Structural, waterproofing and filtration considerations for building a small residential pool in the Kathmandu Valley climate.
Structural design for sloped sites
Most Kathmandu Valley plots are sloped, requiring retaining structures integrated with the pool shell design.
Waterproofing the pool shell
Use a dedicated waterproofing membrane system rated for permanent water immersion, not standard terrace waterproofing products.
Filtration and water treatment
Size the filtration pump to turn over the full pool volume every 6-8 hours for adequate water quality.
Seasonal maintenance
Plan for off-season draining or covering given Nepal's cold winters, especially at higher elevations.
