How to build a swimming pool in a private house
It is difficult to find the owner of a country house that has ever thought about the construction of the pool or the font in the house. This desire is understandable. Bribes opportunity to swim regardless of the time of year and weather conditions, always be in good shape and not with the incomparable pleasure of taking water treatments.
Many novice developers believe that to make the pool or the font is not very difficult. Suffice it desires, available funds, and dream has come true. From the form of missed a lot of pitfalls and peculiarities, lurking in the "wet" zone, equipped in the house. This is what we will cover in today's material, from which you will learn:
- The pool is different from the usual fonts;
- Should I build a "wet" zone in the home;
- What kind of nuances should know before building a swimming pool in the house;
- How to build a swimming pool in the house;
- How much will cost the construction of "wet zone."
Pool and Hot: similarities and differences.
If you look at the results of our survey, we can see that the majority of users FORUMHOUSE voted "for", "wet" zone.
But before moving on to the features everything the font or the pool in a private home, you need to deal with these concepts, as already at this initial stage there is confusion, because often a font called pool, and on the contrary.
Swimming pool - is a complex engineering and hydraulic structures, including a bowl, filtration equipment, designed for water treatment, pumping equipment required for recycling (shift and, if necessary, water draining), heating system water.
Classical Hot - this is a relatively small capacity (sometimes mobile, made of wood), filled with cold water, designed for making contrasting water treatments. Traditionally font - attribute of a bath, and a small swimming pool - saunas. The font is more frequent water changes.
Pool is primarily designed for entertainment, swimming and equipped with attractions - waterfalls, geysers, whirlpool, counter-current (artificial stream) - he becomes the center of attraction for the whole families.
Make the house a swimming pool full "three lanes of 25 meters" can allow myself a few. Therefore, other developers are selected the type: Therapeutic, small (sometimes also called Hot), equipped with equipment SPA volume of water in the bowl 1-3 m3.
Second Embodiment - sanitary and health pools volume from 3 to 8 m3, as well as the first type of home "reservoir," used as a complement to the sauna, Turkish bath or bannomu complex.
To swim, build a large-scale construction - 15-50 m3 pool, the depth of 1.5 meters (which is enough for swimming). Accordingly, the requirements for such facilities, as well as price increases in direct proportion to their size.
But even if you want to build a house in a relatively small pool with the size of 3x5 meters bowls are kindly requested to prepare for the high costs. Therefore, before proceeding to its construction, it is necessary to ask yourself the question: "And it needs a swimming pool in the house?". To answer it, and make an informed decision, it is necessary to understand what is required to be placed under the "wet" zone.
Construction of the wet zone: pros and cons
Pluses are obvious - in the pool house, you use them when you want. It is becoming a major driver of its desire to build.
Lutsenko (User FORUMHOUSE):
For me it will be a place of cultural rest, where you can splash and sing karaoke.
Barnauleychik (User FORUMHOUSE):
The house I planned to build a large family, as they say, "forever." Swimming pool in a cottage like 5 meters in length. Equips its counter and will "float" against the current.
Participants are echoes of our portal and the user with the nickname Sintetik, decided to build the size 11h16 m house with a pool and sauna. According to him, the basic idea of the building - to get all the water sports without leaving the building.
If the advantages are obvious, the disadvantages become a real "reefs", which can break the desire to build it.
To begin, we present the results of our second survey:
As you can see, most of the users of our portal opted for pool accommodation in an annexe to the house. This is due to the fact that the pool is in the house - it's not just a big "tub" filled with water, and as mentioned above - a real water complex, equipped with costly engineering equipment. By its design, rooms and buildings under it imposed special requirements, what you should know beforehand.
How to build a swimming pool in the house
Already from the name "wet" zone is clear that this area must meet a number of specific characteristics. This is - a reliable waterproofing the use of water-resistant materials and compounds for finishing the "wet" zone, summarizing all the necessary communications, well-designed ventilation system.
