Vitaly Lviv Owning your own swimming pool - the dream of millions of people. Someone has this dream come true by starting a complex process of building a permanent, concrete-tiled pool. Well - it's pretty good. If there is a lot of money. And if there is time and opportunity to care for such a pool. And also if you have lots of extra space on the site ... Much easier, cheaper and more convenient to buy (rather than build) a small, but nevertheless, comfortable for swimming pool roaming. That is, one that can from time to time to clean up, freeing up space on the site and preserving the pool from the elements. These pools are available now in very large quantities and in various ways. In general, they are all comfortable. They can afford to buy a person with normal, the average income. But how to understand the species diversity of pools? How to choose the one that best suits? Let's start with the fact that swimming pools can be divided into small-sized (a bit more large bath) and full-size (these can safely swim and swim every adult). If at the cottage a little space if you need to water treatment by themselves, but you can still swim in the river are going to - buy a small pool. In the hot summer you will always have an opportunity to refresh. If you decide to treat yourself, friends and children from swimming in their own pool - get full-sized family pool. And really, why somewhere a long time to gather, ride, walk when you can walk down the porch and immediately plunge into the cushy vodichku own pond? Yes, and easier to teach kids to swim in this pool than in a deep river with a rocky bottom! We return to the classification. In addition to separation by size, there is another way to distinguish between the pools. Pools are prefabricated (skeleton) and the inflatable. As a rule, small-sized pools - Inflatable. Classification of Small inflatable pools, as already stated, intended primarily for bathing in the fresh air and bathing children. They are compact and lightweight. But if you need to have a full-sized swimming pool, you will surely wonder: What is better to buy - prefabricated or inflatable? Here, from the outset we should note two points. First: the large inflatable pools differ from the small fact that the sides and bottom do not have airbags. Inflate require only the upper part - the camera ring. Second: the maximum diameter (length) frame pools greater than the maximum diameter is similar to air. That is the largest precast pool bigger and bigger in the largest inflatable pool. At the same depth. Frame pools are more stable, they have a rigid structure, as supported by a metal (or plastic) frame. Due to this, and there is a producer the opportunity to make more rigid pool inflatable. The presence of a skeleton, wrapped polypropylene tape contributed to the fact that these pools can simultaneously swim without the danger of deformation of the boards, more people. Inflatable less bulky, the design of their much simpler. And therefore, to assemble and disassemble inflatable pools are also easier and faster. If the installation frame pool goes from 30 to 45 minutes, to prepare inflated only need 10-15 minutes. Inflatable pools a few times weigh less. Non-take up little space, making them more transportable, easier to store them. And those other pools have the same quality and quantity available on sale (often - included) accessories. This filter pumps (keep the water in the sanitary norm), and various devices for manual cleaning and litter (to protect the bottom) and tilt (to protect from falling leaves and hopping insects). However, awnings are fixed to the prefabricated swimming pools safer. In the sense that it is possible to embrace the edges of the curtain to one half of the depth. This helps to better protect the pool of excess - rain - water. While for inflatable pools are dangerous accumulation of water on the awning, which can lead to strain (stretch) boards. Prefab pools by the rigidity of structures, especially attaching an awning are more suitable for prolonged use without changing the location (and not convenient to move a pool). Inflatable, in principle, can also leave a couple of weeks (if not expected sharp change of weather and significant rainfall). But we should always remember the lack of any whatsoever of the frame (the side supported by the buoyancy force, the buoyant air ring up). On the other hand, this lack is very convenient - when the need arises, it is easy to disassemble a pool or relocate to another place, not looking altogether. Obviously, the big frame pool favorable to buy those with a relatively large country site and those on whose dacha someone lives a long time. Inflatable pool is available in the event that you are not able to allocate to the installation of the pool a large area for a long time, as well as if you are not too often, and appears briefly in the country. Types of pool construction by all pools can be divided into three main types: - stationary - the most durable and long lasting. Stationary pools are usually larger and have many advantages. First of all, area, depth and shape of the steady-state pool are limited only by available free space that allows you to engage in a full swimming and diving from towers and springboards. This pool can be equipped with more sophisticated and effective systems to ensure water quality, and virtually any equipment for wellness and entertainment. In addition, the construction of individual project can be realized by the most fantastic designs in the