Indoor Pool Considerations
Bookmark This Page | Send To A Friend
-
Pools placed in existing rooms are usually
installed above-ground, so there would
be no need to excavate. In some cases, it may make
sense to break through the existing floor to provide
for a partial or in-ground installation, particularly
if the user desires the optional deep area. Other
customers have built raised platforms around their
pools to make the pool appear in-ground.
- The optional retractable security cover
can control 100% of the pool's humidity if deployed when the pool is not in use. If the
pool is used less than one hour a day, a simple
room dehumidifier or a window fan (available in
department stores) is usually adequate for removing
excess humidity.
- The optional retractable security cover
also reduces heat loss and has a lock-down mechanism.
- When filled with water, the standard
Endless Pool exerts an evenly distributed load of
about 200 lbs./sq. ft. with a total weight of about
10 tons. Concrete floors on grade can generally
support this weight without issue. Please discuss
any concerns you may have with your design professional
and the Endless Pools, Inc. staff.
- Locating an Endless Pool above ground
floor requires the review of a professional
engineer to ensure that the upper-floor room has
the structural integrity to support the weight of
an Endless Pool.
- Endless Pools, Inc. highly recommends that both the pool
and Water Quality System be located near a floor
drain or that a sump pump be installed. These are necessary precautions for a 2,500-gallon
body of water. In addition, the area surrounding
the pool should be protected and appropriate floor
and wall covering materials utilized.
- Should you decide to relocate your pool, it can be unbolted and moved. Give us a call (800-910-2714)
and we will explain what is involved in relocating
a pool.
- If you provide a sketch of your room, our architects and designers may be able to offer
some helpful suggestions on pool and equipment location,
and installation possibilities.
