A villa with a swimming pool seems to be high on the wish list of most people coming to live here in Spain. The thought of owning your own pool conjures images of glamour, especially after watching all those glittering movies and seeing the lifestyle that movie stars enjoy – most of us hanker for a chunk for ourselves – and why not.
Being a proud possessor of your own swimming pool isn’t all a bed of roses though. The first thing you have to learn is how to actually handle it. If you’re not prepared to put in a little work, forget it.
Swimming pools garner mess.
Leaves blow in, dust falls, insects settle on the surface and drown. A swimming pool collects spiders, ants, and sometimes mud –rainstorms are often filthy, especially the ones in the Alicante area of Spain. All manner of dirt is washed out of a previously dusty atmosphere and deposited into your sparkling pool.
Most modern swimming pools have a pumped filtration system of some kind to help maintain it in a healthy state. The system filters out surface and suspended matter, but inevitably, debris settles on the pool floor
A swimming pool has to be cleaned at least once a week so be prepared to handle a water vacuum cleaner – twice a week sometimes. After debris has been sucked into the sand filter, the filter has to be backwashed to rid the debris to drain. Several times a year the whole of the swimming pool floor and walls need brushing, and the water subsequently treating with flocculent. Brushing creates a cloudy haze in the water and sometimes this takes a few days to settle unless flocculent is used