design of both the basin and its environment. For example, only a stationary pool can oblitsevat so spectacular material, like a mosaic or ceramic tile. Of course, the size of the pool, located directly in a residential cottage, limited size and design features of the building. The length of the pool usually does not exceed 6-7 meters. If you want to really go for a swim, then the length of the pool must be at least 10-15 meters. However, to have a large pool in the main house is not always possible for architectural and engineering reasons. Problem can be solved if you put in a special pool annexe or separate building. In this case, the pool may have a width of 5-6 meters and a length of 15-20 meters. If desired, you can build for your swimming pool and a large building, but it is rather difficult and expensive. Besides these facilities, usually do not do without intermediate supports, which are located just in the middle basin. Bowl (capacity in which water is poured) in stationary pools often made of a special hydraulic concrete, which is filled with rebar. The cup can be plastic (eg polypropylene), but around it is still filled with concrete. Considerable weight to the stationary pool allows you to build them on a firm footing - soil beneath them must have sufficient bearing capacity and is not subject to erosion and leaching of groundwater. Construction of such pools connected with carrying out a significant amount of preparatory work: digging the pit, the device of the drainage system, preparation of the underlying "cushion" under the foundation and others Accommodation basin on the ground floor or basement of an existing house may require reconstruction and redevelopment. Therefore, the steady-state pools are much more expensive than even the largest prefabricated pools. Collapsible can be installed above ground or dug into the ground. They are distinguished by relatively small size and simplicity. These pools are most often round, oval or resemble in terms of eight. Diameter of most modular pools - 3-6 meters, but the market is and the larger models up to 12 meters (more often they are oval). The depth of the bowl is 1 to 1.5 meters, although the children's pool may be smaller. Prefabricated swimming pools are made of special plastic or thin steel sheet coated with varnish and paint. Internal coating of metal basins consists of a plastic film, which is resistant to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Plastic swimming pools have a whole bowl without seams, and therefore perfectly sealed. They are lighter metal and have better insulation. Plastic surface is easily cleaned and does not become slippery when smachivanii.Metallicheskie pools more expensive than plastic, but they are more durable, and many of them are cold-resistant, which allows you to leave the pool for the winter with water. To install the smallest collection basins do not require special skills and tools. A family of two or three people may in a few hours to mount such a pool on any flat ground with a shovel, twine, a knife and a screwdriver. It is easy to disassemble and transport to a new place, and some models are so compact that unassembled placed in the trunk Zhiguli. However, the larger pool, the harder its installation. Large pools have strong support structures (sometimes from the I-beams) or stabilizing side walls and at least partially immersed in the ground. For example, a pool depth of 1.5 meters to bury in the ground for at least a third. Basis of a large collection basins increased sand "cushion", and sometimes a concrete slab. Installation of such pools are best left to professionals. Sub-basins can be open or closed. The main advantage of indoor pools is that they can be used regardless of weather conditions and time of year. Indoor swimming pool consumes much less energy to heat water. In addition, the roof eliminates the hassle of preparing the pool for the swimming season in spring and autumn conservation. However, indoor swimming pools and require expensive equipment ventilation, dehumidification and air conditioning, which should provide the optimal microclimate parameters in the room. Outdoor swimming pool - this communion with nature. The main drawback of one - the climate in our country is far from tropical, and enjoy this splendor can be 3-4 months. Outdoor pools that operate year-round, we found quite rare. Swimming pool, located in the open, transparent, can be equipped prefabricated pavilion plastic segments which can easily shift and move apart, depending on the weather. Coverage of segments processed by special technology, so that the rain outside and condensate formed inside, do not remain on its surface. These pavilions to protect not only from the rain, but snow and significantly extend the swimming season. The design of reinforced concrete pools - a sort of classic in the Russian construction of swimming pools. Technology of casting bath pool made of concrete allows you to design any forms and sizes according to customer's requirement or architect-designer and applied equally well as when building a new home and when embedded in the existing building. Pool surface, buried in the ground or adjacent to it, are insulated from the outside to conserve heat. As the lining of the cup surface using tile, glass mosaic, or PVC. Film coating the bowl can be done much faster and cheaper than laying open mosaic pattern, but a mosaic - is unique, and besides, it is resistant to the formation of colonies of bacteria and lime scale. The