Preservation of the outdoor swimming pool for the winter: analysis of the technology of workIn conservation, all buildings that are not in use need to be kept all the time, which must be kept in the interval of their forced inactivity. One of such structures is an open water body, which is intensively exploited a little in summer time. Before the advent of the first autumn frosts, the unnatural pool is forced to exist. After all, the main risk for the sake of construction lurks in the shifts of the soil adjacent to the walls of the bowl of the open basin. To cope with this discrepancy allows water, which is prepared in a special way and left in an outdoor pool for the winter. Before filling the water basin with water, the equipment is dismantled and the plugs are installed. To accomplish only a set of works in accordance with the conservation of the object, an army of experts is called. The proprietor of a suburban home can deceive without desire of others to have the desire and time to do all the necessary things. We will examine in more detail the order of execution of works and the features of their conduct.
First of all, we suggest that you watch a video clip with an example of conservation work:

First of all, we suggest that you watch a video clip with an example of conservation work:
Draining the water and cleaning the pool
It is necessary to remove the chemical property from the autochlorator (the tank of the dispenser of the antiseptic device) before starting to drain out of the pool of water used for bathing in the summer. After that, the whole system is washed in the circulation mode for about 10-15 minutes. Then produce a drain of"summer"water from the bowl of a swimming pool.
The bottom and walls of the pool basin are cleaned with a viscose sponge or a plastic brush with soft bristles through dirt and deposits, while intensively using detergents. To choose a cleaning agent for the sake of washing the bottom and walls of the bowl are guided by the advice of the manufacturer of the facing material. Importance is usually given to chemical products manufactured by German companies. Although some Russian property has good cleaning and cleaning properties. Cleaning of the bottom of the bowl of an open swimming pool through contamination, carried out with the help of special equipment or improvised devices available ...
With special care, it is necessary to clean film coatings that can be damaged as a result of the strongest exposure to chemical preparations of an incomprehensible property. Putting the bottom and walls of the bowl of the swimming pool in the order, do not forget about the relative cleansing through the settled deposits of iron parts that are in a specific contact with water. Here we are talking about ladders, handrails, lamps, spotlights and other auxiliary equipment used to operate the structure.
To work with any products of household chemicals should adhere to the well-known safety rules. Work should be in overalls (rubber boots, gloves, waterproof gown with a hood). The desire to protect the eyes and respiratory organs, using for this purpose glasses and special masks. It is impossible to favor leaks of antiseptic agents and cleaning mixtures into the environment.
Removing the removable equipment
It is recommended that you remove and position the storage area in a warm, dry environment for a"hibernation"period of the pool. The main elements of the hydraulic system of the structure are to be dismantled: the filtering unit, the heating order, the counterflow structure, etc. After starting the dismantling of the filtration unit, the filter is de-energized. Then drain the water through the tap, open the lid and transfer the filtrate to another container. After that, the filter is thoroughly washed. Then drain some water, switching the valve in the order of emptying. Next, the filtration unit is located in a selected location for the sake of storage before the subsequent summer season. Elements of the hydraulic system, not subject to dismantling, are certainly released through the water.
Before filling the pool with water, lighting devices that are integrated in the construction of the structure are removed. At the same time, the protective glass is removed, the range is taken out of the niche, the wire is insulated, taken to the top and strengthened to the side of the pool. Foam plugs cover the recesses, in which were placed lighting fixtures, a skimmer. The same caps are located in the jets, which remain unsealed in the pool for the winter. Special free plugs close the free ends of drains.
Preservation of the filtering system
Having finished the work in accordance with the cleaning of the pool and the dismantling of the equipment, start filling it with water with the preservatives dissolved in it. As such, supplements usually use a medicine with the title"Puripool", which is produced by the German society"BAYROL". This product prevents the emergence and development in the unfrozen water of aquatic plants, fungi, microbes, silt. In order to deceive the conservation function of the filtering system, the height of the water must be brought before the previous value. In accordance with the annotation attached by the manufacturer to the filter, the order of the reverse flushing is established for the equipment. It is not possible to switch the filter valve during the operation of the pump, because this can cause a system failure.
