    Locating a Leak

    I’ve put my 12ft best way metal framed pool up today and it appears we have a leak ? What is the best way to locate the hole ? It’s taken about 5 hours for the water to appear and is obviously flowing from the lowest part of the floor.

    Solar heating & Pump Advice please

    Thanks Isaac. Another thought, for the cost of the pump & solar panels, should I just invest in one of the cheaper heat pumps?

    Solar heating & Pump Advice please

    Thanks for your input. This is driving me a little crazy. I feel like I won't know, til I've bought the stuff & set it up, to see if it will work & if not I'll have to empty the pool & resite things. Which isn't the end of the world, I guess, but it seemed like it, when I couldn't sleep last...

    Intex Easy Set or Frame?

    Frame. I had an easy set, upgraded to a bigger easy set the following year & within a month had bought the same size metal frame pool. I asked on here first & it was unanimous :D They are more stable. You get a larger water area. You can touch the sides of the pool without fear of all the...

    Thanks MAS985 & Isaac-1 would I be better sticking with the bestway cartridge pump & adding this ? http://www.splashandrelax.co.uk/products/Swimming+Pools/Pool+Heating/Booster+Pump+0.5HP/1152613329 I'll have a good read of that article too . .. . not sure what my non EPDM options are :confused:

    Hi everyone, I've been purposefully missing for a couple of months, I'll explain when I do a catch up thread - putting the new pool up ;) We've bought a Bestway 12' 48' metal frame for now :D I want to put some solar heating on the roof of our one storey, flat roofed, kitchen extension, it's...

    Ground Cloths for Concrete

    I've had an intex easy set & metal frame pools up, over the last 2 summers on a concrete base. I used EVA camping mats with no bother. Solid ones underneaths & 'holey' ones around the outside.

    How much space needed to erect a metal walled AGP?

    I'm laughing at least three foot clear, if I'd had to have three foot clear, I wouldn't of been able to fit my 8ft Easy Set in :-D It's a small garden. About 14ft wide. I appreciate the points about maintenance though, I hadn't properly considered that. I don't think I'd need any more than a...

    How much space needed to erect a metal walled AGP?

    Possibly a silly question - I have a lot of these - how much space do you need to erect a metal walled AGP? I'm hoping to fit one into our small garden, it's suddenly struck me that because we need the pool to be close to the fence, like really close, that we wouldn't have enough space to...

    Debris / Fabrico Cover for a Doughboy Pool

    That's interesting Mollyj I only used to uncover the pool from it's debris cover on warm days, there was heat radiating from underneath. A tarp with fixing points on the ground could be a possible plan . . . . sometimes there are weeks of rain & I'd rather the pool had a better cover than the...

    Debris / Fabrico Cover for a Doughboy Pool

    Thanks Laceygirl and Casey. I honestly hadn't thought about not covering the pool at night . .. . that's what we've done for the last two summers . . . . but I guess it makes sense. I told OH earlier & he was aghast at the idea. He said, "you'll spend more time scooping stuff out, that you will...

    Debris / Fabrico Cover for a Doughboy Pool

    I'm in the research stage of my decision making process for which pool to get this summer. After buying one last year & then changing our mind within a week or so, I want to make sure I get it right this time . .. .. so apologies in advance for a lot of questions ;) With my Intex pools I...

    Standard Equipment that comes with a UK 12ft Doughboy Steel Pool.

    This is what I mean size wise. Garden ends on the thin cell, i.e. 4 1/2 metres wides. 12ft pool 9 x 18 ft pool, with base & top water dimensions. Blue is pool. Grey circle is trampoline and green shape the shed. Very happy to be corrected on anything ;)

    Standard Equipment that comes with a UK 12ft Doughboy Steel Pool.

    I love my Intex too Laceygirl, but you can't get a deep 12ft pool here. There was one on the intex website last year, but I can't find it this year & definitely not seen any for sale in the UK - happy to be proved wrong - therefore we'd only be able to have the 30" metal frame intex. I want some...

    Standard Equipment that comes with a UK 12ft Doughboy Steel Pool.

    I'm thinking of buying a 12ft steel frame pool. Just gathering information at the moment, to try and put a budget together. I've been looking at the Doughboy Regent Round Steel 12ft Pool. On the site I'm looking at, the standard kit includes, 'Deluxe Sand Filtration Unit with sand and Power...

    Infant rescue swim classes?

    I'm in the UK & my daughter did 'Water Babies' from 5 months for almost two years - no lessons during school holiday times. They didn't teach the turn over & flip method, but resurface and find their way to the side & hold on. We stopped having lessons for 2 reason, firstly husband lost his...
