Hi I have purchased a used sliding pool enclosure. 4 sections - each are 2.5m wide The largest section is 5.7m in length. The other 3 sections slide/fit underneath. Aluminium framing with clear polycarbonate sheets. I need to move the cover some 100 miles away, a hourney of alprox 2 hours via...

I am considering reducing the level on the deep end to approx 5ft. Tiled pool. Can i simply poor concrete over the tiles and up to the level I require? or, should i remove the tiles first? I will add in mesh rebar to prevent cracking.

Many thanks for the quick response. Unit is 4 years old and is £500 (been told it was £3500 new) How can I work out how long it will take to increase temp by 1 degree on a summers day (Uk summer day average temp is 20 degrees!)

I am getting offered a heat pump and would like to know if it would be suitable for my pool. Energy prices in the UK have gone crazy and are expected to go up again considerably next year aswell. I only use my pool in the summer months, My pool dimensions are listed in my sig. The current...

Has any one setup an inverter on their single phase pool pump? Due to the the massive rise in energy charges on the UK I need to invest in some cost savin measures. My current pump: STA-RITE 5P1R 50Hz 230V 0.55kW 0.75HP 4.2A Have been looking at either the: Certkin Clever Pool Or Certkin iSaver

Can some one please help with me working out if this heat pump would be efficient enough for me to switch from gas > electric for heating my pool. Based in UK and on current prices: Electricity unit rate: 27.86p per kWh Gas unit rate: 7.367p per kWh Energy consumption: 4700 Watts (W) Time...

Looking to run a pool pump off solar panels however not too clued up on what is actually required! STA-RITE 5P1R 50Hz 230V 0.55kW 0.75HP 4.2A What equipment would I require if I wanted to run this off solar panels? How many panels would i require etc and of what ratings. BTW - I am based in...

Thanks for the reply. I only plan on using the pool during the very hot months (which in the UK is not many!) My unit rates Electricity unit rate: 20.60p per kWh Gas unit rate: 4.047p per kWh

I am in the the middle on some construction work on the house and i am planning on moving my pool pipes/equipment. Sump Vacuum Skimmer I will basically have to dig down, cut pipes and direct to the new direction. Question: Currently i am using gas to heat the pool via a heat exchanger. Gas...

Losing prime all of a sudden.... I have: Tried ports (Skimmer, Sump and Vacuum) one by one. It eventually does get started after a few mins... however when i switch it off all the water comes rushing back and empties out the pump basket. When primed my gauge is hardly showing any reading (about...

Tile size small squares - 20mmx20mm. Some areas there are single ones that have come off. In other areas there are probably about 10 in a line that have come off. In total probably about 50 which require replacing.

Could please get some suggestions to what product to use when replacing pool tiles.

Just a thought... would it be OK to run the cleaner without the filter and tray inserted? Just to see if it will climb the wall? Pool is completely clean so there are no debris that could get stuck in the impeller.

It is a filet bag/net …. was more or less empty when I put it in however I disconnected the tray and gave it all a good wash. Will try it again in the next few days and see how it goes.

Hi all It is a used unit. Yes it is supposed to climb. It attempts to climb and I can see the rollers spinning before it gives up and carries on doing the floor. Does a good job on the floor mind I add! It has been out of use for a while so the rollers would have dried up. Filters bag was...

Hi all I recently sourced a used Star Vac 2 robot pool cleaner. Tried it out yesterday and it works as expected however fails the climb the pool walls. It attempts to climb (rollers spinning) but fails and then continues on the pool floor. Cannot seem to find any online manuals for this...

Cheers both. Just seen your posts! I like the idea of the cover being a sort of solar panel to help heat the pool! Since posting I have been thinking about creating a electric sliding deck over the pool however obviously it wont give me a advantage of using the pool on rainy/winter days! At...

Being in the UK I am thinking of getting one as it will extend my swimming season. Any one have any feedback if they are any good?

2-3 ppm a day for me. If I have the solar cover on and pool is not in use then I only drop about 1-2 ppm a week! I am in the UK though so don't get as good sunny weather as you guys over from state side.

Will be repairing some popped off pool tiles in the next few weeks however I am struggling to source replacement tiles - here in the UK. Size: 20x20mm 3mm thick I believe it is the "Mediterranean" Roman Key Tile band It appears that 25mm is readily available but the 20mm no longer being used...

It took about 24 hours and corrected itself. I have goggles now so will use those in the future. Many thanks to all.
