The importance of good plant equipment.

The aesthetic beauty of a pool depends not only on the model of pool itself, the materials used for its construction and the various accessories, but also on a series of technical equipment.

That is why it is important to have professional, top quality plant equipment for your pool. The main aspects to consider regarding the end result of a project are: the water level compared to the pool edge, the water filtration system and, consequently, maintenance of the entire system.



Pool types can generally be divided into two models: skimmer and overflow systems.

Overflow pools

Overflow pools use a water recovery and filtration system along with a perimeter slot that channels water into a balance tank used to maintain a constant water level. Through a pump and a filtration system, the water circulates in the pool through water inlets installed in the floor or walls. This system allows a more natural effect, as the water gently spills over the whole perimeter of the pool, ensuring it remains very clean despite resembling a sheet of glass.

Skimmer pools

Skimmer pools use openings built into the side of the pool, just below the surface of the water. The water is sucked into the skimmer mouth and channelled into the filtration system by a pump before being recirculated into the pool.
The water level in this case will remain between 5 and 15 cm below the pool edge, depending on the skimmer model.

Types of filtration


Which filter to choose? The filter is the key element of any filtration system, with various types available on the market. What is the best filtration system for a pool? In truth, every filter has its own advantages and drawbacks. Sand and cartridge filtration systems are especially favoured by pool owners. The selection criteria can be based on the fineness of particle filtration, the time required for cleaning, or water consumption.

Disinfection.

Every day, the water in your pool is exposed to conditions and external agents that can easily affect its healthiness and hygiene, making it cloudy, unattractive and the ideal environment for the proliferation of bacteria and algae. Therefore, a good water treatment system with a specific, regular routine is essential for ensuring you can fully enjoy your pool or wellbeing space with complete safety and peace of mind.

Treatments


Disinfection treatments in particular constitute the first stage in water sanitation, acting to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms. By selecting programs with different chemical agents like chlorine, active oxygen or bromine, you can easily keep your pool clean and sanitised, choosing a non-invasive and affordable form of prevention.
