  1. Stay away from sandwash in the pool. It turns to 💩 in no tie and has the small pebbles get sucked up by the pump it is also damaged.
  2. Save yourself a lot of futer hassles. Consider PebbleCrete. Hardest surface on the market and gets better with age. Low maintence.
  3. Exactly and don't do it on a monthly basis (way to much). 6 months at minimum, yearly better, otherwise you will be needed a new cell in no time. If the machine is not powering down with no waterflow you can get flow switches. (Worst machine on the market)
  4. Just pop into any large hardware store & read the instructions/labels. Most are 2 part. Plenty will do the job.
  5. Exactly right, manufacturing is the issue with fibreglass shells. As explained in the other thread on this subject, I will only deal with 2 Aussie own manufacturers that both have over 40 years experience. Just about all the rest are cowboys.
  6. Kwak250 see my reply in your other thread.
  7. There are pro's & con with both. At some stage you will have to do some maintenance. If you look after the pool properly at around 10 years (Maybe less) you will be up for some major work. However we have renovated concrete pools 5 years old. One pool we re-grouted after 1 year. Fibreglass shell may need a new gelcoating at around 10 years depending on the fading. If it is quality built. I am a reseller for 2 Australian owned fibreglass shell manufacturers, both with 40+ years exp. These in my opinion are the only ones to deal with. The rest are cowboys. Thai's & unexperienced westerners are flopping pools on the side of the road these days and skimping on quality chemicals & gelcoat. You will save some cash on a fibreglass shell and they are much quicker to have installed. Send me a message if ou would like to talk more about options.
  8. That comes down to personnal choice. Overflow to some look better. You can now get top up vavles for skimmer systems. This was the main advantage of overflow systems. They had the float valve in the balance tank that topped up the pool water.
  9. We just finished renovating this pool and finish is Cool Blue PebbleCrete. 10 x 4 x 1.5 constant, skimmer system.
  10. