Where should space for the pool equipment be planned if the outdoor pool is to be installed only after the house is completed or possible later?

In the basement with conduit pipes to the pool area? In a separate pool house? In a shaft near the pool?

What is the required space for such equipment?

Why choose which pool technology inside the house?
Technical shaft at the pool...

Thank you!

So, one shaft is enough for all the technical installations?

Try searching for pool equipment box... You’re not planning to install a swimming pool in your garden, are you?

The space requirements depend on the size and features of the pool.
- Pool pump
- Filter and flocculation
- Backwash system
- Pool heating – heat exchanger?
- Skimmer with connection for a clean surface, or alternatively, a pool gutter with connection?
- Automated disinfection system?
- Space for a pool cleaning robot?
- Counter-current system?
- Cascade shower?
- Massage jet?
- Air bubble system?
- Lighting control?
- Cover control?

Hampshire has already summarized quite a bit well.
What is still missing is the expansion tank, which is usually larger than the filter.
Having the pool equipment inside the house makes sense if the distance to the pool is short and there is enough space available.
Another important aspect for a pool is the heating. The preferred solution is usually connecting it to the house heating system. If there is ample space, solar collectors can be added as well. However, this should be planned for in the house heating system from the beginning.
The pumps require a significant amount of power (often 400V pumps). The main electrical supply must be able to handle this, and the wiring in the technical room must be properly set up.
Another important point is backwashing. Whether automatic or manual, large volumes are pushed into the sewer system in a short time. The sewer must be properly sized and pressure-resistant.
A single conduit is not enough. Often you need four or more conduits of 200mm (8 inches) diameter.
Wherever you ultimately decide to place your equipment, you should plan for electrical power, water, wastewater, and possibly LAN connections right from the start.
