How does installation and installation take place?
Before purchasing a hot tub, you need to decide where it will be installed. The container is installed either in the washing room or outside. It can be placed outdoors in 2 ways: simply on the ground or like a swimming pool in a dug pit. The first method is much simpler due to the communications involved.
For any installation method, a flat surface should be prepared to prevent distortions in the structure.
Lowering the bowl into the hole is not difficult; ropes and boards will come in handy. Then the voids between the walls of the font and the pit are filled with sand. Backfilling should be done while simultaneously filling the container with water, this will prevent deformation of the walls. Moreover, the water level should always be 15-20 cm above the level of the filled sand.
At this point the installation process is complete, the font is ready for use. The entire installation process takes a maximum of 2 days and does not require any technical knowledge.

Material for making a font
The most common material for making a font is wood or plastic, or rather polypropylene. Bathtubs made of wood look aesthetically presentable, but these types of bathtubs have one significant drawback: the wood shrinks when it dries.
To give an analogy for comparison, a wooden font, like a barrel, must be constantly in a humid environment in order to avoid shrinkage of the wood and the natural appearance of cracks in the sides of the product. So, recently, bath fonts made from blue polypropylene have become increasingly popular. Thanks to the modern properties of the plastic used, polypropylene hot tubs do not require much attention to operate. In everyday care they are no different from enamel bathtubs; it’s also easy enough to wash with a cleaning agent and that’s it.

Plastic font
Let us analyze with you the production of a font for relaxation in a bathhouse from the most common material at the moment, this is blue polypropylene. Of all the varieties of materials used to create a hot tub, plastic is the most ideal material, and to be more precise, blue-blue polypropylene. A plastic hot tub, unlike its wooden counterparts, does not require additional, more complex care. Since plastic is not subject to rotting and cracking, the service life of a polypropylene bathtub is many times greater than that of other analogues.
What to do if the bathhouse has already been built?
You need to think about installing a swimming pool in a bathhouse before starting construction. But often circumstances change, and there is a desire to still add a water tank to the room. What to do in this case?
The owner may consider several options:
Install a ready-made prefabricated structure made of plastic or wood inside. As already mentioned, they can be used after delivery and assembly.
Open up the floors and make a hole in the ground. It is better not to try this method yourself. There is a high chance of damaging the entire structure. Such work can only be entrusted to professionals. Moreover, it is desirable that the same specialists who built the bathhouse work on the project.
If the bathhouse is very small, then you can add another building to the main room, which will already house one of the desired options.
Selecting a location
If you plan to build swimming pools for your dacha in open areas - on plots, then choose a location based on:
- Remoteness from other buildings and fences;
- Proximity to communications;
- Sunny side of the yard;
- Smooth surface.
If the surface is not too level, then level it, removing all roots, debris, bulky stones, etc. If you plan to place the font on the ground, then it is better to concrete the leveled surface. If you dig in a little, it’s also better to make the foundation strong and waterproof. In a bathhouse, when installing a font, you must also take into account that water will pour out of it one way or another, so the base must be sealed and it would be better if there is a separate drain on the floor of the bathhouse or sauna.
Distinctive features
All swimming pools have common characteristics, despite their enormous diversity in properties, materials, structure, shape, material, etc.:
- Small;
- Typically oval or round;
- Does not require large space;
- Do not serve as a swimming pool;
- Huge selection of ready-made designs;
- Different colors - to suit any design of the site or room;
- Economical during construction;
- Easy to maintain.
As a rule, a plunge pool performs one important function - to improve the health of its owner. Whether it’s the fonts of baths, saunas or pools in the garden - all of them are designed so that during the heat and heat a person can plunge into cool water. And contrasting temperatures in combination with water procedures mean sports training and increased immunity.
Is it worth making a swimming pool in a bathhouse?
