The pools with vinyl use a vinyl plastic sheet to hold water within the pool. The vinyl material of the pool faces many external forces that can be stretched, cut or damaged. Toys or other objects left inside the pool and other desagarros cause coating damage, which may become a major leak. Patching vinyl siding to stop major leaks within a pool involves the application of a patch of adhesive vinyl.
Instructions
1. Locate and measure the tear, hole or any other damaged section of vinyl canvas. Cut a section of a leaf patch that measures a little more than the damaged section.
2. Applying a thick layer of adhesive vinyl waterproof or waterproof on one side of the vinyl sheet patch. Both adhesive vinyl waterproof and waterproof come in vinyl patch kits.
3. Push the leaf patch over the damaged section of the coating with the adhesive coated side touching the pool. Keep the blade against the coating for 30 seconds to allow the adhesive to adhere to the pool.
Tips and Warnings
Keep swimmers out of the pool for a few days after the patch is applied to prevent further damage to the coating.

How to fix the bottom of a pool
How to fix the bottom of a pool. It is very common for vinyl pools develop leaks in the background. It would take something too strong to crack a concrete pool, while a vinyl tarp eventually dries, becomes brittle and is more susceptible to cracking. Unlike concrete pools, finding a leak in a vinyl pool can be a difficult task.
Instructions
How to tell if you have a leak
1. Add water constantly to the pool is a good indicator that you have a leak. A good parameter to consider is that if you need to add 2 inches (5 cm) or more per week, you probably have a leak.
2. Determine if your loss is an area other than the bottom of the pool. If it leaks only when the system is running, probably indicates a leak in the plumbing. However, if the leak is continuous, it will most likely be in the background.
3. Walk around your pool and looking soft and wet areas on the floor or around the areas where the grass is greener on the other areas. Any of these may indicate a leak.
4. Check the inside of your pool for any cracks or sinks that could have been formed by water loss. Pay close attention to the corners and around the stairs near where the coating is put have narrowed areas and have small leaks.
5. Look near the water line. If you live in a cold climate, the spring thaw can cause a cut in the lining. It could also happen that an animal has fallen in the pool, scratching the walls.
6. Wear a mask and snorkel to find leaks in the bottom. There may be small air bubbles from the leak. Or, since any leaks come from dirt from the hole you should be viewed.
Fixing the pool's leak
1. Once you've found the leak, it's easy to plug them cutting or dividing a patch to make it a couple of inches or so a small hole to coat the lining.
2. Buy a kit of patches in your pool supply store. This kit contains a piece of vinyl siding and plastic cement works under or above water.
3. Cut a patch to plug the hole, scraping the back with sandpaper, then spread cement over the patch and place it over the hole (even underwater).
4. Alisa air bubbles and allow the cement to adhere.
5. Alternatively, you can use a sealant of a nitrile rubber base, available in some pool supply stores. With this product, simply spread the sealer over vinyl leaks without even using a patch. Even you can use it under water and seal small cuts in the coating. As an added bonus, it often comes out in a blue color to the color of the pool draw.

If the pool water is not reduced more than the bucket, you have a leak.
- Small leaks under water can be difficult to detect. Use food coloring or chemical phenol red in your water test kit. You must put a jet dye near where you suspect there is a hole and if there is, you will see the color closer to him.
- You can build your own kit of patches . For a dollar or two, most pool supply stores sell the remains or pieces of carpet installed. Vinyl Cement Patch is also easily found in the same store.

How to heat an unheated pool
Some pool owners make the decision to implement a system of electric heating or solar energy for your pool. Although it is very beneficial for those seeking hot water, can be expensive for some. The solar covers are not as effective as a dedicated heating system, but they can provide an economical alternative for those who do not have a heated pool. Solar roofs create a vapor barrier that traps the sun's heat, which is then used to heat the pool water.
Instructions
1 Measuring the surface of a pool, and determines the shape thereof. Most pool owners already know these dimensions. Solar covers are precut in most common sizes and shapes of pools.
2 Purchase a solar cover local pool store or an online retailer. The common plastic solar cover is light blue and has a similar bubble wrap used in e appearance. Remove the solar cover of the box.
3 Place the solar cover with bubbles down into the top of the pool surface. Remove the cover each time you add chemicals and when swimmers are in the pool. The cover can stay in the pool all other times. This also helps to reduce evaporation of water.

