As its name indicates it, the swimming pool with overflow is characterized by the overflow of water on a part or all around the basin. It is a structure which would bring happiness children with its water cascades. However, largest will be pleased also to admire the sight with the visual effect which is created. Generally, this kind of basin would be adapted more to the grounds which give on the sea or which have a panoramic sight on the horizon.
Principle of operation
The characteristic of this swimming pool it is that water does not stagnate in the basin, but overflows in a vat or another basin which is envisaged for this purpose. It is thus a question here of removing curbstones in order to make it possible water to evacuate itself. That makes it possible to have small cascades all around the basin.
The technique which is used makes it possible to have a clean water owing to the fact that it regular and is poured in another vat to be filtered in order to re-use it in the principal basin. The role of Skimmer thus any more is not very requested.
With regard to the overflow of water, it can be made either part of the swimming pool around or. With this intention, the installation of a chute is recommended, but it is necessary that the latter has a good flow in order to be able to evacuate waste which is on water. However, in addition to the installation of a chute, it is enough to envisage a small slope so that water can be poured there.
Filtration
For a good filtration of the water of the basin, one would need that the overflow is constant and regular and in this case, the flow will have to be always the same one. That is necessary owing to the fact that this kind of basin is deprived of Skimmer and it is in the vat plug via the tubes of repression that will be made filtering.
The great difficulty in the control of the overflow is that the basin is designed to accommodate swimmers. However, the number of people which is in the swimming pool can have a great influence on the flow of overflow. It is thus advised to set up two pumps. The first will be used to manage the flow of overflow and the second will be especially used with the filtering of water.
To ensure that the water is well filtered, there exist various types of diatom filter which can be used inter alia filter with cartridge, pocket, with sand.
Advantages and disadvantages of the swimming pool with overflow
The first advantage of a overflow basin is the cleanliness of water, water which will be regularly evacuated in a vat plug to be filtered and transferred in the principal basin. With this process, it is thus impossible to see a watermark salts on the liner. The rainwater can also be stored in the basin planned for the overflow.
Like disadvantage, there is especially the price of acquisition which is very high compared to the traditional swimming pools. The price is explained by the fact why it is necessary to have powerful materials to be able to manage the overflow of water. Moreover, it almost impossible to maintain a temperature constant of water. |
