At the moment, there are many technologies and trends in the design of swimming pools. The Discount-House company will help you choose the right option according to your wishes and budget.
Concrete is the most common material for the manufacture of pools in Crete, regardless of whether the water filtration technology is "overflow" or "skimmer". Until 1980, all pools in Crete in our country were built of concrete, which provides high strength and freedom in design. Technical implementation and production should be based on electromechanical research and customer requirements, taking into account possible subsequent changes in the future. All this should be provided for.

Let's take a closer look at 2 water filtration and purification technologies.
Overflow technology
Overflow technology is very effective, as water overflowing the pool displaces a dirty layer of water into the overflow tray, which is located around the perimeter of the pool in Crete, keeping the water surface always clean. Water, as a rule, moves from the bottom to the surface, creating a wonderful water exchange. At the same time, it gives the feeling of a small lake, perfectly combined with the environment. In order for the system to work, a compensation tank is required, usually located in the basement next to the engine room. It is suitable for the bowl-shaped and polygonal shape of the pool in Crete.
Skimmer technology
The "skimmer" technology is very simple and economical, as it does not require a compensation tank and is ideal for rectangular small and medium-sized pools. The water flow supplied to the pool in Crete through the water return nozzles displaces the contaminated water to the intake device, which is called a "skimmer". An accurate choice of the location of the holes mounted in the walls of the pool is required for proper water circulation and water purification.
