RENOVATION - SERAPOOL Porcelain

110 Pool and Aquapark According to Çağrı Dursun EJDER, Project Coordinator at Günsu Energy Systems Inc., details ranging from pump selection to filtration capacity, check valve positions, and electrical panels form the basis of the most common problems encountered in pool and aquapark renovations. These elements, which directly affect safety, hygiene, and performance, can lead to major malfunctions if not handled with care during the design, implementation, and operation phases. ” “ The Most Common Mechanical Plumbing Problems in Pool Renovations The most common problems encountered in pool renovations are pump failures, hardening of the sand used in filter systems due to the use of incorrect chemicals, and sand replacement due to reduced filtration capacity. When building a pool, the filtration system project is often not carried out, or the necessary care is not always taken when preparing the project. Therefore, the most frequently malfunctioning installations in the project-selected materials and system application are valves with incorrectly selected capacity and, in particular, check valves. Themost common repairs performed by pool plumbers include fixing sagging caused by improperly applied brackets in pipe connections between the pool and the machine room, and repairing water leaks in pipe fittings using PVC welding. Mechanical Plumbing-Related Problems in Aquapark Renovations To summarize some of the most important mechanical plumbing problems most frequently encountered in aquapark renovations, the pumps are THECRITICALIMPORTANCEOFMEC not at the required pressure and water flow rate for the types, characteristics, and intended use (boat or fast) of the slides. This situation leads to dissatisfaction and non-use by slide users because it does not provide a comfortable sliding experience. As a result, it may be necessary to change the slope of the slide or add/remove parts. Due to the height of the slide exit towers, when the pump connected to the slide is turned off or there is a power outage, the water in the pump’s discharge line flows back, causing a water hammer (reverse pressure) impact on the pump. The connection points of the check valves on the line are very important to prevent this water hammer. “ Çağrı Dursun EJDER explained in detail the renovation processes in pools and aquaparks, the problems encountered during these processes, and the solution methods. ” EXPERT OPINION: SERAPOOL l RENOVATION