How to design a solar system to heat the pool water?
The creation of a solar pool heating at home is a popular low-cost way to heat a pool. The money you save not only on the creation of the unit itself, but by using free energy from the sun instead of electricity. There are many types of solar panels available units in order to create a solar heater. A solar panel can be easily designed for anyone with a deep knowledge of the operation of the pool.
Instructions
1 Draw a model of design in a single sheet of paper. While solar heaters pool can be all different, each has the common purpose of transferring heat from a panel that collects heat from natural sunlight to a heater next to a pool. While the panel does not have to be massive, the size should be able to store enough to heat the pool water heat. The exact size depends on the size of the pool area, and how much electricity is needed. The cooler weather is, the more heat that needs to be diverted to the heater.
2 Design a specific form for the solar panel. A panel need not be in the shape of a square as most popular panels. Plan a design circular or hexagonal trapping heat uniquely and efficiently. Removed design solar tube instead of the typical form of a flat panel. The tubes are made to heat the liquid inside them and bring heat to the heater. Most of the cylindrical tubes are designed for domestic water heater, which means that use as a swimming pool heater could be simple.
3 Consider adding special features to the solar panel. The placement of the legs in the panel allows for easy use in the heat of the day when the sun's rays are strongest. The detachable legs allow the unit to be stored inside at night. The mobile units can also be stored away during the winter or when not in use. If you do not want the legs, consider installing wheels on the drive so that it can be easily transported.
4 Select a location for the panel. The fact is that the heater for a pool does not mean that the panel should be placed next to this unit. The most obvious place for a panel may be on the roof of a house or a shed. Just make sure the wires from the panel to the heater will come without problems. If the roof is chosen to be the resting place of the panel, the cables can be linked to the structure. Consider burying the wires if you have to crawl through a courtyard.

Each zone will have a pool lined with rubber or polystyrene. The water in the swimming area of flowing waterfalls distibution. They send it through a biological filter and then pump it to the regeneration zone. The water is biologically cleaned metabolic processes in the vicinity of the regeneration zone, which is filled with the type of vegetation that will give you support. In other words, plants, algae and other impurities are eaten and then send the clean water back into the swimming area.
2. Design your new pool to look like a natural pond. You can build it with a square or rectangular shape, as many traditional pools, but most homeowners choose an irregular shape. The regeneration zone can be really swimming or other level.
3. It is of your new pool in any shade you choose. The coating comes in different colors like sky blue for a green or dark Mediterranean feeling to get the look of a mountain lake. The water in a pool is transparent, so it is important that you choose a color you like.
4. It borders both areas with rocks, gravel or any natural element you choose. Plant wildflowers and green plants to surround it. Add lilies and tropical foliage to the regeneration zone.

Many options are available for those wishing to design an indoor pool to enjoy all year round. To dream can become a reality by following a few basic tricks of design.
Instructions
1. Think about how you and others use the pool. Consider options that could benefit from the same space. Maybe you need a space that can be opened or may want to add an exotic waterfall. You could install the pool in a new home or add to your current residence. Anyway, these questions will help complete the design and the overall cost of future pool.
2. Plan your pool based on whether you are building a new home or extension. You can add a room to the pool in the plans if you're building a new house, but build on your current home could be more complicated. The interior ground pools are often built on the foundation of the house. The fiberglass models should be installed separately by model.
3. Consider the options if you plan to add to the pool structure exists. The most common option is to buy a unit to place on the ground. Note the ceiling height and space available, which limit the size of the pool. This should be located on the first floor or in a basement with a concrete base. This will support the weight of water. You could consider a further reinforcement of the floor below the pool to avoid structural damage.
4. Decide if an indoor / outdoor combination might be best for your home. If you put a little bored the entire indoor swimming pool, you might consider placing half the pool. Part of the pool is built in the courtyard while the rest is built inside. Rather than a wall, the pool will have a slice of fiberglass or aluminum which closes part of the pool in the winter to be only for indoor use. In other words, you can enjoy an outdoor pool in the summer and indoor in the winter.
5. Search online or through catalogs to find the right model for you. See photos showing how the pool will be indoors. Bring your ideas to a supplier or contractor pools and can help you plan more. Consider your budget as a pool is a long term investment that requires maintenance when in use. Also use electricity, which, if you use it all year, could increase your electricity bill by a good amount.

