Yuanwang Baili · 10~20㎡ Hot Spring Pool Construction Guide for Beginners (Indoor/Outdoor Universal)
A 10~20㎡ hot spring pool is a small to medium-sized private pool that balances practicality and comfort. It can be built both indoors and outdoors, following three core steps: structural construction, water treatment equipment installation, and pipeline laying & commissioning. Below is a simplified guide that even beginners can easily follow.
I. Pool Structure: Focus on Safety and Comfort
Priority is given to designing a seated hot spring pool, with key attention to size layout, foundation load-bearing, waterproofing and thermal insulation. Specific requirements are as follows:
-
Size and Layout: The pool edge is 45-50cm above the ground (for easy access), and the water depth is 70-75cm (the water level reaches the chest when seated). A 30-40cm wide seating platform is added inside (to improve long-sitting comfort); for 10-15㎡, a rectangular shape is recommended, while for 15-20㎡, an arc-shaped design can be adopted with a reserved access passage.
-
Foundation Load-Bearing: The ground bearing capacity must be ≥300kg/㎡, using C30 concrete pouring with a thickness of not less than 15cm. If built on the second floor or roof, load-bearing verification must be completed in advance.
-
Waterproofing Treatment: Double-layer flexible waterproofing is applied – first brush polymer cement-based waterproof coating, then lay waterproof rolls such as polypropylene fiber cloth, with arc reinforcement at internal and external corners; after completion, a 24-hour water tightness test is required to confirm no water leakage before proceeding to subsequent processes.
-
Thermal Insulation Measures: A 50mm thick polyurethane insulation layer is installed on the pool wall, wrapped with an aluminum foil moisture-proof layer on the outside; outdoor pools need an additional cement mortar protective layer to resist sun and rain and reduce heat loss.
II. Water Treatment Equipment: 3 Essential Sets to Ensure Water Quality and Temperature
The water quality and temperature of the hot spring pool rely on three core sets of equipment, responsible for spring generation, temperature control, and purification respectively. Specific configurations and requirements are as follows:
-
Spring Generation Core: Intelligent Hot Spring Machine - Can simulate various mineral hot springs such as carbonated springs, iron springs, and sulfur springs, enriching bathing experience and health-preserving effects; selection must match the pool water volume, prioritizing models that support intelligent temperature control and one-click spring quality switching.
-
Temperature Control Guarantee: Heating System + Constant Temperature Water Tank - Its core function is to stabilize the water temperature in the human comfort range of 38-42℃; a 10㎡ pool is recommended to be equipped with a 30kW heating power, and the constant temperature water tank capacity is not less than 1.5m3.
-
Purification and Circulation: Filtration and Circulation System (including filter and circulating pump) - Can filter impurities in water, kill bacteria, and keep water clear and odor-free; the filter preferably uses quartz sand material, and the circulating pump must meet the requirement of 1-2 pool water circulations per hour.
III. Pipeline Laying & Commissioning: Follow Steps to Ensure Stable Operation
Pipeline laying and equipment commissioning are key final steps. Follow the steps below to ensure stable operation of the hot spring pool:
-
Pipeline Laying: Use corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel pipes or PPR pipes. The diameter of the water supply and return main pipes is not less than 50mm, and the spacing between circulating branch pipes is controlled at 80-100cm. All interfaces are properly sealed to prevent water leakage.
-
Equipment Installation: Install the intelligent hot spring machine, heating system, filtration and circulation system, etc., according to the design drawings. Reserve a maintenance space of not less than 0.8m×1m around the equipment for easy subsequent maintenance.
-
Commissioning and Trial Operation: First, conduct a pipeline water pressure test (pressure not less than 0.6MPa, maintaining no pressure drop for 30 minutes); then inject clean water to start the circulation system for trial operation; finally, turn on the intelligent hot spring machine to debug the spring quality and water temperature. It can be officially used after all indicators are normal.
Yuanwang Baili Warm Reminder: The waterproofing and load-bearing links in structural construction are crucial and must not be neglected; it is recommended to choose professional brands for equipment for more worry-free subsequent maintenance. Indoor pools need good ventilation, and outdoor pools can be equipped with sunshades and protective railings to improve usability and safety.