In addition, the pool or the font in the house - it's always an additional and a lot of weight. Stone basin, the construction of which tens of cubic meters of concrete left, plus the water in it to have a significant load on the underlying structure or layers of soil.
There are projects of private houses, where the swimming pool is placed in the basement, on the ground floor or on the second floor (additional load falls in this case, the ceiling and walls).
Based on this, remember this rule - the pool is designed with the house. The main mistake - to build a building, and then to think about how to place it in the pool, or try to "push" a large font in the ground floor. The base plate in this case simply can not withstand the load and crack.
rex @ (User FORUMHOUSE):
The pool and the house should be two independent from each other constructions. Bowl basin can not be associated with the walls of house, floor of the building or wall, you can not rely on the cup.
The principle of building the next - first make the overall project and coordinate it with the organization that will build you a pool. According to the technology first constructs a bowl, and then around it erected the building. The depth of the foundation of the building in the place where it passes next to the pool, determine the authors of the project.
Timidzhar (User FORUMHOUSE):
Foundation of the house should not be linked to the foundation of the pool.
Particular attention should be given to the strength and integrity of the bowl, as well as a reliable waterproofing the "wet" zone. Reinforcement, concrete brand additive mixture conferring increased water resistance, waterproofing, accessories, which will be equipped with a swimming pool, with all the necessary utilities - all this is taken into account in advance, rather than after.
Waterproofing bowl must be continuous across the surface. When casting a bowl of concrete (if you choose this option of building) is not desirable to make cold joints - in the future it may become possible leakage points. Hence - the wall of the bowl are filled in one step.
In addition, if you plan to build a swimming pool in the house, you must find out whether the soil will withstand the total weight of water-filled building and bowls, or soil may eventually give differential settlement that will lead to an emergency situation: the walls of the cottage, or a bowl of crack, and the water of it will start to flow out, washing away foundation. In this case, you will need expensive repairs.
Understand how to build a swimming pool at home, it is impossible without the solution of a number of engineering and design tasks. Moreover, the construction of the cup is not always one of the most difficult tasks.
"Wet" zone in the home - everything problems
The organization placed under the pool or the font and the availability of free space - one of the main factors that affect the final decision of their construction. Those. - to the area of residential and non-residential premises of the house adds an additional room, where it will be placed the swimming pool or the font.
Considering that in the pool swim every day, we come to what will be in the cottage room, which is actually a large amount of idle time. And the house will have to build extra space, and all of its engineering systems are designed and tie on pool maintenance.
But even taking the decision to build a huge house (which still have to maintain and heat), it is necessary to ask the opinion of the household - how often they use the pool, and he shall be turned over time into an expensive and useless toy that requires constant investments.
Many developers overlook this important point arrangement "wet" areas as ventilation. we mentioned in one of my previous articles on ventilation features in "wet" roomsBut repeat - a large volume of water, residing in the house - a source of moisture.
C 1 q. m per day pool evaporates about 0.25 (the figure given for the benchmark) liters of fluid. Without mounting ventilation (which is calculated in relation to the area of the water in the bowl mirror the pool or the font and the temperature of the water and the air in the room), in-house swimming pool will become a constant headache pain.
In the absence of ventilation The vaporized water condenses and falls as droplets on the surfaces of the "wet" zone. Over time, this will result in damage to finish, moisture, the emergence of the fungus, and odor.
And this is only one of many factors that complicate the arrangement of the "wet" zone of the house. Add the necessary engineering and installation of filtration equipment, water heating, everything in the room mortgages to additional communications.
