Domestic swimming pools are a great way to relax, have fun, and stay fit. However, it is important that pool owners follow rules and regulations to ensure the users’ safety and to protect the surroundings.
In the design and use requirements for outdoor domestic pools, the standards for structures that are intended to be permanently installed are specified. These regulations include test methods and rating scales for the environmental performance of domestic swimming pool usage.
What to consider when installing a swimming pool
Before installing a domestic swimming pool, it is important to consider its location and possible consequences for the surroundings. The position of the pool should be carefully chosen in order to avoid damaging neighbors, the surrounding environment, and the property itself. For example, swimming pools should not be placed in such a way as to obstruct natural water flow or air circulation.
It is also important to comply with local and regional regulations regarding construction. Often there are rules concerning the size, the depth, and the distance from neighbors’ property. Moreover, there might be rules about the need of fences and the presence of safety covers to avoid accidents
Domestic pools should be kept in good condition to guarantee users’ safety and reduce environmental impact. For example, regular pool cleaning and water pH control can help prevent the growth of bacteria and algae and reduce chemical usage.
It is also important to make sure that the pool has a safety cover to prevent unauthorized access, especially to children and pets. The cover should be durable and easily removable in case of emergency. Moreover, the access to the pool should be controlled so that only authorized people may enter the pool area.
Pool pumps used for water circulation and cleaning should be chosen carefully to save energy and comply with environmental regulations. They should also be regularly maintained and replaced if necessary in order to assure correct functioning.
