:( never mind and thank you for confirming....I will keep researching.

Ah, didn't realise the "Fi" doesn't exist in the US. I have been given an option of a BWT Pearl HPT20 Heat Exchanger, which is 30% cheaper, but know absolutely nothing about BWT as a make....apart from their sponsorship of F1 Cars...Anyone have experience of these (probably another one that is...

I am looking to install a heat pump for my exterior salt pool (90m3) and was looking at the Hayward Sumheat Fi, which are the latest models. Does anyone have any experience of these? I am particularly interested in knowing about noise, speed of heating water and electrical consumption. They are...

yes, although I didn't actually post my worries on how hot synthetic materials get, it did cross my mind. Most of the synthetic materials have this problem - weirdly this year, I put the wrong product on the current decking in an attempt to give it a new lease of life and it has been a disaster...

Trex could definitely work, but a wood would be my preferred!

Cost, scarcity, questionable sustainable provenance.... Got to start somewhere being ecological!

We have a salt water in-ground pool. most of our pool is surrounded by paving, but we have a retractable electric submerged cover at one end that is covered by a wooden deck - approx 1Mx 6M (3ft x 20ft) - in panels to allow access. the wood decking needs replacing so wondered what wood would...

In way of closure to this thread, went with the Polaris pump. Looks identical to others, so no doubt am paying for the name, but just don't have the luxury as need to get the property ready for rental. New pump is whisper quiet compared to the old one, which is a bonus and also seems to be...

no, I haven't. Wondering how easy it will be to find one of those. It did cross my mind that this might be an issue. The other problem that I fixed was a neutral that seemed to be frayed and perhaps shorting out on the body of the pump - but sadly this didn't cure it. The only thing that I know...

Hi Team, have finally managed to get to my pool - long story - but the incumbent pump for the Polaris has died. I quick check initially showed that fused had tripped, but further work has confirmed that pump is dead. Power is reaching it, but nothing going on. It's a DAB Jectcom SP 102 M...

Thanks for that - yes, I somewhat suspected the fibreglassing route was very expensive and to your point on the construction of the walls and base, I believe them all to be of either concrete brick or concrete - not sure that there is any sand involved, as images from yesteryear construction...
