Swimming pool siting

The swimming pool should stand on a sunny place if
available, not very far from the house. The skimmer
(collecting foreign matter from the pool water surface)
should be located downwind, so any foreign mater
floating on the surface is pushed by wind to the
skimmer. What is more important, however, is that
the skimmer should be installed on the side that is
closer to the filter.
2.3

Filter location

Install the filter system as close to the swimming pool
as possible. Preferably the suction piping (skimmer
piping) should be shorter that the return piping
(nozzle piping).
The filter system can be installed in a shaft, in the
house, in a garden house, etc. If installation in the
house and in a shaft is selected, the floor must be
provided with a drain (sink) in case of water leak.
Water from the back flushing must also be drained,
roughly 200 litres every 1-2 weeks. This can be done
by means of fixed piping or a hose ending in a drain.
If the filter system lies higher that the water level, a
return valve must be installed on the suction side,
that is, on the skimmer piping. This must be installed
1–1.5 m far from the sand filter system and must be
accessible at all times.
The planned water heating method is also an
important factor when selecting the place for the filter
system. If the swimming pool is to be heated by a
dedicated solar system, the filter system should be
installed as close to the solar absorber as feasible.
Even if an air-water heat pump is planned for outdoor
installation, the filter system should preferably also be
installed in the garden. However, if the heat
exchanger is connected to the central heating
system, installation of the filter in the house is virtually
inevitable.

Spatial arrangement options

Spatial arrangement options – circular
2.4.1
swimming pool
Three different options exist for the installation of a
circular swimming pool irrespective of its depth and
size:
Inground swimming pool
Semi-inground swimming pool
Above-ground freestanding swimming pool
Swimming pools 150 cm deep must always be at
least 60 cm sunk in the ground.
For such swimming pools and for inground and semi-
inground swimming pools the area around the
inground part must always be backfilled with lean
concrete.
