Hi - I realise that most people on this site will see me as an antichrist removing our outdoor pool, but there are various reasons for wanting to do this.
We have a builder who will basically be infilling the pool but it's down to me to ensure that any services (power/water) have been dealt with in advance.
1. I need to ensure that the electricity to the pool is killed before he starts work. Under a flap next to the pool is a small electrical junction box - I think it powers a light in the pool. Would there normally be any other electrical equipment in the pool that I need to be aware of? I have already dealt with the pump and filter which are in the boiler room - other than a light, would there be any other electrics in the pool?
2. Would there normally be a direct water feed into the pool? When he starts digging the pool up, I want to make sure we don't end up severing a water feed. I know nothing about pools - would there normally be a water feed, or would it have been topped up by a garden hose?
Really appreciate any advice you can provide.
