Pool safety is a central issue for us. Whenever we\u2019re faced with a new private swimming pool project, we emphasize the importance of getting advice and ensuring that an expert pool builder is in charge of designing it in accordance with the strictest safety regulations.<\/strong><\/p>\n From our experience, and that of many owners, we know that deck-level pools are safer than traditional skimmer pools. In today’s post, Jordi Cantacorps, commercial director of Rosa Gres<\/strong>, explains how deck-level pools can help us improve children’s safety during bathing and play:<\/p>\n In deck-level pools, the water level – and, therefore, the waterline – is at the same height as the pool deck. This makes it possible to see the entire surface of the swimming pool, with any bathers fully visible. No corner cut-offs or blind spots are created, and it is possible to maintain constant visual contact with children when they are in the water. <\/strong>This factor facilitates supervision by the person responsible for the safety of the children.<\/p>\n The advantage of having the waterline at the same level as the pool deck also improves visibility from the water. Because of this, once you\u2019re submerged, it’s easier to see the edge and reach it in order to get out of the water.<\/p>\n The pieces of porcelain stoneware that finish off the coping of a deck-level swimming pool feature indentations known as grips<\/strong>. Thanks to these grooves, holding on to the edge is easier and it is safer to rest there<\/p>\n In deck-level pools, the water is constantly replaced at very short intervals.<\/strong> Hygiene is one of the reasons why in hotels and sports clubs, all swimming pools are of the deck-level type. If we bear in mind that 1) children are fascinated with water and 2) are more vulnerable than adults, it\u2019s clear why enhanced hygiene is an effective preventative healthcare measure.<\/p>\n We would also do well to bear in mind that:<\/u><\/p>\n Preventing and minimizing any unexpected falls or slips into water by children is another important accident prevention measure. Anti-slip floors are the best option.\u00a0All Rosa Gres porcelain stoneware colors<\/a> have an anti-slip finish<\/strong>. It\u2019s very easy to clean, and very pleasant to touch. It is essential that the edge and deck of the pool be anti-slip.<\/p>\n Nowadays there is a tendency to build swimming pools with the same depth across the entire surface. Older facilities used to have a slope, and there were areas where you couldn\u2019t touch the bottom.\u00a0Today many pools are made with a height of 1.40 m.\u00a0<\/strong>They are perfect for cooling down or swimming, and they increase bather safety.<\/p>\n Overflow pool are beautiful. And now you also know they help improve safety and hygiene. But that\u2019s not everything, because they offer many more advantages.
