WATER CIRCULATION
Our steel wall pools are delivered as standard with
a skimmer press-cut (suitable for mini-skimmer,
rectangular, approx. 148 x 140 mm) and a 60 mm
round cut for 1 inlet nozzle, which is located approx.
80 cm next to it. Holes for other built-in parts must
be cut/punched on site during the assembly of the
pool.
Depending on the shape of the pool (in particular
for larger oval and gure-8 shaped pools), a second
inlet nozzle can be installed to improve the water
circulation (which may also save water treatment
agents), or you can place the two discharge nozzles
on the the opposite side of the skimmer (with a
T-tting between the two).
FILTER SHAFT
Especially for inground swimming pools it is
advisable to build a lter shaft (e.g. made of bricks).
Advantage: lter system and other technical
components are not visible. It also provides a good
noise insulation, and the lter system is protected
from the weather. However, it is important to provide
a good drainage (including sewer connection) so
that even in the event of an unplanned heavy rainfall
or a defect in the lter system, the lter system/
electrical connections cannot be ushed over. A
good ventilation of the lter shaft prevents corrosion
damage and should be taken into account during the
planning.
PIPING
As standard, our pools are delivered with a 38
mm swimming pool hose. This hose must not be
laid directly in the ground. In case of an inground
installation, we recommend to place this hose in a
conduit. Alternatively, many swimming pool builders
use a xed piping or a 50 mm glued hose. The
advantage of this is that the pipes are more stable,
and the smooth inside and the larger diameter
reduce the ow resistance, which has a positive
effect on lter performance/water ow (contact your
dealer, if necessary/we can also offer an alternative
piping for your pool). When laying the hose or piping
as well as skimmer and inlet nozzles, ensure that
these parts are easily accessible in case of a defect,
so that they can be replaced if necessary.
