Swimming Minimalism in House

Swimming minimalist in the house is now an option to "green" home. In addition to beautiful, her treatment was not too difficult.

There are many elements of the landscape supporting residential buildings, among them the garden and pool. Especially for the pool, there are several types of pools to choose from, from a pool or pond with minimal relief. The location of the pool itself should not be in front, but could in addition or in the back of the house.

For example the couple Ir. H. Eko Acts Suprojo and Hj. Nuraini, SPd. BSD Tangerang region. Both chose to make a minimalist pool in the back of his house. Minimalist size 6x3 meter pool was originally created to take advantage of existing open land at the rear of the house. However, now the existence of a pool that is located adjacent to the kitchen and this musollah been the center of attention and an area for relaxing family members.

To create a minimalist pool in the area of ​​the house, the first thing to note is the land area. Instead, the land for the pool is not too broad, in order to display satisfactory end. So, spacious pool area should be proportional in comparison to home. In addition to the size of the pool, view or location factors deserves attention.

"It's good location in area ponds are easily accessible, and ponds can become the center of view of inter-area home," said Kiki Rizki.

Swimming at the residence located at the rear of Eko's house, right at the end of the dining room, and lined with glass doors and windows. On the right side of the pool there is musollah, while on the left is the kitchen to dry. Residents must pass through this pool to get to the kitchen or musollah (places of worship).

Pool adorned by a black marble pool as a liaison with the dining room or family room. As for leading musollah, residents must pass through a row of sandstone, arranged it in the pool, so impressed as a bridge. The background was a beautiful pond with a patterned yellow sandstone carvings. While the top of the pool was left open with no cover or roof. "So, when it rains, rain water directly down to the pond," Kiki said.

Replace Filter
There are many factors to consider when creating a minimalist fish pond. One important factor is the circulation of water. "If the water circulation is not good, then the water may be dirty or smelly," said Kiki. Of course, the main requirements that also must be met to make the pond water quality is good and clear.

One way of regulating the circulation of pool water is to use filters. The water is channeled into the sewage ponds, then filtered. Once filtered, the water is then returned to the pool. In this way, the circulation of the water will stay awake, so stay clear. Water quality is very important, especially if the pond filled with fish, such as koi fish are known to be very sensitive. If water quality is not good, then the fish can get sick or even die.

Other materials used in making the pool is a natural stone wall and andesite as the bottom of the pool. Special to the bottom of the pond, prior to installation of andesite, a kind of foundation is made of brick. "This is to avoid the bottom of the pool collapsed," said Kiki, who accompanied Juhaeri of tamanku.com marketing team.

In addition to natural stone, sandstone are also often used as a sweetener in the pool, though not as the main material. Likewise marble. Excess andesite stone than marble is much thicker, but more slippery marble. What about maintenance? "Actually, the treatment is relatively not difficult, really. The important thing is diligent, industrious replace the water filter, "said Kiki.

2. Replace water filter at least 2 weeks to avoid a cloudy or smelly pond.
3. If the pond contains fish, should not be too much to feed the fish. Feeding the fish too much will make the pond dirty.
