Domestic Swimming Pools - Plumbing Engineering Services Design Guide

The domestic swimming pools chapter from the CIPHE's Plumbing Engineering Services Design Guide.

Pools have been installed in the UK for decades and although there are some dating back to the 19th century it has only been in the last 60 years or so that they have become really popular. There are now many companies that have been designing and installing swimming pools for a substantial number of years and it is a large industry within the region of two to three thousand pools being put in the ground each year.

These range from the large leisure centre pool,incorporating swimming areas and recreational areas, to the smaller club and school pools and to the domestic pool in the family home. The primary aim being to provide clear, warm, water that is safe to swim in and enjoy.

The installation of a swimming pool is not a particularly difficult operation, but like most specialities if you don’t know what you are doing things can go horribly wrong.
