If you’re a fan of the Olympic Games and swimming in particular, you’ll be familiar with the size of the pool (50 x 25 m). a person who drinks it? Depending on the depth, the pool holds between 1.25 million liters of water (1 m deep) and 2.5 million liters of water (2 m deep). And assuming we all drink between 2 and 4 liters of water a day, it would take a human more than 3,400 years to consume it.
In fact, many of us use up all the water in the smallest pool in just one year. It’s all due to the amount of “hidden water” we consume in our food. These numbers might be hard to believe, but here are some examples of how easy it is to calculate your water footprint based on three main meals a day, not even dessert!
Metal Frame Swimming Pool
Most above ground pools are made with steel or aluminum walls, resin, and metal posts. Steel frame pools are one of the most common types of above ground pools as they are extremely durable. The steel structure is attached to a liner that contains the water in the pool. Steel frame pools are stronger than aluminum and will resist warping for a much longer period of time, typically 5-10 years.
Steel is one of the cheapest pool materials. This is for a variety of reasons; it is light, easy to transport, recyclable and ergonomic in the long term thanks to its durability. Building a steel frame pool is easier than pouring concrete, making the actual installation of a steel pool much easier and cheaper for contractors.
Some outdoor steel frame swimming pools are suitable for both in-ground and above-ground use. Not all pools can be in-ground and with steel there are some stipulations. However, most above ground pools with metal walls can easily be adapted to be partially inground.
FAQS
Is a frame pool better than an inflatable?
Inflatable pools also tend to be shallower than their framed counterparts, and their thick, air-filled walls take up more space in your yard. Framed pools are generally sturdier and you can find them in larger sizes and depths.
How long do metal frame pools last?
Keeping your pool liner or liner in good condition can improve the life expectancy of your steel frame pool. Depending on the brand and with proper care, a pool can last up to 20 years.
Conclusion
Have you ever wondered how much water it contains and how long it can take a person to drink it? Depending on the depth, the pool holds between 1.25 million liters of water (1m deep) and 2.5 million liters of water (2m deep).
