Pool and swimming pool Mallorca - 10 important points for pool construction in Mallorca
A private pool in the garden is the dream of almost every homeowner. However, there are numerous things to consider when building a private swimming pool on the island. The company „Sun Pool Mallorca S.L.“ provides answers to the most important questions.
What type of building permit is needed?
Just like building a house, you need a „projecto basico“ or „permiso de construcción“ to build a pool. This must be submitted or applied for at the municipality. This usually takes between three and twelve months, depending on the time of year and how busy the municipal administration is.
In order to be able to build a pool, the municipality differentiates according to the local conditions. There are zones such as nature reserves where no pool is permitted at all. But there are also various conditions that must be complied with in towns and cities. The requirements vary from municipality to municipality.
What other requirements need to be observed when building a pool?
The requirements are determined by the municipality and the municipal architect. There are also very different regulations here. In any case, clearances and emergency access routes must be observed, wastewater connections for the disposal of pool wastewater must be provided and a valid certificate of habitability (Cedula de Habitabilidad) must be available for the property.
What is there to consider when building a pool?
The pool company and the architect must always provide detailed advice to ensure that all regulations are complied with. In any case, the electricity and water supply as well as the drainage should be taken into account. The architect should clarify all other requirements with the respective municipality.
Which types of filter technology are particularly recommended on Mallorca?
Whether Mallorca, Ibiza or Germany: it is always important to use absolutely good, high-quality filter technology. Unfortunately, many customers often limit themselves to a minimum in this area and then have to contend with algae and other fast-growing bacteria in the summer. The chlorine tablet, for example, is not a solution and is also an absolute obsolete model. Today, there are very good disinfection systems that guarantee very good water quality.
What are the current trends in pool construction in Mallorca?
Nowadays, pools in slim, straight and simple shapes are all the rage. The swimming pool is absolutely on the rise, ideally equipped with a counter-current system. Many customers also want a pool with an electric cover with radio remote control and heating with an air heat pump or similar. This extends the duration of use to the whole year.
What should you bear in mind when hiring a pool construction company?
When hiring a pool construction company, it is very important that you have the company explain everything to you in detail, but also make your own ideas and wishes clear. It is also helpful to look at reference projects that the company has already built.
Customer contacts are also recommended, where you can find out whether this pool company has also implemented the customer's wishes seriously and reliably.
Where do you obtain care and maintenance materials (possibly chemicals) for pool care? You should always be able to obtain all chemicals from the pool construction company, as the company should also advise the customer on this and, if necessary, provide further support after the pool has been built. Service and technical maintenance contracts simplify the handling of pool systems and their maintenance.
How time-consuming is pool maintenance? What do you need to bear in mind?
In general, the maintenance of the technology should always be carried out by the company that installed the technology. This is primarily about the warranty. If maintenance is carried out by another company, the customer will lose the warranty claim.
How expensive is a pool under construction and what are the annual maintenance costs?
It's impossible to say, as the price always depends on the circumstances of the property and the future location of the pool, the equipment and the materials to be used. And, of course, the size of the pool. There is never the same pool. All pools have something of their own, which is a good thing, because the customer should decide how they want to design and equip their leisure facility, always with the support of the construction company, of course. The maintenance costs for technology and pools also always depend on the customer's wishes. The frequency of maintenance, the size of the pool and the technology installed determine how expensive it will be. The price should be tailored to the individual customer.Further information from the company