A swimming pool is not a necessary solution for any bathhouse. It will not be possible to install it in every room. It will be a good option in large steam rooms. A bulky tank in a small place will “eat up” all the free space and comfort and will only get in the way.
Of course, for small steam rooms you can install a hydromassage structure in which you can take spa treatments. But a regular pool won't be of much use.
In addition, you need to understand that installing a pool comes with additional costs. Not only will a large area be required, but also a lot of additional equipment, for example, for supplying and filtering water.
When is it a bad option?
It is clear that a small building is not suitable for installing a tank. Owners who are not technically prepared to maintain it should also refrain from building a pool.
You need to understand that you will need to regularly check the equipment and keep it in good condition. It is also worth thinking about timely cleaning of the tank. All this requires not only financial, but also time, so not every bathhouse owner can handle it.
About the benefits of wooden fonts
There is no need to talk about the benefits of wood at all - everyone knows that energy and beneficial wood substances improve health and improve tone. But it is recommended to build fonts from moisture-resistant tree species:
- Cedar;
- Larches;
- Tree Flounder;
- Duba.
They have all the necessary qualities and will last a long time with proper use and care. Before using the oak and cedar plunge pool for the first time, fill it with water for two days. Do not worry that the water has turned black, this is a natural process of these rocks coming into contact with moisture. But then the water will always be clear and healthy. These baths have one drawback - they are expensive. If you need to save money, you can resort to pine bathtubs covered with a film processed at high temperatures. The effect is practically the same, and the costs are an order of magnitude lower.
IMPORTANT! To avoid the wood drying out, it is recommended to replenish the font with water at least once a week, and after the procedures, cover it with a lid or wooden flooring. It is also necessary to ensure good bottom ventilation.
Wooden swimming pools should be treated with a damp cloth, or gentle chemicals can be used. But don’t scrub with hard brushes or sponges. This will help change the tightness of the font, especially if its surface is coated with varnish or other waterproofing mixtures.
Some manufacturers use specially prepared and treated thermal films with a pine color. The advantage of this material is that, with almost the same good characteristics, it costs much less than valuable wood species.
Construction of a capital pool - important points
First of all, the construction of a capital pool will require a project. It is necessary to calculate the dimensions of the pit. The shape and depth can be chosen arbitrarily by the owner, but based on the available area of the room.
Expert opinion
Lovkachev Boris Petrovich
Bath master who knows everything about steaming
Important! Even if the tank is small, the water poured into it weighs, according to conservative estimates, about 10 tons. Particular attention must be paid to calculations to understand how thick the walls must be to support such a weight.
Fortunately, there are many ready-made projects that can be used for construction. The situation is much more complicated if ready-made solutions are not suitable.
In this case, you need to take into account many nuances when designing:
- Depth of groundwater. There should be at least 1 meter from the bottom of the pool to them.
- It is also necessary to leave at least 30 cm between the walls of the tank and the foundation of the bathhouse.
- In this case, the pit must be dug 25-40 cm deeper than the maximum depth required, and in width this value must be at least 50 cm greater.
- You need to think in advance about the location where the water purification equipment will be located.
The pouring and construction of the pool walls are carried out simultaneously. A reinforced frame and formwork are installed around the perimeter.
Important! All walls must be the same in thickness, and pouring must be carried out without interruptions. For this reason, if necessary and a large area, you may need a concrete mixer or ordering a ready-made solution (which will cost even more).
After the bowl is poured, you will have to wait about 30 days for the concrete to set completely. Then you can begin finishing work, leveling and plastering the walls, and carrying out waterproofing.
The most affordable and reliable type of waterproofing is PVC film. For a long service life, it is better to take films with a thickness of at least 3 mm. To prevent slipping, you can choose a film with a rough surface.
As for design, options with a single color (for example, blue), mosaic effects, stone chips, etc. are quite popular.
After the work with the bowl is completed, you can proceed to other concerns: think about water supply, heating, filtration equipment and other nuances.
