RENOVATION - SERAPOOL Porcelain

98 Electrical leakage is one of the most critical stages as it can cause serious accidents. Compliance with TSE Standards: • Regardless of the system used, the mechanical and electrical infrastructure within the concrete must be installed in accordance with TSE standards. • Any application that does not comply with these standards directly jeopardizes the safety of insulation, mechanical, and electrical systems. This stage is one of the most critical steps in pool renovation; if the mechanical and electrical infrastructure is not completely sound and safe, it is never possible to proceed to insulation and coating operations. The safe and long-term use of the pool depends on the complete implementation of these measures. 5. Reinforced Concrete Inspection and Structural Repairs After mechanical and electrical testing, reinforced concrete details are evaluated: • Cracks are identified. • If necessary, epoxy grouting or stitching methods are applied. • Structurally risky areas are reinforced. Then: • New plaster-screed is applied in the required amount. • The insulation phase is not started until the reinforced concrete is completely secure. 6. Professional Waterproofing Pool waterproofing is one of the most critical stages determining the structure’s lifespan. SERAPOOL l RENOVATION BEFORE 4. Electrical Safety and Mechanical Room Precautions: A Vital Step In pool renovation, electrical and mechanical infrastructure is of vital importance, far ahead of aesthetic or mechanical issues. If care is not taken in this regard, serious accidents and loss of life can occur. The recent death of Manisa Mayor Ferdi Zeyrek due to an electrical leak in the machine room highlights the magnitude of this risk. Pool panels, lighting fixtures, and all surrounding electrical systems are critical areas that require careful attention. Therefore: • A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) system must be present in pool panels and home panels. • Panels and electrical installations must be designed to be resistant to water and moisture, and proper grounding must be ensured. • Proper design of the mechanical room is essential for the safe operation of pools. • In mechanical rooms, adequate ventilation and a natural drainage system must be established, taking into account the high humidity of the environment. • Access to mechanical rooms should be provided via a side staircase whenever possible. Periodic Inspection and Maintenance: • Pool panels and electrical systems must undergo technical inspections at least every six months. • Standards and inspection bodies should be established to oversee these processes.
