial reservoirs that can be installed near the house. When choosing a pool, manufacturers recommend paying attention to frame models, which have a large area and a high level of reliability, but their installation requires a certain amount of knowledge and professional skills.

Correct installation of the pool is the key to a comfortable stay and its long-term operation. On the shelves of specialized stores, you can see the following models of frame pools:

• rod - structure with stiffening ribs;

• sheet - products, the edges of which are made of a solid sheet of metal;

• frost-resistant - robust construction, the service life of which exceeds 15 years, a distinctive feature is the presence of a skimmer and a pipeline;

• seasonal - lightweight and flexible design, which is equipped with a replaceable cartridge.

A competent choice of a site is a guarantee of the operation of the tank with a minimum number of problems and difficulties. Experts recommend paying attention to the following recommendations:

• the close laying of communications and water pipes will greatly facilitate the process of maintaining the system and reduce financial costs for laying and installing a new supply;
• to avoid flooding of outbuildings in the event of a breakthrough in the protective shell, it is better to locate the pool as far as possible from the house;
• the absence of trees, shrubs and tall flowers in the area of ​​the reservoir will help reduce the frequency of cleaning and changing filters;
• it is undesirable to install the structure on an old base, which may not only not correspond to the size of the product, but also quickly collapse under the influence of a large mass of water;
• a container with a large amount of water must be located below the level of the main sites and buildings;
• it is strictly forbidden to equip a reservoir on loose and moving soils, which are prone to the formation of landslides and creeping of the soil;
• the recreation area must be located as far as possible from railways and highways;
• the selected site must be protected from strong wind currents and drafts, and also have protective fences.

Before proceeding with the installation of the structure, it is necessary to determine its exact location with the help of pegs and ropes, and outline the boundaries of the future site with bright paint. An important feature is that the selected area should be 30 cm larger on each side than the pool area.

Experts recommend completely removing the top layer to a depth of at least 15 cm, and when creating a substrate, dig a hole of the required depth.

The simplest and most popular type of substrate is sand, on top of which pieces of propylene or geotextile are laid.

In order to preserve the integrity of the territory, experts recommend creating a special wooden podium. This design is ideal for small pools.

Manufacturing technology:

• installation of a podium of boards and pallets with a height of at least 30 mm;
• installation of support bars;
• collection of the structure;
• surface grinding and rounding of all sharp corners.

And also the base can be filled with concrete, covered with linoleum or tiled. The choice of the type of foundation depends on the volume of the pool, the planned period of operation and the intensity of the use of the reservoir.

Before you start assembling the product with your own hands, you must carefully examine it and make sure that there are no mechanical damages and defects. If even the slightest deviations were found, it is necessary to return the product or exchange it for a product without defects.

It is strictly forbidden to install reservoirs in areas with an uneven surface.

The stages of the installation of the reservoir, as well as the technology of the work, depend on the shape of the product.

Installation of a round structure in the country will take less time, effort and consists of the following steps:

• fixing the parts of the hoop in special holes on the film;
• connection of parts with tees;
• film tension;
• installation of additional elements.

Installation of square and rectangular reservoirs is a more complex process, which requires the required amount of knowledge and experience. The first stage of the installation work is the installation of vertical parts using a special building level. The installation of the structure must be carried out in strict accordance with the attached drawings. After determining the location of the racks, it is imperative to fix them. To give rigidity to the walls of the structure, many models require the installation of rigid sheets in the pockets of the canvas, and only then its tension and final installation are possible.

To carry out the highest quality installation, experts recommend that work be carried out only in dry, warm and calm weather. Drafts and strong currents of air masses will not only complicate the process of performing work, but can also lead to mechanical damage to the canvas.

It is possible to simplify the process of moving from the pool by assembling the ladder before unrolling the wall-sheet, during the installation of which it is necessary to monitor the location of the nozzle, return and skimmer. Use a special screwdriver to pinch the holes in the sheet. For gluing and fixing to the wall of the geotextile fabric, craftsmen recommend using ordinary construction tape.

The process of installing a cup bag should consist of the following steps:

• location inside the frame;
• fastening to the walls;
• straightening the liners with a set of a small amount of water;
• fixation around the perimeter.

An ordinary household vacuum cleaner can be an assistant in ensuring the ideal adhesion of the material to the frame, with the help of which it is necessary to pump out air through the nozzle of the check valve, having previously glued the skimmer with adhesive tape.

This is an important stage in the installation process of the structure, on the correctness of which the quality of the water depends, as well as the reliability of the purification system. The technology for mounting the filter and skimmer depends on whether it is a hinged device or built-in.

This is especially true for built-in models. Installation of attachments takes no more than 30 minutes and will not cause difficulties even for inexperienced craftsmen.

To install built-in devices, you need to calculate the filling level of the bowl and attach the device. For fixing, it is permissible to use only original fastening devices; in some cases, you may need waterproof glue. The final stages of assembling the filtration system are to completely fill the tank with water and check the device for leaks.

In order for bathing in an artificial reservoir to bring only positive emotions and joy, experts recommend paying special attention not only to the selection and installation of the product, but also to its preparation for use. The instructions of most manufacturers contain complete information on the rules for using and cleaning the product., as well as a complete list of chemicals that are acceptable to use.

After mechanical cleaning, the walls of the structure should be treated with a preparation that prevents water bloom. After a few hours, you can start filling the bowl with water while measuring the hardness level.

A mandatory procedure is the treatment of water with chlorine, as well as the addition of disinfectants and algicides. In order to remove excess chlorine, it is imperative to use flocculants, which will turn chlorine into air flakes. After the white clots emerge to the surface, you can simply fish them out with a net.

After all the conditions are met, experts recommend passing the water through filters several times and bringing it to a comfortable bathing temperature.
