It is known that the purpose of conservation of the basin is to protect it from the insidious influence of the soil soils and the reproduction of microflora. Therefore, without exaggeration, we can say how properly the winter conservation of the basin will be made, the easier it will be to start the pool in the summer.

Conservation of the pool for the winter
At the end of the swimming season in the pool of the countryside, it is time to prepare the hydraulic structure for wintering. The main activities are the conservation of the pool for the winter, including partial water discharge and dismantling of the demountable equipment.
Of course, the best proposal for winter preparation of the pool is to attract attentive hydrotechnical specialists. The technology of conservation of the basin depends on its type: the frame pool for the winter is prepared differently than the open stationary concrete.
However, the main stages of preparing the basin for wintering are identical.
It is necessary to carry out such actions:
- partial discharge of water, cleaning of the walls of the bowl and the bottom of the structure
- adding preservative and backwashing
- dismantling of existing removable equipment
- preservation of the filtration system
- shelter of a water mirror.
The first thing that needs to be done before the pool is closed for the winter is to turn off the water heating and adjust the pH and CL level to the standard value (7.2-7.6). Then put the pump into circulating mode until the chlorine level drops below + 7 ° C.
For each type of artificial reservoir from the manufacturer, there is an instruction to preserve the pool for the winter.
Helpful Tips
Before the start of water discharge experts recommend that the "shock therapy" of water by chlorination in the circulation mode. A powerful dose of tabletting or granular Cl will ensure a consequent absence of contamination. For winter conservation, water is added to the water AquaDoctor WinterCare at a rate of 3 liters per volume of water 50 m3. The agent is introduced along the perimeter of the pool bowl at a temperature of 7-12 ° C and the water level is lower than the nozzles, having drained the water from the pipe system.
Drain the water from the pool
Before starting to drain the water from the autochlorator, remove the chemical and the whole system is rinsed for 15 minutes in circulation mode. When conservation of stationary concrete pools for the preservation of the construction of water is drained, and the bottom and walls of the bowl are cleaned.
We will suggest that it is not recommended to completely remove water from the excavated pools for the winter. It suffices to lower and lower the water level below the edge of the searchlight and the return nozzle by 10-15 cm.
It is important to remember that the design of the pool bowl and the adjacent systems must withstand the freezing of water. Therefore, in some cases, keep the idle circulation of water and heat-insulate the surface.
Helpful Tips
There is an opinion that the discharge of water must be made without fail. Controversial opinions about the discharge and discharge of water from the basin can be solved by an ordinary interesting experiment: pour a blue water in a plastic cup and expose it to frost. You are lucky if a cup in a random match or a hollow container smaller in size. Thus you will answer the question: "Compensators, what is this?" Ice responds well to the powerful aggression of the expanded soil, as well as the expansion joints, previously lowered into the pool basin.
Dismantling of equipment
To facilitate the wintering of the basin is recommended by dismantling the hydraulic system elements, namely pumping units.
The main elements (pumps) of the hydraulic system involved in the basin piping are to be dismantled:
- filtering system
- water heating system
- countercurrent and hydromassage device
- adjustable inlet and outlet nozzles
- lighting.
Parts that can not be dismantled are simply removed from the water, and plugs are fitted to the free ends of the pipes. Removable dismantling ladders of the entrance to the water are painlessly dismantled.
conservation of the filtering system
The main element of the basin piping is the filtering system, which is subject to primary dismantling. The pump of the filter system is de-energized. The filter ends and the valves with the coupling end are disconnected from the system, the water is drained and the sand is removed.
The pump cover is removed and the filter basket is removed. Drain plugs from the body and filter are removed.
Then, the body is cleaned of sand residues and placed in a cool place for storage.
The manometer from the backwash valve of the filter is also dismantled. The remaining openings of the branch pipes after isolation are insulated with rubber stoppers.
dismantling of heating system
The pool heating system also needs to be dismantled.
Dismantling of the water heating system begins with the removal of the drain plug or the separation of the pipe between the heater and the filter unit.
By the way, pipes, hoses and filters are most prone to deformation by the force of ice. When dismantling filtration and heating systems, rubber winter plugs with a diameter of 1.25 -2.00 "are used, which are selected depending on the size of the nozzles.
After the dismantling of the pump units in the technological room of the pool, all the pipe valves open. At the ends of the valves, plastic bags are put on and fixed.
disassembly of injectors and counterflow
At the location of the "pump-filter" block, the inlet nozzles are dismantled by twisting. On the freed apertures from the inlet nozzles, you should also install plugs and plugs.
we remove lighting devices
The lighting devices are de-energized, then the protective glasses are removed from the housing. The device is taken out of the underwater or above-water niche. The supply wire is insulated and taken out upward by attaching to the bowl. The freed up depressions of the place of devices, nozzles and skimmer are protected with foam or rubber plugs.
The final stage of conservation is the installation of expansion joints for pressure-reducing ice.
It is in such a de-energized state that the winter will pass on Studen.
Water Mirror Cover
we select accessories for the wintering of the pool
It is advisable to select accessories for the wintering of the pool to begin with choosing the type of cover or awning. Cover should withstand the snow load and prevent foreign objects from entering the bowl.
The difficulty lies in the correct laying and tension of the coating. It is recommended to give preference to coverings and awnings with edge eyelets and a cord fastening system for carabiners.
