TIPS BEFORE BUYING A REMOVABLE POOL

When buying a removable pool, it is necessary to be aware of some precautions that must be taken in order to avoid possible inconveniences buy pool plans. For this reason, we have prepared this brief guide so that when you purchase your removable pool you are very well informed.

The ground chosen to install the removable pool must be FIRM and RESISTANT, we must not install the pool on balconies/terraces, soft or filled ground. The ground must be strictly LEVEL and SMOOTH (it must not have holes, weeds, roots or stones that could pierce the liner).

For the installation it is advisable to have two or three adults, choose a day without wind and that the heat is not excessive (first thing in the morning or mid-afternoon). The duration of the installation will depend on the size of the pool.

Remember that a pool with 1,000 liters = 1 cubic meter = 1,000 Kg.

Choice of Place of Location.

We must choose a sunny area near a water intake (to fill the pool) and near a drain (to empty the pool) and near an electrical outlet (to connect the treatment plant). On the ground there should be no underground connections for water, gas or electricity. An area without flood irrigation in case of rain. It should not be installed under power lines and an area sheltered from the wind and without trees is advisable (leaves and pollen dirty the water).

Preparation of the installation site.

Once the place of installation has been chosen, we have two options.

  1. A) Carry out the installation on a concrete or cement platform that is perfectly level and smooth (RECOMMENDED).
  2. B) We can install it on the ground taking the precautions detailed below:

 

  1. – Mark the space that we will use for the installation of the removable pool. We have to bear in mind that it is advisable to leave at least 50 cm around the pool, and in the case of oval/rectangular pools this distance can reach up to 1 meter due to the reinforcements.

To do this you will need as tools: Screwdriver, rope, funnel and flour.

  1. – Level the land that we are going to use, we must not add land where it is lacking, but remove it where it is left over. We will clean of stones, roots, etc, and we will compact the earth until it is solid and level.

The necessary tools are: Hoe, shovel, level.

  1. – Finishing: Once the surface is prepared, we will spread a layer of fine sifted sand (maximum 1 cm thick) and we will water it to compact it. We will check again that the ground is level.

The necessary tools will be, water, garden roller, level, shovel, sifted sand.