minimum required set of equipment to filter consists of: a sand filter, pump, water heater, bottom ladder, skimmer, return jets, pipe spreading room and board governance. Place to install filtering equipment are urged to include below the waterline. Caring for erecting a pool pool directly in a country house or nearby, some homeowners think that you can skip to the further service by hand and with full right to enjoy life close to nature. Alas, one day can prevent the enjoyment of a greenish color of the water in your pool. Or putrid odor emanating from it. In general, if not to engage in cleaning the pool and does not monitor the status of water in it, trouble is inevitable. Pool should not be in a position to street, especially if it open and is surrounded by trees, from which the water leaves fall and nabuhnuv strewn bottom of a dense carpet. If these underwater "deposits" from time to time not to remove, then you soon will not want to swim in a pool. A seaweed that appear not only in public but in private swimming pools? A crowd of expiring after guests who urgently want to plunge? A lime that occurs when hard water? Summer ponds with water lilies and other aquatic plants do not require much care. During the growing season, these plants do not require digging, weeding, loosening, irrigation, fertilizer, chemical processing, etc., and even different pests will not be able to cause serious harm to the water lilies, so the summer caring for lilies is minimal. In this time of year it is only necessary from time to time to replenish pond water, rinse jet debris from the surface, cut the plants dead leaves. Virtually the only serious problem of garden lakes are algae. Algae in the mass, appear in summer, it lacks a few days to muddy the water and tighten the surface of the green film. Since algae can be controlled, given the type of vegetation in the pond, chemical or biological means. Wonderful helpers to clean up the reservoir - water snails, which feed on algae. Aggressive towards algae and some aquatic plants. When properly settling pond vegetation water in it all year long stays clean. Providing a minimum care of pond plants and inhabit it, the gardener will be rewarded in full, because the water - this element, full of dynamics, sound and lighting effects. It is at the same time, and a mirror which reflects the sky and plants. Therefore, it is and will always be the most plastic part of the modern garden. Recommendations So, the first recommendation: you need to regularly clean the outdoor pools of dead leaves. Of course, hidden under trees pond - it's very romantic, but for any pleasure to pay, in this case - regular work. It is possible to do cleaning, both independently and with the help of professionals from specialized firms. In addition, a necessary condition - the fight against algae, after the appearance and growth of which the water acquires the characteristic greenish color and smell. To such a pleasure to be everyday and regular, it is better not to wait for changes in water color, and, so to speak, pre-emptive strike. Experience has shown that the most effective means in this case - algicide. Timely prophylaxis with it will never let your pool "turn green". It is clear that the first "green" swimming pools open. However, in enclosed basins there is a danger rapid multiplication of algae. Therefore it is necessary 12 hours before the main treatment to the momentum (or, in other words, percussion) chlorinate the pool through the skimmer, and then use the proper algicide. In the future algae may appear again, but regular cleaning is enough to easily cope with this problem. Equally important is the regulation of acid-base balance or, in other words, pH of water in the pool. This indicator determines not only comfort when bathing (our skin is sensitive to the environment), but the intensity of formation of lime sludge and corrosion of metal structural elements. The optimum pH value between 7.2 and 7.6. If it is above or below these values, we start small (and sometimes big) trouble. Our skin has a natural outer covering an acid reaction, which is due to exposure to water with high pH-indicator intensively destroyed, causing damage to health. Increased acidity is harmful and basin: water becomes cloudy, precipitate, the filters appear splicing, reduced disinfection effects, etc. To avoid trouble, it should be about once a week to measure the pH-rate special basin tester. Deviations from the norm it is corrected by using special tools that you can buy: «pH-plus (if the index is low) and, accordingly,« pH-minus "(if the figure higher). Moreover, the use of these drugs should be accompanied by a constant rate measurements - otherwise you will fall from one extreme to another. Practice shows that the pH-rate jumps are observed most often after the change of water in the pool. In other words, in the first days after the start of the bathing season, pH, typically increases dramatically, and therefore should not be lazy, frequently check its value and if necessary add a means «pH-minus" for its downgrade. Home Chemistry Before describing the next steps for cleaning the pool and maintaining it in proper condition, we recall: to get involved in "home chemistry" is not worth it. Preparations are now on sale is really a lot, but the harm from their reckless use could be more than good. So, before you pour in a bowl or pool chlorine algicide, it is necessary to consult with experts, receive the necessary guidance and only then engage in chemical