Paint the house with color that influences us
Chromotherapy teaches us how colors affect our emotions and how we can win harmony decorating each room with the right colors.
The colors affect us psychologically and physiologically. Have direct effects on our mood, but also on our body. That's basic right to choose the colors of our house, especially those that dominate the walls, as the surfaces are larger and therefore the most amount of color have. But it is important to be aware that a good use of color also relates to furniture, textiles and decorative accessories. Because the color effect of a stay is the color mix of all the elements that comprise it.
Chromotherapy
Mariano Bueno, color therapy specialist, says that "the perception of light and color was developed in relation to our environment. Its effects have their origin in the stimuli that were linked historically. For example, we associate red with danger because that is the color of blood, and opens the appetite because it is the color of the meat and ripe fruit. Instead, there are just as blue food, blue inhibits our appetite. The green meadow with blue sky background indicates that all is quiet, no storm and other grasses, so we can relax and enjoy. " But also there is another explanation for our ability to feel colors. "Today we know that we have photoreceptors in every sense of our skin, which perceive electromagnetic waves associated with light colors." And it has proven to be even able to vary our body temperature: a setting decorated with cool colors like blue, indigo, violet and green can lower our temperature and one with warm colors like red, orange or yellow, upload.
Common areas
The living room, as Fernando says Mainguyague of CIN "is the room that allows more color combinations." But it is best to use warm colors like earth tones, with touches of yellow paint, gray and even a touch of red. Warm colors that enhance sociability. "It is best to use light colors for the walls and add splashes of color with accessories Marieke Wielinga says the Aesthetic Center of Bruguer-in order to change and renovate the space easily. You can also paint a wall of a stronger color, but not the entire space to do so dark and small.
In the kitchen, orange and yellow colors, including shades of red, whet the appetite. Also Provencal colors (soft versions of the red, green and blue primary) are suitable for the kitchen.
As for the room, such as a stay usually integrated lounge or kitchen, your color should coordinate with the said estates.
The bathroom should predominate colors that provide breadth and clarity as beige, vanilla, blue or green water. Also the most intense blue, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.
In the office should reign quiet to concentrate, hence the most desirable colors are cold colors like green or blue, neutral and gray, which brings balance and stimulates the intellect. Also the yellow and orange increase concentration and mental activity.
Dormitories
As any room for a rest, bedroom should convey serenity and promote relaxation. Hence the most recommended colors for painting are cold, like blue, green or violet. Also not too gray and dark brown create serene and elegant atmosphere. The pastel shades of any color, which convey delicacy and sweetness, are most suitable for children's rooms, in which additions , furniture, textiles, decorative accessories ... - often provide notes of vibrant colors.
At home, more color and less stress

When a color dominates space, our brain "manufactures" the complementary color to achieve as close to white light spectrum (the most complete and balanced because it includes all electromagnetic frequencies). In decoration, make the dominant color with its complementary prevents our brains suffer fatigue and stress.

Combining these two colors in the decoration of a stay will always be aesthetically good and also we relax: being colors balance each other, save "work" to our brain.
Color and light, seeking harmony

Artificial light . Lamps and bulbs influence the perception of the colors of the house. The cold light (blue) flatten objects and warm (red and yellow) give volume and relief.
Furniture . To achieve a harmonious effect in the decoration, the furniture should be related to the color of the walls. In small spaces like them paint them and diminish their visual weight.
Proportion . Applies the standard of "60/30/10" to combine colors. The predominant (60%) should be clearer, the secondary (30%) somewhat darker and accessories (10%), more vibrant.
