SITING

Selecting the site:
It is extremely important to select a good site for the pool:
as well as determining the endurance of the construction over time, this can also influence the comfort
of bathers as well as the amount of energy that the pool will consume each year.
The characteristics of a good site can be classified in order of importance:
1 - CONSOLIDATED SOIL
This refers to the consolidation of the land, the site should be well consolidated with no recent landfill;
even after 15 years, fills may not have entirely stabilised. Particular foundations may be necessary
(micropiles, etc.). Areas where there is surface rock or rock just under the surface should also be
avoided: excavation is arduous..
2 - NUMBER OF HOURS OF SUNSHINE
This should be optimum, especially in colder regions.
3 - SHELTER FROM THE WIND
Bathers will appreciate the comfort this brings. Furthermore, evaporation, a phenomenon that cools
pool water, will be reduced, this will make it easier to raise and maintain the water.
The diving pit, skimmer and machine room should be situated opposite prevailing summer winds).
4 - PRIVACY AND VIEWS
This is key to the carefree and relaxing enjoyment of your free time. For example, try to stay away
from nosy neighbours or busy roads that generate noise, odours, dust
5 - LUSH VEGETATION
Tall trees around the pool site should be avoided due to their polluting nature and their propensity
for retaining humidity. Pay careful attention to the accumulation of leaves around the skimmer.
Preferably, the skimmer should be positioned facing into the prevailing summer winds.
6 - PROXIMITY TO SUPPLIES AND OUTLETS
The electricity and water supplies should be as close as possible to the pool site. However, take
care to respect the regulations set out in the safety standards governing electrical installations in the
relevant country (in France the standard C15-100 prohibits low voltage electricity within 3.5m of the
pool).All drains and outlets should be oriented downward
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES:
Building on a slope: avoid steep slopes, cut into the slope to create the pool bed. Building in a
geological basin: additional drainage work will be necessary.
