Equipment suitable for a small pool: the right choices
Whether for a garden or a patio area, it is essential to select the right equipment to ensure you create a pleasant experience whilst making maintenance easier. Here are some solutions offered by Kripsol®, designed to meet the specific requirements of small pools.
Creating a small pool at home is an increasingly popular trend amongst Europeans, in particular for pools smaller than 20 m³. This demand has grown in recent years, partly due to the epidemic lockdowns, pushing private homeowners to maximise the use of their outdoor space. The pool market in France has now approximately 3.5 million pools (in Spain 1.3 million), of which an increasing number are compact installations. They have been very popular due to their reduced costs, simplified installation and ideal adaptability to small spaces.
A compact and effective filtration system
Filtration is an essential process for maintaining clear, healthy water, in particular in small pools where renewal of the water is limited. By opting for a compact, high-performance filter, you will maximise effectiveness without taking up too much space. Kripsol® sand filters, like the GLV and GTV models, are practical and long-lasting solutions suitable for pools up to 65 m³. They guarantee high-quality filtration, essential for limiting the proliferation of bacteria and reducing the use of chemicals.
These systems are designed to easily integrate into small plant areas whilst providing maximum efficiency.
GLV filters (with a lateral valve) are equipped with a large opening which makes maintenance easier and a lateral valve in transparent polycarbonate, through which the interior can be seen for optimal water management. Their strenght, and their compatibility with salt or classic chemical water treatments make them a reliable choice for guaranteeing clean water. These silent filters are also an advantage in residential environment.
Simplify maintenance with automated solutions
Salt chlorination is an effective solution for treating the water in small pools whilst simplifying maintenance. With modern connected systems, the water parameters can be adjusted in real time via a mobile app, ensuring optimised management with minimum intervention. The Kripsol® KLX LS system, for example, automatically regulates the pH and ORP whilst adjusting the production of chlorine according to the pool requirements. Compatible with low salinity water, this device, which can be controlled remotely via the “My Kripsol Pool” app, can manage the lighting and the variable speed pumps, thus maximising energy savings.
In addition to saving energy, this system will extend the lifetime of the equipment by adapting the filtration and treatment cycles according to the actual conditions in the pool. These characteristics make automated salt chlorination an unavoidable option for those seeking to simplify management of their pool whilst ensuring optimal effectiveness.
Taking things one step further, Kripsol® also offers automated chemical regulation solutions. Dosing pumps (Pool LT, Pool pH, Pool RX) allow precise control of the pH and the ORP, providing you with connected and autonomous management of your pool. These devices are particularly useful for minimising the use of chemicals and reducing the environmental impact whilst conserving high water quality.
Choose compact equipment to maximise the use of space
The plant areas of small pools can quickly become filled up, so it is important to prioritise compact equipment which integrates easily, whilst offering excellent performance. The Kripsol® Ondina pump is an excellent example of equipment optimised for small spaces. It combines performance, and discretion, and is compatible with Kripsol® filtration systems.
Compatible with the GLV and GTV filters, it offers an ideal solution for small residential pools, while guaranteeing silent, high-performance operation, even in small technical areas. It is also designed to operate with salt water, which lends it great versatility.
In addition, its robustness guarantees sustainable use, thus limiting the need for frequent replacements.
Conclusion
Developing a small pool requires the right choices to be made in terms of equipment, to guarantee a pleasant experience and simplified maintenance. Kripsol® proposes reliable and adapted solutions, such as compact filters, connected chlorination systems, and high-performance pumps, which meet the specific requirements of small spaces. By choosing sustainable equipment that is easy to install, you optimise the efficiency of your pool whilst minimising maintenance work and the environmental impact. A well-equipped pool is not only a source of pleasure, but also a long-lasting asset for your outdoor space.
