Bends - precision and flexibility for pool and swimming pond systems
Bends are indispensable components in pool and swimming pond pipework systems. They enable flexible pipe routing and ensure optimum circulation of water and chemical additives within the system. Regardless of whether you operate a private pool, a swimming pond or an industrial system - bends provide the necessary adaptability and stability. In the "Arches" category, you will find a large selection of high-quality products that are perfectly tailored to your requirements.
What are bends and why are they so important?
Bends are pipework components that enable a change of direction in a system. They are typically used to efficiently channel water flows through complex pool and swimming pond systems. Thanks to their special shape and robust materials, they help to minimise pressure loss in pipes and ensure the long-term functionality of the system.
Areas of application for elbows
- Pool systems: For precise routing of water between pump, filter, heater and skimmer.
- Swimming ponds: For the flexible connection of pipework that preserves the delicate ecosystem.
- Irrigation systems: For diverting water flows in gardens and agricultural applications.
- Industrial applications: For liquid and gas pipes in technical installations.
Advantages of bends
- Flexibility: Bends allow a change of direction in pipework systems without the use of additional parts.
- Efficient water flow: The optimised shape minimises pressure loss and improves circulation.
- Wide range of applications: Elbows are available in different materials, sizes and angles to meet the requirements of different systems.
- Simple installation: They can be easily integrated into existing pipework systems.
- Durability: High-quality materials ensure a long service life, even under demanding conditions.
Types of elbows
The range of bends includes various types, each tailored to specific requirements and areas of application:
1. 90° bends
These bends allow a right-angled change of direction and are ideal for narrow pipe systems or complex installations.
2. 45° bends
With a smaller angle, 45° bends ensure a gentle diversion of the water flow and are particularly suitable for sensitive systems.
3. long radius bends
Long radius bends minimise pressure loss and are ideal for applications where even water circulation is required.
4. adhesive bends
These bends are installed with PVC adhesive and provide a strong, permanent connection.
5. screw bends
Screw bends are easy to install and are perfect for systems that require regular maintenance or modification.
6. bends made of PVC
Made from robust and lightweight PVC, these models are corrosion resistant and ideal for pools with chlorinated or salty water.
7. stainless steel arches
Stainless steel bends offer maximum resistance and are particularly suitable for industrial applications with high loads.
Tips for choosing the right bends
The choice of the right bend depends on various factors:
- Material: PVC bends are suitable for pools with chlorinated or salty water, while stainless steel bends are suitable for extreme conditions.
- Angle: Decide between 45° and 90° bends depending on the system design.
- Pipe diameter: Make sure that the elbows exactly cover the diameter of your pipes.
- System requirements: Long radius elbows are ideal for systems with high water circulation.
- Maintenance requirements: Choose screw bends if the pipes require frequent maintenance.
Installation and maintenance of elbows
Installation
The installation of elbows is simple and can also be carried out by hobby craftsmen:
- Pipe preparation: cut the pipe to the desired length and deburr the ends.
- Assembly: Insert the elbow into the pipe and secure it with adhesive or screw connections.
- Leak test: Check the connection for leaks before the system is put into operation.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of the elbows ensures a long service life and optimum performance:
- Cleaning: Remove debris and dirt from the elbows.
- Check for damage: Check the elbows regularly for cracks or leaks.
- Replacement in case of wear: Replace damaged bends in good time to avoid major problems.
Innovations in bends
Thanks to new technologies and materials, bows are becoming increasingly efficient and versatile:
- High-performance PVC: Improved materials offer even greater resistance to chemicals and mechanical stress.
- Flexible bends: Enable adaptation to complex pipe systems and promote optimal water flow.
- Sustainable solutions: Environmentally friendly materials reduce the ecological footprint and promote sustainable construction methods.
Why bends are a sensible investment
Bends are indispensable components for a well-functioning pool or swimming pond system. They ensure efficient water flow and make care and maintenance considerably easier. Whether for a private pool or a complex commercial system, high-quality arches are a smart investment.
Summary of benefits:
- Precise water routing: Allows water to be channelled efficiently through the system.
- Robustness: Withstands chemical and mechanical stresses.
- Ease of use: Flexible and easy to install.
- Cost-effectiveness: High performance at an affordable price.
