What is the pool glass

El pool glass It is the structure or container of the Swimmingpool which contains water.

The parts that make up the pool glass are:

  • Its structure
  • The pool liner
  • Accessories installed
  • Elements for correct debugging
  • Additional equipment…

On the other hand, due to the general confusion, it is necessary to emphasize that The word pool glass is used in any type of pool regardless of the material of the structure itself. of the pool or how it is covered (for example: concrete, steel, fiber...).

Why is the choice of pool glass material important?

The importance of a good choice in the pool glass material is vital.

We can't forget that Thanks to these elements, the pool will function and thus carry out correct recirculation of the pool water., will give us due illumination….

In addition, From the choice of the elements made up of the pool glass material we will obtain the result of the influence of its own longevity. and that of the pool itself (remember that these are built into the structure, so it will be crucial to avoid any problem of this type).


How to correctly choose the pool glass material

How to correctly choose the pool glass material

Therefore, the first step to be able to select the best pool elements for our pool will be to know very well what type of pool we have.

Factors to consider when choosing pool glass material

  • Know if our pool is built/concrete, if it is lined with a pool liner or if it is a prefabricated pool.
  • Pool manufacturing material.
  • Pool wall thickness.
  • Shape and size of the pool (will determine the number of pool glass material accessories to be implemented and how to position them).
  • Decide to choose the manufacturing of the material of the different elements of the pool glass, the shape, the finish...

Note as a guideline about the pool glass material: They are usually white in color, are usually treated against ultraviolet rays, square or rectangular in shape and are made of ABS plastic).

A pool skimmer is a suction mouth installed on the pool walls at a level close to the pool surface y shaped like a window.

. The baskets are there to catch larger debris, such as leaves, twigs, bugs, and anything else that is too large to pass through the filter.

What is the pool skimmer for?

Thus, The skimmer is built into the side of the pool, therefore they are plastic rectangles that house skimmer baskets, consolidating as a fundamental role be part of the water suction circuit, therefore taking care of the correct filtration of the pool water.

In summary, primarily the function of the pool skimmer It is to vacuum and retain the waste in the pool; that is to say Make sure that debris that falls into the pool is deposited in the pool glass (example: leaves, insects...).

La discharge nozzle function, or also called a return nozzle, is to expel clean water into the pool (which has previously been purified by passing through the filter or purifier).

Moreover, the number of delivery nozzles to be established will vary depending on the flow of water that we must recirculate.

Furthermore, the strategic position of the delivery nozzles It will depend on the shape of the pool itself.

Pool suction nozzle

La pool suction nozzle function, or also called by the names of pool suction nozzle or pool cleaner nozzle, is to suck the water (through the previously connected tube of the pool cleaner) and transport it to the filter or purifier.

In this way, the dirt will remain impregnated in the earth or glass of the pool filter and will subsequently be expelled completely clean through the delivery nozzle.

El number of suction nozzles In a pool it will always be one unit.

Lastly, The suction nozzle will always be located in the central part of the pool Since, whether vacuuming with an automatic pool cleaning robot or manually, the tube must reach all corners of the interior of the glass.

The function of pool bottom nozzles It is about making it impossible for the gunk to remain stagnant at the bottom of the glass.

In any case, these nozzles are still another type of delivery nozzle.

NOTE: At Ok Reforma Piscina we do not recommend the discharge nozzles at the bottom of the pool due to the possible problems they may cause after installation.

Our suggestion is not to install this type of pool bottom nozzle and instead, instead, invest in a Automatic pool cleaner (robot).

pool sump liner

Pool drain

Function Main drain or pool sump

The pool drain performs the following functions: facilitate the emptying of the interior of the pool glass, collaborate with the self-wash cleaning of the filter and facilitate the complete aspiration of the pool water.

Although, cNote that while it can be used to drain the pool, it is rarely used that way. Typically, it performs the same function as skimmers.

This allows for better circulation as water is removed from the top by the skimmers and from the bottom by the main drain.

Where is the pool drain located?

generally the sump will always be installed in the deepest part from the inside of the pool glass.

Newer inground pools typically have two main drains.

It should be noted that the newest in-ground pools usually have two drains.main drains, becoming a safety measure to reduce the suction force in case something, or someone, blocks one of the drains.

Pool drain models

There are different types of drains, depending on the manufacturing material (ABS plastic, stainless steel, etc.) and the shape (round or square).

Nozzles with integrated cleaning system

What is a nozzle system with integrated cleaning

An in-ground pool cleaning system uses pop-up cleaners to clean the pool of debris and dirt.

They're called pop-ups because they literally come out of the pool floor to clean and then retract back in when they're done.

Pool Valet cleaning system operation

So, the Pool Valet is an effective cleaning system, composed of a six-way distribution valve that receives water and distributes it sequentially to a series of nozzles located at the bottom of the pool.

The working time of the Valve is calculated by a hydraulic effect, so the Valve does not need additional elements to program it.

The Distribution Valve's ingenious internal mechanism works with water flow and pressure, is completely hydraulic, and has exceptional durability and reliability.

Due to their exceptional durability, the cleaning nozzles do not have any mechanism to operate them, as does the Distribution Valve. This dirt is sent to a large Pre-Filter, the Debris Container, which deposits the waste for later disposal.

When are Pool Valet systems installed?

Net'N'Clean nozzles
Net'N'Clean nozzles

They are typically installed when the pool is built and placed around the surface of the pool, including benches, steps, and walls.

Why the automatic cleaning system is not recommended for liner pools

Pool cleaners aren't always to blame for a vinyl pool liner disappearing, but they can be.

Pool grommet

The function of pool grommets It is a connection between the nozzles either for impulsion or suction and thus join them to the pipe that will go to the pool treatment plant, in this way these products are the perfect complement to install the nozzles in the pool.

Pool grommet characteristics

  • Basically, the most common pool grommets are those that cover the range of 150 and 300 mm long PVC grommets that facilitate the recessing of the delivery and suction nozzles.
  • They are of adaptable length, facilitating the assembly and replacement of nozzles in concrete pools.
  • Designed with holes in the ribs of the flange that allow the grommet to be positioned to the pool structure, simplifying installation.
  • Furthermore, they are available in different models on the market and also in concrete pools and for prefabricated and liner pools.

Above ground pool pool material

above ground pool

Above ground pool configuration slightly different than in-ground pool

The circulation process is exactly the same as in-ground pools, but the configuration is slightly different.

Pool glass material for an above ground pool

For one thing, above ground pools generally only have a skimmer and a return (drive) nozzle.

Additionally, the suction and return lines are much shorter and do not run underground like they do in an inground pool. This makes them much easier to repair or replace when necessary.

Other than that, the water still leaves the pool, through the skimmer, through the pump, through the filter and through the return jet back to the pool.
