Pool anatomy
Understanding the parts of a pool helps in maintenance.
PART 01
Deck
The deck is the area surrounding the pool, providing space for seating, lounging, and safe entry into the water.
- cracking or settling over time
- surface becomes slippery when wet
- fading or staining from sun exposure
PART 02
Coping
Coping is the material used to cap the pool shell wall, providing a finished edge between the pool and the deck.
- cracks or chips due to weather changes
- loose or shifting pieces
- staining from pool chemicals or debris
PART 03
Waterline
The waterline is the line on the pool wall where the water meets the tile or lining, often marked by decorative tiles.
- build-up of mineral deposits
- damage or discoloration from UV rays
- tiles coming loose or falling off
PART 04
Basin
The basin is the main structure of the pool that holds the water, typically constructed from concrete, fiberglass, or vinyl liner.
- cracks in the surface
- leaks causing water loss
- algae growth on the walls
PART 05
Plumbing
Plumbing refers to the pipes and fittings that circulate water to and from the pool filter system and other features.
- leaks in the pipe joints
- blockages affecting water flow
- corrosion of metal components
PART 06
Filter
The filter removes dirt and debris from the pool water, ensuring clarity and cleanliness.
- clogging with debris
- filter media wears out over time
- leaks around the filter housing
PART 07
Pump
The pump circulates water through the filter system, maintaining water flow and pool cleanliness.
- motor failure or burnout
- leaks in the pump casing
- loss of suction affecting circulation
PART 08
Drain
The drain collects water and debris from the pool's surface and bottom, channeling it towards the filter system.
- blockages from debris accumulation
- suction issues that can be hazardous
- damaged covers posing safety risks
