Plumbing for Swimming Pools
It is important to
set up the plumbing of a swimming pool in just
the right way. In order to do this, there is a
lot of planning involved.
There are many things to
be considered before you even start. However,
careful planning at the very beginning of the
process ensures that you will be able to enjoy
your pool with cool, clean water for a long time
to come.
The Ins and Outs of Swimming Pool Plumbing
There are two important factors to consider in
swimming pool plumbing: water circulation and
water filtration. One thing that makes swimming
pool plumbing slightly easier than other
plumbing jobs is that it is self-contained and
therefore not connected to a larger plumbing
system. Thus, you don't have to worry about
drawing and disposing of water. You only need to
worry about that when you initially fill the
pool or if you have a backwash problem and need
to drain it.
Here is how swimming pool plumbing basically
works: A system of pumps draws the water out of
the pool through drains and skimmers. The water
goes through a filter to clean it. The water
next goes through a heater or cooler to adjust
the temperature. Finally, the water is sent back
into the pool. There is a separate piping system
for returning the water back into the pool.
You can pretty much build a swimming pool
anywhere above the ground floor of a building.
The plumbing system for the pool can be set up
however it is most suitable. For this kind of
swimming pool set up, you definitely need a
professional plumber to do that job. This is not
a do-it-yourself job by any means. It has to be
done absolutely right. The same goes for almost
all kinds of swimming pool plumbing
installations.
Important Things to Remember about Swimming
Pool Plumbing
The filter and pump you will need for the
swimming pool depend on how much water will be
in the pool. The correct set up is very
important because all the water has to be
circulated completely through the system at
least twice a day to ensure clean, sanitary
water.
Swimming pools have their own particular
specialized pipes used in their plumbing
systems. PVC pipes, for example, are typically
used for swimming pool plumbing. The pipes have
to be just the right kind and every little
detail even down to the valves and fittings must
be perfect. There should always be a few extra
skimmers and drains in case of clogging. This
way there will always be the right amount of
circulation in the water, no matter what
happens.
