How to collect a filter for the pool with your own hands?

The pool does not seem to us any unattainable exotic, it is quite possible to build it on your site. And what a pleasure it is to splash in the clear cool water on a hot summer day! But to ensure that water is always always fresh, you need a filter to clean it. Buy equipment for the pool in the case of the construction of a solid concrete structure is better in advance, because all the necessary communications are laid already at the stage of foundation pit preparation.

Those who are sure that you can save on all these expensive "lotions", we recall that swimming in stagnant dirty water is unsafe. And every day to change the contents of an artificial reservoir will not be cheaper at all. Therefore, do not neglect your own health, it is better to think in advance of a cost-effective cleaning option.

Sand filter for the pool is the most popular among other filters for water treatment. As the name implies, its main component is sand, but not ordinary, but a certain fraction. In addition to it, gravel and activated carbon layers can be used.

In principle, for "handy" and "tadpole" it will not be a problem to assemble such devices yourself. If you identify yourself with such individuals, we hasten to disappoint you: it will not be possible to create a filter for the pool with your own hands, using only what you found in your garage. In any case, you will have to purchase the necessary mechanisms and devices. And in the subtleties of the technological process of cleaning will have to understand. Otherwise, the result will be disappointing.

So, how does a normal filter assembled in a factory work? Pumps with the help of bottom drains and skimmers suck in dirty water, run it through layers with a filter composition and then return back already clean and fresh. Mount these devices either directly next to the pond, or in a separate technical room. Everything depends on the scale of the structure.

Before collecting the filter for the pool with your own hands, consider the diagrams of these units or (ideally) disassemble the old failed device.

First we prepare the tank for cleaning. Suitable tank or a barrel. The capacity is filled with sand. Here the first difficulty arises - it is necessary to get a special quartz sand, the usual career tightly clogs the separators, and the device ceases to function. To increase the efficiency of the device, it is possible to include strata with fine gravel and minerals into the pool filter. We form the layers with our own hands and attach the connecting hoses.

Through these sleeves, the water is pumped through the bottom of the barrel by the pump, is cleaned and returned back, freed from mud and mud. The pump needs a reliable and powerful enough. In addition, take care of the purchase and installation of skimmers. They are responsible for collecting water for filtration.

Installed a filter for the pool, with your own hands you made it or bought it ready, needs periodic washing. To do this, the factory models have an appropriate mode. But in home-grown structures in advance, consider the possibility of eliminating accumulated waste from the filter and putting them into sewage.
