Dream of having a pool with a waterfall
The secret dream of every owner of a private house is the construction of the pool, no matter which one it is - open or closed type.
Undoubtedly, the pool in the territory of the site is a stylish and respectable building, a subject of pride and positive emotions of the owner, as well as those who once visited this pool. But waterfalls and geysers give a special glamor to the pool. The elastic and lively force of falling water, sung by poets of different times, creates an excellent mood and causes exceptionally positive emotions. Probably, it is not by chance that among the Wonders of the World there are famous natural waterfalls.
Of course, to build a semblance of Niagara Falls in the suburban area will be difficult, but why not try to create a modest waterfall for the pool with your own hands.
The existing waterfalls for the pool from the manufacturer are distinguished by the configuration, dimensions and material of manufacture. What are the criteria for choosing a hydraulic structure?
The design and operation of the waterfall of the basin
Structurally, the waterfall consists of the following elements:
• facepiece (spout)
• embedded parts
• water intake
• pump
• pneumatic buttons.
We will not hide that for the normal functioning of the installation of the pool and the waterfall, the purchase of additional equipment and embedded parts is required.
The principle of the waterfall is in the process of water injection into the water storage, its further passage through the diffuser in a laminar regime in the spout and outflow from the facepiece.
Water for the waterfall at certain intervals is selected from the water intake and returns back to the pool through a spout. A simple and affordable scheme, borrowed in due time from the first builders of pools.
Naturally, the selection of equipment is best entrusted to specialists who, based on evaluating the pool's capabilities, will select quality equipment and install it.
There are two types of pumps, the most in demand for swimming pools and the creation of waterfalls:
• pumps designed for pumping water
• pumps for creating waterfalls and fountains.
pump for waterfalls
The main tool, without which the creation of a waterfall is almost impossible, is a pump. The best pump for a waterfall is a pump that has the necessary pressure, economically uses electricity and has enough power and a working resource.
The ideal option for a waterfall pool is the installation of two pump pumps: one for water filtration, the second for waterfall.
There are the following types of pumps for waterfalls:
• remote
• Internal (submersible).
Remote pump types, in comparison with the internal type, have considerable power, and for its construction it will be necessary to erect a special structure for placing the pump.
Internal (submersible) pumps are placed in the water, so the main tangible advantage of the submersible pump operation is the noiselessness.
When selecting and installing the pump, it is recommended that special attention be paid to the diameter of the suction hose, on which the volume of pumped water depends. So, for example, to create a waterfall with water consumption up to 20 l / min, it is recommended to use a hose with a diameter of 2.5 cm, to create a more powerful waterfall with a volume of pumped water a hose with a diameter of 4 cm is required.
Types of waterfalls
The most popular models of waterfalls for the basin are:
• Cobra
• Rondo
• cascade
• swallow's Nest.
The delivery kit of any type of waterfall is standard, so you can collect and install a waterfall for the pool yourself.
Waterfall cobra is a stylized water installation for the pool and is designed for hydromassage.
The waterfall of the cobra for the pool includes:
• pump
• fence
• Air button
• Fittings
• Water installation with nozzle and control unit.
The power of the waterfall pump is up to 25 m / 3. The nozzle width can be up to 510 mm.
An irreplaceable element of a rocky pool is a waterfall rondo. The originality of the bend and the width of the stainless steel rondo drain allow the waterfall to be installed on board of any type of pool. Depending on the type of pump to be connected, the diameter of the pipe can reach 90 mm.
Sealing of the water supply pipe is carried out by means of two seals. The height of the waterfall is 530 mm, the width of the water jet from the nozzle is 500 m.
Models cobra, rondo, cascade and swallowtail combines a similar spout shape and material of manufacture - stainless steel polished steel grade 12 × 18 H10T (AISI321).
Using these models of waterfalls, you can recreate the various forms of ledges and boulders through which water will flow back into the water intake. The cascade model allows to produce a drain directly into the pool, given the height of the cascade model from 900 to 1350 mm.
In the set of equipment for the waterfall is necessarily present: a pool of water from the pool, a pump capacity of 60 m3 / h (electric motor 2.6 kW / 380 V, rack-spout with a massage nozzle.
But if in your thoughts you want to recreate the unique charm of a natural nature with a murmuring waterfall, then the best proposal is to create a wall waterfall for the pool.
Wall The waterfall ensures a gentle drop in water due to the presence of special flat flanges.
For different sizes of stones and ledges of the wall complex, you can select the appropriate flange size. But the beauty of the wall waterfall is the built-in LED lighting of water and cascades. Safe and reliable power supply of built-in 12V LEDs and a convenient control panel allow connecting several waterfalls through one controller. The number of light effects of the waterfall can be set manually.
But, of course, any pool wins in attractiveness, if equipped with enough accessories.
Accessories for swimming pools and waterfalls
Functional attribute of any pool is a brilliant polished ladder for descent into the water. Ladders for swimming pools can be hinged and monolithic, calculated even at the stage of designing the pool.
Stairs and handrails are made of stainless steel, which has significant resistance to corrosion. A special refinement and glamor pool is given by floodlight or LED lighting, which creates an atmosphere of celebration and relaxation. Swimming in the pool with illuminated waterfalls, you will plunge into the streaming extravaganza of glowing lights. And then you will understand that the choice of a waterfall for the pool was made correctly and successfully.
