Hi all, I am finally back on track with this project after it was shelved. Hopefully the experienced hands might be able to point me in the right direction with a few spa/spool/plunge type queries I have. Any help is most appreciated. To recap: I'm building a few therapeutic 'wellness pools'...

I have some outstanding items on my equipment list, specifically LED pool/spa lights. My requirement is for two small IG concrete pools - one spa (hot tub type) and one cold immersion (plunge type). I need to know if these LEDs would be OK for use with local power here - 230V 50Hz? For the...

Hi and welcome to TFP! I'm based in the UK, however right now i'm spending a lot of time working on a project of ours in Asia. You've joined an amazing place with a wealth of knowledge, the experts have experience in pretty much every aspect of pool build and care. Make the most of it.

Chris, I cannot find any high quality kits in these parts at all, certainly not the recommended TF100 or Taylor 2006 kits. I only managed to get one sent to me in London thanks to the great customer service from the guys at TFTestkits. Many thanks to them once again. So yes, I'll definitely...

Thanks for your reply Chris. Yes, there is indeed a lot of rain in London where I am normally based! However I forgot to mention in this thread that these pools are being constructed in Asia (Colombo, Sri Lanka specifically - I will add more details to my sig). During the monsoon periods there...

Many thanks for your response Marty. Yes you're correct, the pools being constructed are basically an in-ground concrete spa (with gunite jets, SWG, etc), and an in-ground concrete cold plunge. I will add more details to my sig. Here are the volume details: Hydrotherapy/Vitality Pool: 2687L...

Apologies if this is in the incorrect subtopic. I've been going through the Pool School and ABC's and read that in many cases replacing water is used to lower CH, CYA etc. I was planning to use an 'auto water leveller' to maintain the water level in two of my pools (vitality pool/hot tub/spa...

Hi BayonPools, Great to see you here! I am also currently in the Asian region working on a project, actually in Colombo to be more specific. We are building a small hydrothermal facility here. There have been a few delays with local site approvals etc, but now we are back on track and things...

Hi guys, Need some opinions/guidance on the appropriate SWG for an in-ground concrete/tiled spa (appx 1000 gallons). I’ve read the forums and spoken to several manufacturers. So far the Controlomatic SmarterSpa seems like the best unit overall...

Hi Guys, I have checked with several sanitiser unit suppliers and received various suggestions and guidance. It appears that Jimmy's approach utilising the UV for sanitising is generally accepted as being pretty effective considering the small volume of water. So far I have this one that I'm...

Many thanks Jimmy and Jason for your input. Anyway, I can see now that the main issue is one of sanitation. Perhaps I can check around to see what some of these pre-built unit manufacturers are doing, then report back to you guys for some feedback. So far I know: Daily emptying is not an...

Hi all, I'm planning to construct a therapeutic Kneipp Pool. It's basically a shallow treading pool that we’re looking to build for a small boutique hotel/spa project in Colombo, Sri Lanka. These are quite popular in Europe, but it will be a first for this country. I would also appreciate your...