experiments. If this is not possible, then at least read through the instructions for use, so as not to be trapped. So, with the acid-alkaline balance you have everything in order. However, in this case does not end there, because now the water is required by or otherwise disinfected. The procedure should also be regular, since bathing (especially if there are many), not wanting to bring in his dirt and germs that breed there and then and after some time, are fully capable to serve the cause of the disease. As a rule, for quick disposal of germs in the water used plain old chlorine. In addition, chlorine contributes to the rapid expansion on the components of organic contaminants, like urea or sweat, which is also very important in the maintenance pool. In this case, we must know that chlorination of water most effectively occurs at a pH between 7.2 and 7.6. Purchase special chlorinated products is not difficult, but it should be noted that in a concentrated form of chlorine (and it knows every housewife) acts as a bleaching agent. So, if you throw chlorine tablets into the water near the painted surfaces, they can appear whitish spots. Therefore, the tablets are usually placed in a special float-dosing, which fails to achieve a high concentration of the drug. In addition, chlorinated pool can be a skimmer drains, and only granular chlorine product can be emptied directly into the water - it dissolves immediately, leaving no stains. We must also note a caveat here, namely the increased content in the treated water, salts, especially chlorides and nitrates that result from reactions of chlorine and natural evaporation of water. Chlorides cause corrosion of metals (steel, aluminum, etc.), which can be prevented, if to reduce the concentration of salts. It is simple: we must regularly replace the water in the pool fresh. The share of newly supplied water is approximately five percent of the total in a week. Reducing the need for fresh water helps pool cover film, which greatly reduces evaporation. However, to completely solve this problem is possible only through the complete replacement of water, and this should be done at least once a year in the outdoor pool, and two or three times a year in the indoor. If you (or someone from the family members) suffer from intolerance to chlorine, you can use bromine. He has the same as chlorine disinfection action, but it has no smell and does not irritate mucous membranes. Hard water must be handled to prevent precipitation of scale forming substances. This helps to avoid and turbidity, and the formation of lime deposits on the surface of the pool and in the circulation system. If you filled in the pool water contains iron or copper, it can acquire the characteristic hue (from green to brown). In this case, drain the excess water is not required, but it should be, first, shock chlorination to oxidize dissolved metals, and secondly, coagulation, and then filter and remove sediment. What is coagulation? Without this procedure, the pleasure of swimming will be thoroughly spoiled. The fact that the fall in the water proteins, fats and other insoluble particles are very small, they are invisible to the eye and is almost caught by filters. Task - to make these visible pollution, major and remove them from the water. Help in this flocculants, which contribute to the binding of small particles into flakes (which can be withheld filter screen) or the formation of foam (which can be removed from the surface). Of course, this procedure does not need to carry out daily, but the regularity needed here, too. Well as you ask, after all these operations to assess the state of water? This can be done independently. On measuring the pH of you already know, in addition, there is a fairly simple colorimetric method for analyzing the water. The water standard colors compared to the color of water from your pool after the addition of certain indicator tablets. However, if you are unsure of their chemical knowledge and skills can take a water sample in a company that is engaged in water treatment. Interaction with professionals never hurts. The water in our region occurs very different - hard, soft, with iron or without cause, and how to care for her as much. Therefore it is desirable that the quality of water in which you swim, be evaluated by specialists and given tips on caring for her. Cleaning and maintenance fall into the bowl pool foreign objects (for example, palaya foliage) should be removed regularly. However, cleaning the pool is not exhausted by this operation. Outdoor swimming pool shall be subjected to capital cleaned at least once a year should not be neglected by this procedure and the owners of private pools. The need of purification can often be determined on the eyes: the water in the clogged basin changes color as the walls and on the bottom become visible deposits of lime and mud, which serve as ideal breeding ground for bacteria and algae. Basic cleaning of the pool is carried out, usually in the spring, when the cup is empty, so the procedure is somewhat similar to clean tiles in the kitchen or bathroom. True, the cleaners here quite different, for example, "Dekaltsit Beken" - a liquid specifically designed to remove lime and mud deposits. The tool is applied with an ordinary broom or brush and is easily washed off with water and has no damaging effect on myself finishing material basin bowl. For swimming pools, finished a very sensitive film, or plastic, as a cleaning agent is recommended "Adisan