PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL

WATER TREATMENT
An efficient water treatment of a private swimming pool is necessary mainly for
ensuring healthy condition to every owner that can not undertake any risk for his
personal and family health.
Therefore a proper filtration and disinfection processes are needed for maintaining
crystal clear water and for preventing the transmission of infectious waterborne
diseases.

CONVEYANCE OF WATER
A safe and efficient conveyance of water involved in every swimming pool and SPA facilities is also necessary for
avoiding chemical corrosion problems and for maintaining low O&M costs.
PVC-U and PVC-C resins guarantee excellent chemical resistance, optimal thermal stability and an extremely
extended lifetime. PVC-U and PVC-C systems offer pipes and fittings for solvent welding to convey swimming pool
and SPA water under pressure at a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C. The range includes a complete
choice of ball valves, butterfly valves and check valves.

CHEMICAL DOSING
The chemical dosing is a crucial part of swimming pool and aqua park processes because the suspended particles are
different in size, composition, charge and density.
The addition of coagulants and flocculants is an essential method used before the filtration process and it is necessary to
destabilize and agglomerate colloidal matters. In most of these cases, the chemicals used are corrosive and dangerous.
For this reason, it is required high chemical resistance and extended lifetime of the system.

SAND FILTRATION
Sand filtration is the heart of the process and it is used for achieving an accurate removal of suspended solids and
pathogens. This kind of filtration system is the most common and simple to use with low maintenance and long
lifetime. Furthermore, the sand, as filter medium, is easy to find in the market and the filtration quality can improve
thanks to coagulation and flocculation processes.
Sand filtration system is equipped with automated backwashing and rinsing in order to keep a high level of
efficiency.

MEMBRANE FILTRATION
Membrane filtration is another common kind of pool filter for the removal of particulates and natural organic
material. Particularly, microfiltration (MF) through cartridge filter is the most used membrane filtration in the
swimming pool & SPA industry, removing material up to approximately 5 microns. MF filters finer particles and
requires less water flow and less energy than a sand filter. On the other side, the cartridge filter uses a paper filter
medium which simply does not last as long as sand media and requires replacement every 3-5 years.

DISINFECTION AND PH ADJUSTMENT
The disinfection has the aim to destroy pathogens harmful to the health of the bather, to keep the water clear,
disinfected and without unpleasant odors. Today the most common system for water disinfection is chlorine since
it oxidizes both the organic and the metal substances in the water and disinfects it from bacteria and virus. On the
other hand, the pH control and adjustment is very important for the swimmer comfort and for the protection of
the pool system and its components.

famous water.
All the thermal baths of the SPA facility have a specific water
temperature and a dedicated water treatment plant that includes
sand filtration, UV system, disinfection and pH adjustment skids.
QC Terme, one of the most important and innovative player for
thermal and wellness sectors and hotel accommodations, gives
experiences that improve the quality of life and moments of
gratification, vitality and joy. Thermal baths, wellness centers and

OLYMPIC SWIMMING FACILITIES
BRAZIL
PROJECT
The Rio 2016 Olympics has chosen the Italian company Myrtha
Pools to equip all 18 swimming facilities with state-of-the-art
pool technology and FIP valves. For the first time, the Olympic
swimming and water polo competitions are held in temporary
pools that have been dismounted and repositioned in other
Brazilian locations at the end of the event.
This has been possible because the swimming facilities were
made by Myrtha Pools with the innovative modular system
Myrtha, developed in over 50 years of know-how and expertise
increasing.

TECHNICAL SOLUTION
FIP is proud to have contributed to the success of this
prestigious Italian company through several years of constant
collaboration focused on the improvement of our valves, in order
to satisfy the requirements of reliability, simplicity of installation
and long life required by the plant designers and engineers.
Today, FIP can be proud to have provided the over 1000 ball
valves (VEE series) and butterfly valves (FE e FK series), from
DN25 to DN300, that have been installed in the water treatment
plants of the Olympic Park in Rio, the heart of each pool.
Ball check valves (SXE series), sediment strainer valves
(RV series), angle seat check valves (VR series) and fittings
complete the thermoplastic package for this important project.

HEALTH AND SAFETY ABOVE ALL
The health, safety and well being of our employees
are our top priority. We aim to raise our overall safety
performance, with a goal of zero accidents worldwide.
Our global safety community, consisting of HSE
managers from our different divisions, is dedicated to
streamlining the structural exchange and the transfer of
best practices.
COMMITTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Lifecycle analyses have shown that plastic pipe
systems are not only more environmentally-friendly but
also healthier alternatives to pipes made from other
materials. But we don’t rest on our laurels. Environmental
protection is taken into account for each of our business
processes. Our environmental programme defines
specific KPIs for monitoring CO2 emissions, non-recycled
waste and water consumption. It also includes initiatives
aimed at sharing best practices and training, as well as
raising environmental awareness among our employees.
