It’s undeniable that being around Swimming Pools all day could be a lot of fun, if perhaps you were swimming in them. But, a swimming pool engineer must train hard and keep their knowledge and expertise up to speed. If this is a job that appeals to you, then you will need to consider the following before applying for a job:
Step 1. It often depends on the country you are in as to what the specific job requirements are. But, often employers will look for someone who has a background in one or more of the following areas: water treatment, heating ventilation or air conditioning, electrical or mechanical maintenance.
Step 2. If the company you’re looking at working for, work on powered gas Pool Heating systems, you will need to take examinations and tests in order to become a member of your countries’ associated gas body or organizations. So you should get qualified before applying to jobs which require such qualifications.
Step 3. You may need to take further examinations from the Institute of Pool Engineer’s (in the UK), or the relevant organization in your own country. Home study courses can be offered, and following on from passing the exams you will gain certification in: constructions, heating, filtration and chemicals.
Step 4. It may be that you are applying to a job that requires a certain amount of diving experience. If you don’t have any experience diving, we would recommend you get your PADI diving certificate before applying. Research if your local diving center offers these courses, and what the associated costs are. Or perhaps take a PADI course whilst you’re away on holiday.
Finally, to summarize a swimming pool service engineer can be a very exciting and varied job where no two days are the same. If you are interested in this job, it’s best to contact your local career’s advisory service or do some further research online as the requirements will change from time to time.

Are concrete or steel walls better for an inground swimming pool?
Steel walls are currently the lowest quality wall for a swimming pool, with the exception of Cyprus wood (if still available). Concrete (not gunite) is superior to any other wall, but a pool with concrete walls generally also has a concrete bottom. In other words, it is a concrete swimming pool. The most popular wall today for vinyl liner pools is fiberglass and, with the possible exception of concrete, is the best possible choice.

What is the typical length width and depth of an olympic swimming pool expressed in centimeters.?

What is the purpose of the hydrostatic valve and how do you release the pressure in it and does this valve need cleaning or other regular maintenance?
A hydrostatic relief valve prevents your swimming pool from wanting to become a 'boat'. If the bottom of the pool is below the level of ground-water, and the pool is emptied, the pool would want to float in the underground water. I have actually seen the deep end of a 40ft gunite pool (with no hydrostatic valve) rise out of the ground (by 18") when the pool was emptied for repairs. A hydrosatic valve would have opened (and allowed the underground water to flow into the pool) when the water pressure beneath the pool became greater than the water pressure in the pool. I am not sure if you can manually test the valve, so check with the supplier/pool builder. A hydrostatic relief valve is located in the deepest part of your pool. It may be under the maindrain cover or in its own little box on the bottom of the pool. The purpose of the hydrostatic relief valve is to relieve a build up of pressure if it occurs from underneath the pool. If the water were to be removed with a high water table then the pool may float up out of the graound like a barge. You then have a big problem on your hands. The fhydrostatic relief valve will open allowing the ground water to enter the pool to keep the equalibrium and to relieve built up pressure from underneath the pool. The valve typically does not need any maintenance. However, if the vavle has opened then there is a chance that a tiny particle could get stuck in the seal when the valve closes again. The tiniest particle (which may not even be seen) could allow water to seep out of the pool into the ground. There's a lot of water in the pool and each gallon of water weighs 8.33 pound. A typical residential pool of 20,000 gallons holds water weighing about 166,600 pounds. A commercial pool of approximately 120,000 gallons has water weighing approx. 1 million pounds. Removal of this much weight obviously changes a lot of things. You need to be very careful removing water from a pool. Things to be concerned about are high water table, underground springs, rainy weather, hills behind the pool. Please write if there are any other questions.

FURTHER ANSWER When you find your pool losing water and don't see any obvious place, it may be the hydrostatic valve has lifted and then not seated properly. The valve needs to be flushed by being lifted momentarily. I have done this by donning a mask and with fins and weights swum down, removed the grate, and lifted the valve by hand. If you have never seen such a valve find one in a swimming pool store and see how it works. Also, be sure there is not a lot of trash in the fixture near the valve or again it may not seat. Best to do this with the pump off if the valve is in the drain box or you may get caught by the suction. This can lead to serious death! Paul Delage
