How to care for a porexpan pool
Lately, one of the most frequently asked questions from the public has been construction and development companies real estate who are interested in this type of solution is: What care does a porexpan pool need during its lifetime? In this article we detail the answer.
Hearing porexpan pools or, technically speaking, the expanded polystyrene poolsare a solution increasingly in demand in the construction industry for its speed of execution, its thermal behaviour and its structural lightness. Particularly in residential developments and new construction projects.
How is a porexpan pool maintained?
With a view to to offer the customer exclusive housing with this type of pool it is important to know a few things. The daily maintenance of a porexpan pool is virtually identical to that of any conventional swimming pool (whether shotcrete or prefabricated). However, thanks to the properties of EPSThese pools have certain characteristics advantages in terms of structural maintenance that simplify their long-term preservation.
Differential advantages in maintenance:
The porexpan provides lightness, thermal insulation and stabilityThis means that the structure does not suffer displacements, cracks due to settling or deformations common in other systems. In addition, the protective coating (mortar, reinforced sheet, gresite, porcelain, etc.) guarantees watertightness and facilitates cleaning. In other words, its structural maintenance is practically nil: they are much, much more cost-effective than traditional solutions.
After all, it is a swimming pool, so there are certain tasks that your clients will not be able to get rid of, and that is the daily tasks that guarantee the quality of the water (chemical products) and the good condition of your facilities (cleaning).
Recommended care to ensure durability
Although the EPS (expanded polystyrene) As the material does not require specific maintenance once installed, it is advisable to follow some guidelines to ensure the good conservation of the pool and the associated installations.
- Periodic review of the filtration and purification system.
- Control and regulation of pH levels and disinfectants.
- Regular cleaning of the vessel to avoid fouling.
- Verification of nozzles, skimmers, overflows and other accessories.
- Control of the coating to ensure that it remains watertight.
These tasks, as mentioned above, are standard in any pool, but the use of the porexpan in swimming pools brings a key advantage: reduces the occurrence of structural problems, avoids thermal losses and facilitates interventions where necessary.
For all these reasons, more and more builders opt for EPS pools as a solution for new construction projects.
