Improving the filtering effect
The retaining capacity of your filter unit is given by the size of silica sand grains, used in the filter.
Replace sand with Zelbrite filtration medium, which has several times greater surface area of grains and can capture finer particles. It also captures nitrates contained in the water. It will save you resources and improve the purity of water.
More tips for better pool maintenance
Quality and good looks - what more could you want from a pool. Perhaps only make a unique impression and reflect your personal taste. With Popp, of course, this is not a problem. If choose foil as your material, the final design can be in many ways adapted to your vision. Do not be afraid to consult your ideas with us, in case of a foil pool you are not limited by shape, size or color.
The supporting element of foil pool is reinforced concrete slab and a perimeter wall built from concrete blocks or 120 x 25 x 25 cm Thermomur fittings, reinforced with structural steel and filled with concrete. The surface is lined with synthetic non-woven fabric. Then anchoring elements are set into the concrete shell, to which softened PVC foil (DLW or ALKORPLAN) is welded. The polyester fabric reinforced foil has a thickness of 1.5 mm, is UV radiation stabilized and colorfast.
The advantages of foil are that it can be easily welded, has high strength and resistance to UV radiation and chemical water treatment. In addition, its surface is antibacterial, so the occurrence of bacteria and fungi is limited.
To increase pool safety in areas more prone to slipping (stairs, steps, children's pools) foil with structured surface can be used. If getting ready to reconstruct an older concrete pools, it is necessary to paint the walls with antibacterial paint to prevent staining of foil, which can, using foil in these old structures sometimes occur.
