All about home swimming pools

Although home swimming pools might seem very simple, they actually imply several mechanisms which we usually do not know.

Although these mechanisms might vary from one home swimming pool to other, there are some basic ones (such as a filtration system and a chemical treatment to clean water) which are usually present in most of them.

A mechanism which is efficient on maintaining the water clean is one of the most important matters which a swimming pool constructor needs to consider. The main components most home swimming pools usually have in order to keep the water clean are: drains, a water filter, a basin, returns, a pump, PVC plastic plumbing, and a chemical feeder.

Besides this, it is also interesting to know that there are several different basic types of swimming pools. One of these main types of swimming pools is the vinyl lined in-ground one. Vinyl lined in-ground swimming pools can usually be built faster than many others and are one of the cheapest options, although they might not endure as much as others.

Despite of this, the cheapest option nowadays available for constructing a swimming pool is an above the ground one. Above-ground swimming pools are the easiest to build since they are usually bought as pre-fabricated kits, in such a way that often can be installed by a non professional. But, in order to avoid wasting time or money by doing something incorrectly, it is always recommended to hire a professional to do the job.

Fiberglas pools, other of the most usual basic types of swimming pools in the market, are more complicated to construct but are created specifically according to the needs and space of the client. These swimming pools are made by installing fiberglass reinforced plastic in a ground hole, both of them specifically shaped as the client might desire.

Gunite and poured concrete swimming pools are some of the most popular options. Gunite pools are made by spraying a mixture of sand and cement in a hole which has been carefully prepared for the pool. Poured concrete swimming pools are similar, but their construction usually is much more difficult.