Then the end of the reverse flushing the filter case is put in the order of compaction for 10-15 seconds, and then - in the order of ordinary (usual) filtration. In this mode, the conservation water is drawn through the filtering system for 2-3 hours. Then the flow of water from the pool is partly connected. The discharge stops when the height of the water is below the side nozzles for 10 cm. Quaternary ammonium compounds (less than 20%) appear in the"Puripula"structure, therefore its addition to the pool water is strictly dosed. The size of the dose depends on the water hardness level, measured in degrees of hardness (° F) or in milligrams of equivalent for liter (mg-eq/l).
If the hardness does not exceed 3.5 meq/l, then 0.4 liters of Puripula is added for every 10 meters of cubic water.
If the hardness of the water reaches 5.3 mg-equiv/l, then the share of the product used for the preservation of water in the basin increases before 0.6 liters.
Before adding"Puripool"should be diluted in water, with each part of the product should have 5 parts of water. The acquired solution is moderately distributed according to the aqua mirror of the basin and mixed with the main mass of water. The effectiveness of the product depends on the level of chlorine and algaecide in the water. Lowering the effectiveness of"Puripool"comes to be the concentration of chlorine in water for the level of 1 mg/l. Knowing the relative this, do not multiply the dose of chlorine and algicide in the water in the interval of the pool's re-opening, which takes place in the spring months. After all,"Puripool"much simplifies the cleaning of the pool after the end of"hibernation."
Compensators: what is it all about and what are they for?
Compensators are used to lower the loads from ice (frozen water) for the wall of the pool basin. Compensators refer to objects that are capable of changing their own magnitude to be an increase in external pressure. In other words, these are those items that can shrink to be the expansion of water at the time of freezing. Compensators are allowed to carry empty plastic containers (canisters, five-liter bottles for drinking water, etc.), tires and pieces of foam plastic. The introduction of plastic bottles as expansion joints of water to freeze during the conservation of the open pool for the winter period
Compensators are connected with a synthetic cord and positioned in accordance with the central strip of the swimming pool. At the same time, plastic containers certainly do not deepen, using for this purpose sandbags or other weighting agents. It is not recommended to use iron objects as anchors, which can throw traces through the rust for the day of the pool basin. In addition to the center of the reservoir, the expansion joints are installed along the edges. It is better to remove bars from polystyrene, which should be tied in a"garland"and placed in accordance with the perimeter of the pool, retreating across the sides for 8-10 cm.
Selecting the coating to protect the water mirror
The protection of the water mirror with a special coating is considered the last step in the winter conservation of open pools. This stop does not bring the owners of those structures that already use coatings to protect the pool water during the summer season through pollution and cooling. Byl, for the sake of year-round introduction, a few covering materials that are able to withstand temperature changes, as well as the burden of snow mass, are suitable. Tent covers are made of canvas, PVC film and other materials that can protect the water column through precipitation and other contaminants
Bubble blankets refer to cheap types of heat-insulating coatings that can accumulate solar energy. Bedspreads are applicable for the protection of the reservoir during the winter season
Automatic roller shutters for swimming pools allow not only to protect the water surface through pollution, but to prolong the swimming season, keeping the water temperature in the pool for a comfortable level
Plastic pavilions refer to the costly types of year-round protection of outdoor pools. The cause of the construction is made of duralumin profiles of rounded shape and sheets of polycarbonate, capable of containing heat inside the structure
The operation of an open (stationary) pool in winter is likely to be the use of modern electronic water heating systems in an artificial reservoir
It is not recommended to close the open pools with self-made wood shields and metal structures, supported by the side of the structure. The possibility of damage to the walls of the bowl and the body of an artificial reservoir is great.
If it is permissible to initiate a re-entry?
If the procedures are carried out continuously, according to the conservation of the stationary basin, it is true that it is permissible to ensure a successful wintering of this structure. With the arrival of warm days, the ice in the basin is touched with natural criteria. To offend the ice is strictly prohibited, because with all this the possibility of damaging the bowl of the structure is great. Then, the pool's reconservation and water purification begin to operate the reservoir in accordance with its purpose.
