Public swimming pools in Italy Private Pools in Italy it is estimated that of the pools in Italy are not used It is estimated that of swimming pools in Italy are made of PVC of swimming pools with ceramic or natural stone lining il of swimming pools coated with paint

of the public swimming pools were built before 1991 is the increased value of property after installation of a swimming pool every years a swimming pool needs maintenance and adaptations Ref. Volteco Research Centre Data referred to italian market Solutions for waterproofing of pools

Types of pools When it comes to the construction of a swimming pool, there are many aspects to consider. The first point is certainly the choice of type. In fact, it is clearly different to design an underground pool compared to a rooftop one. In the first case, a complete geotechnical approach must be carried out, while in the second case, all aspects of exposure to meteorological and climatic events must be considered with the relative greater possibilities of movement of the building. In the presence of underground pools, internal and/or external waterproofing must be provided, resistant to...

Technical issues HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE When you have to proceed with the construction of a swimming pool, it is essential to choose a waterproofing system resistant to hydrostatic pressure. The two types of hydrostatic pressure have the following characteristics: Negative hydrostatic pressure The waterproofing undergoes a detachment attempt due to water buoyancy. The condition of negative hydrostatic pressure, in fact, occurs when the liquid exerts pressure at the coating’s adhesion interface, thus exerting pressure to detach the coating from the substrate. Positive hydrostatic pressure The waterproofing...

Technical issues The main critical points, as for all the artefacts subject to hydraulic pressure in the swimming pool area, are: Construction joints Structural injuries Expansion joints RECURRING ISSUES • Groundwater infiltration • Infiltration in utility rooms To pay attention to the water table, both constant and Infiltrations in the technical rooms, the heart of the pool, temporary, is the first point to be taken into account when are often caused by incorrect treatment of the concrete building a underground pool. Even existing polls can be casting, by a lack of waterproofing, by any cracks...

Pools are very often customised with shapes, cladding, perimeter edge, internal staircase, diving board, handrail. These are all critical points to take into account when designing waterproofing. In addition, the pool is an environment where the water constantly needs to be filtered and purified to maintain the right parameters for safe and comfortable bathing. It is therefore also important to pay attention to the system chosen to manage water recirculation in order to design the most appropriate waterproofing. • Skimmers Characterized by the water level below the external surface of about 5/10/15...
