The spa setting
Planning the surrounds of a spa pool is as important as good maintenance. The two complement each other because thoughtful planning will make maintenance minimal. Timber decking, cobblestone paving, and imitation lawn can be incorporated into the surrounds. The' following is an indication of the costs per square metre for these materials: timber decking, $100; cobblestone paving, $25 to $3O; pebble finish, $22; ordinary concrete, $l7; mosaic tile’s for the floor. $80; clay, $BO.
Indoor Pools If the pool is indoors, then it will be essential to take precautions against condensation. Extract fans will be necessary. It is' recommended that the air is changed every 12 hours by high level outlets and low level inlets. The air temperature should be maintained at about three degrees higher than the water temperature. Double glazing and insulated walls will also help to reduce the problem of condensation. Non-slip, sloping floors are recommended