Also it is necessary to think in advance where to drain the excess water. Septic or storm sewer can not withstand a large discharge capacity. Ie, all the systems in the house, and room for a swimming pool should be calculated with a margin on its long-term operation. Do not forget to add on to the installation costs in the "wet" room additional runs under the power lines, and the installation of more one of a switch, the purchase cost of waterproof switches and circuit breakers, pumps and the cost electricity. After all, for the functioning of the pool must be equipped with its appropriate equipment operating from the mains. Calculate whether the allocated power is enough for normal operation of the "wet" zone in the house. For a guide, we use the following approximate figures, cast by the user with the nickname Besrom:
- filters - 0.55 kW;
- Illumination two LED lamps 12 volts - 100 W;
- The control system, valve - 0.50 kW;
- Counterflow - 3.5 kW;
- Waterfall - 2 kW.
And, best of all, if the network is a three-phase to 380V. It is not surprising that the monetary component is becoming a decisive factor in answering the question "to be or not to be in the house of the" wet "zone."
The cost of construction and maintenance of a "wet" areas in a country house
NahNah (User FORUMHOUSE):
I planned to build a swimming pool 15h5h3 meters. Here thought, how much will cost me the content for 1 year and 10 years, with all the necessary planning activities and capital repairs.
"Wet" zone in the home can be a significant item of expenditure, because the pool or the font must be filled with water, to maintain a constant level of it (water is evaporated; evaporation to reduce the level of pool harboring special blanket or shutters). Few understand how to make a swimming pool in a country house, and a budget for the construction of laying - still have to spend money on "chemistry" for water disinfection and most importantly - to maintain an acceptable temperature of plus winter. Those. the water will have to be heated, and the heating system at home can not cope with this. Given that the climate in our country is harsh, and the heating season, depending on the region of residence, can last 6-8 months, then enjoy the water treatments can fly a lot of money.
Beutiflet (User FORUMHOUSE):
Due to ventilation-dripping, heating the pool room will go about like the heating of premises and areas of similar design. Although pools do not normally fused (except emergency or planned repairs bowl) for circulating and filtering the clock will spend approximately 0.5 kW. So consider.
rex @:
In my experience I would say, a building with bath, shower, bathroom and recreation room housing the swimming pool of 3x6 meters, at a cost of 1.7 million. rub. A swimming pool with a concrete bowl, and all the equipment heated, counterflow, waterfall - 1.2 million. rub.
According to its users with the nickname Step48, owning a home with a "wet" area can be compared to owning a car. The more complex and more expensive the car, the more expensive its maintenance. And here: it is necessary to spend money on water treatment, water heating, maintenance, control the operation of the equipment, make routine maintenance, etc.
Sintetik (User FORUMHOUSE):
I built the house a swimming pool. Bowl 3h4h1.5 meters. It took her about 10 cubic meters of concrete. Construction at a cost of 100 thousand. rub. Equipment + another 400 thousand. rub. mosaics furnish - 200 thousand. rub. Total is already 700 thousand. rub.
Based on these figures, the construction of a "wet" zone in suburban house with a swimming pool size 15h5h3 cost more time at 10, as heavy bowl drags a serious foundation, engineering equipment, pumps, etc. In fact, the costs and further service - it is not the construction of premises for the "wet" area and the construction of the second is not even a house, and a full house.
Undoubtedly, having a swimming pool in a private house and prestigious, and it is useful, but only if sufficient funds for its construction and, importantly, constant operation and maintenance. In other cases, it is necessary to think ten times before deciding on its construction. Therefore, the regeneration of the "wet" area or room for taking water treatments in the first place, we must be guided by common sense and, as an option, to build a small pool or the font. Especially because on our portal we have accumulated extensive experience in the construction of such facilities.
In FORUMHOUSE on topics can be found with a detailed photo report on construction of fonts in the house and stages of building a house with a swimming pool of HEC. You can ask a question in the subject line: "Pool by the rules. Construction and equipment ".
We recommend to read the article, which tells how to decorate the room with high humidityand how to glue the tiles in the bathroomThat it does not fall off.
In our video reel - bath and laundry complex with a fontBuilt with his own hands. Also recommend that you watch the video, which shows the the details of construction and shower baths font chopped called "Fairy Tale".
