| 1: |
PLANNING YOUR POOL |
| |
Careful
fore-thought as well as guidance from a D.I.Y. POOLS consultant will
not only help make installation easier but result in a better
end-product as well. Aspects to be concluded include maximizing sun
exposure, minimizing prevailing wind interference, the position of
existing drainage and trees in relation to the pool and numerous other
factors. |
| |
|
| 2: |
PASSING MUNICIPAL PLANS |
| |
Our
consultant will advise or assist in the drawing and passing plans. |
| |
|
| 3: |
DIGGING AND DISPOSAL OF SAND |
| |
Though
often overlooked, a significant saving can be made if the pool owner is
able to excavate the hole and dispose of the sand himself (the simplest
of tasks). Soil is easily disposed of on the average plot. Your
consultant will be able to assist regarding the easiest way this can be
done - such as landscaping a partly inground pool. (This not only
reduces the depth of the hole to be dug and the quantity of soil to be
distributed, but makes it more difficult for wind blown debris in the
pool.) |
| |
|
| 4: |
DELIVERY OF THE POOL SHELL |
| |
There is
express distribution of every D.I.Y. Pool shell – ensuring delivery by
the time plans have been passed. |
| |
|
| 5: |
INSTALLATION OF THE POOL SHELL |
| |
Pool
owners seldom require assistance with more than the first 30 cm of
backfill - in most instances, the complete job can be done by the
homeowner himself.
|
|
|
| |
6: |
PAVING THE SWIMMING POOL SURROUND |
| |
|
Well manicured
grass running to the pool edge, forms and attractive alternative to
paving, which may be laid at a later stage if required. There is no
easier way to substantially reduce the overall cost than by paving it
yourself. D.I.Y. POOLS pavers are available should a pool owner wish
the job professionally done – alternatively, a consultant will suggest
several reputable companies who offer favourable rates. |
| |
|
|
| |
7: |
POOL FILTRATION |
| |
|
Because the
volume of water varies from pool to pool, the size of the pump and
filter required will vary too. By tailoring a filtration plant to suit
each different pool model, not only is adequate fully automatic
filtration assured, but the cost of equipment is kept at a minimum too. |
| |
|
|
| |
8: |
SELF INSTALLATION |
| |
|
To assist the
pool owner to install the pump and filter himself, simple step-by-step
installation instructions are supplied with every pool. In some
instances the pump and filter selected enables the system to be
pre-plumbed - simplifying final installation to a great degree. |
| |
|
|
| |
9: |
DELAYED INSTALLATION |
| |
|
A sizeable
cost saving can be achieved (particularly in the case of smaller pools)
by delaying or not installing a conventional filtration system at all.
The regular application of chemicals and occasional use of a garden
hose vacuum is often sufficient to maintain perfect pool conditions. |
