At last the pool is full and the pump has been connected. The liner was awkward to get straight and it was not possible to get all the wrinkles out but the result is ok.The top cap has been fitted but it is very flimsy and you could not climb out of the pool over it. I am going to strengthen it when the side cladding goes up and then you will be able to get out at any point.
I have fitted 3 solar panels on the roof and connected them to the pump circuit.
This has raised the pool temp to 20c deg in just a few days.The pool has a chlorine
dispenser with slow release tablets loaded into it so it is good to go. just need
to find a person to try it out!(too cold for me!)
The path took a battering when the excavations were taking place,even with them being covered with ply sheets,so they have all been re-laid.A new path has been created through the arch to connect to the new outbuildings and ultimately to the pool and garden.
The next phase is to form the rest of the hard landscaping and then level garden with an excavator. then the pool deck can be installed.In the mean time I will construct a temporary deck to enable use of the pool.