Bekenrayn. Can be cleaned and filled with the pool. As a rule, due to pollution along the waterline (this bound water mirror) on the walls of the pool formed by a dark stripe. To remove it developed a special cleaning agent "Randfiks", which is suitable for cleaning virtually any surface: tile, films, etc. The composition of this thick consistency, so well kept on the vertical walls of the pool. Note that the normal cleaning agents in this case it is better not to apply, because with them in the water fall substances that contribute to foam formation, turbid water and algae growth. Contaminants that accumulate on the bottom of the pool in the form of sludge can be removed using a special underwater vacuum cleaner. This unique unit washes and cleans the surface, sucking mud that settles in the filter system. In conclusion, we recall that a nice swim, everything else, the inflow of fresh water, as well as its filtration and circulation. This, in turn, guaranteed by the special equipment that is set long before you start the "chemical" with water. Equipment and chemicals are vzaimodopolnyayusche (of course, provided your skill and diligence). You can install such equipment, which, if not all, almost all will do for you. In the market there is equipment that allows you to automate most of the functions of caring for a swimming pool: a system of water purification equipment for chlorination, dosing of chemicals, working in automatic mode, measuring and control instruments, there's even a robot cleaners walls and bottom of lime.

Experience has shown that the most effective means in this case - algicide. Timely prophylaxis with it will never let your pool "turn green". It is clear that the first "green" swimming pools open. However, in enclosed basins there is a danger rapid multiplication of algae. Therefore it is necessary 12 hours before the main treatment to the momentum (or, in other words, percussion) chlorinate the pool through the skimmer, and then use the proper algicide. In the future algae may appear again, but regular cleaning is enough to easily cope with this problem. Equally important is the regulation of acid-base balance or, in other words, pH of water in the pool. This indicator determines not only comfort when bathing (our skin is sensitive to the environment), but the intensity of formation of lime sludge and corrosion of metal structural elements. The optimum pH value between 7.2 and 7.6. If it is above or below these values, we start small (and sometimes big) trouble. Our skin has a natural outer covering an acid reaction, which is due to exposure to water with high pH-indicator intensively destroyed, causing damage to health. Increased acidity is harmful and basin: water becomes cloudy, precipitate, the filters appear splicing, reduced disinfection effects, etc. To avoid trouble, it should be about once a week to measure the pH-rate special basin tester. Deviations from the norm it is corrected by using special tools that you can buy: «pH-plus (if the index is low) and, accordingly,« pH-minus "(if the figure higher). Moreover, the use of these drugs should be accompanied by a constant rate measurements - otherwise you will fall from one extreme to another. Practice shows that the pH-rate jumps are observed most often after the change of water in the pool. In other words, in the first days after the start of the bathing season, pH, typically increases dramatically, and therefore should not be lazy, frequently check its value and if necessary add a means «pH-minus" for its downgrade. Home Chemistry Before describing the next steps for cleaning the pool and maintaining it in proper condition, we recall: to get involved in "home chemistry" is not worth it. Preparations are now on sale is really a lot, but the harm from their reckless use could be more than good. So, before you pour in a bowl or pool chlorine algicide, it is necessary to consult with experts, receive the necessary guidance and only then engage in chemical experiments. If this is not possible, then at least read through the instructions for use, so as not to be trapped. So, with the acid-alkaline balance you have everything in order. However, in this case does not end there, because now the water is required by or otherwise disinfected. The procedure should also be regular, since bathing (especially if there are many), not wanting to bring in his dirt and germs that breed there and then and after some time, are fully capable to serve the cause of the disease. As a rule, for quick disposal of germs in the water used plain old chlorine. In addition, chlorine contributes to the rapid expansion on the components of organic contaminants, like urea or sweat, which is also very important in the maintenance pool. In this case, we must know that chlorination of water most effectively occurs at a pH between 7.2 and 7.6. Purchase special chlorinated products is not difficult, but it should be noted that in a concentrated form of chlorine (and it knows every housewife) acts as a bleaching agent. So, if you throw chlorine tablets into the water near the painted surfaces, they can appear whitish spots. Therefore, the tablets are usually placed in a special float-dosing, which fails to achieve a high concentration of the drug. In addition, chlorinated pool can be a skimmer drains, and only granular chlorine product can be emptied directly into the water - it dissolves immediately, leaving no stains. We must also note a caveat here, namely the increased content in the treated water, salts, especially chlorides and nitrates that result from reactions of chlorine and natural evaporation of water. Chlorides cause corrosion of metals (steel, aluminum, etc.), which can be prevented, if to reduce the concentration of salts. It is simple: we must regularly replace the water in the pool fresh. The share of newly supplied water is approximately five percent of the total in a week. Reducing the need for fresh water helps pool cover film, which greatly reduces evaporation. However, to completely solve this problem is possible only through the complete replacement of water, and this should be done at least once a year in the outdoor pool, and two or three times a year in the indoor. If you (or someone from the family members) suffer from intolerance to chlorine, you can use bromine. He has the same as chlorine disinfection action, but it has no smell and does not irritate mucous membranes. Hard water must be handled to prevent precipitation of scale forming substances. This helps to avoid and turbidity, and the formation of lime deposits on the surface of the pool and in the circulation system. If you filled in the pool water contains iron or copper, it can acquire the characteristic hue (from green to brown). In this case, drain the excess water is not required, but it should be, first, shock chlorination to oxidize dissolved metals, and secondly, coagulation, and then filter and remove sediment. What is coagulation? Without this procedure, the pleasure of swimming will be thoroughly spoiled. The fact that the fall in the water proteins, fats and other insoluble particles are very small, they are invisible to the eye and is almost caught by filters. Task - to make these visible pollution, major and remove them from the water. Help in this flocculants, which contribute to the binding of small particles into flakes (which can be withheld filter screen) or the formation of foam (which can be removed from the surface). Of course, this procedure does not need to carry out daily, but the regularity needed here, too. Well as you ask, after all these operations to assess the state of water? This can be done independently. On measuring the pH of you already know, in addition, there is a fairly simple colorimetric method for analyzing the water. The water standard colors compared to the color of water from your pool after the addition of certain indicator tablets. However, if you are unsure of their chemical knowledge and skills can take a water sample in a company that is engaged in water treatment. Interaction with professionals never hurts. The water in our region occurs very different - hard, soft, with iron or without cause, and how to care for her as much. Therefore it is desirable that the quality of water in which you swim, be evaluated by specialists and given tips on caring for her. Cleaning and maintenance fall into the bowl pool foreign objects (for example, palaya foliage) should be removed regularly. However, cleaning the pool is not exhausted by this operation. Outdoor swimming pool shall be subjected to capital cleaned at least once a year should not be neglected by this procedure and the owners of private pools. The need of purification can often be determined on the eyes: the water in the clogged basin changes color as the walls and on the bottom become visible deposits of lime and mud, which serve as ideal breeding ground for bacteria and algae. Basic cleaning of the pool is carried out, usually in the spring, when the cup is empty, so the procedure is somewhat similar to clean tiles in the kitchen or bathroom. True, the cleaners here quite different, for example, "Dekaltsit Beken" - a liquid specifically designed to remove lime and mud deposits. The tool is applied with an ordinary broom or brush and is easily washed off with water and has no damaging effect on myself finishing material basin bowl. For swimming pools, finished a very sensitive film, or plastic, as a cleaning agent is recommended "Adisan Bekenrayn. Can be cleaned and filled with the pool. As a rule, due to pollution along the waterline (this bound water mirror) on the walls of the pool formed by a dark stripe. To remove it developed a special cleaning agent "Randfiks", which is suitable for cleaning virtually any surface: tile, films, etc. The composition of this thick consistency, so well kept on the vertical walls of the pool. Note that the normal cleaning agents in this case it is better not to apply, because with them in the water fall substances that contribute to foam formation, turbid water and algae growth. Contaminants that accumulate on the bottom of the pool in the form of sludge can be removed using a special underwater vacuum cleaner. This unique unit washes and cleans the surface, sucking mud that settles in the filter system. In conclusion, we recall that a nice swim, everything else, the inflow of fresh water, as well as its filtration and circulation. This, in turn, guaranteed by the special equipment that is set long before you start the "chemical" with water. Equipment and chemicals are vzaimodopolnyayusche (of course, provided your skill and diligence). You can install such equipment, which, if not all, almost all will do for you. In the market there is equipment that allows you to automate most of the functions of caring for a swimming pool: a system of water purification equipment for chlorination, dosing of chemicals, working in automatic mode, measuring and control instruments, there's even a robot cleaners walls and bottom of lime.
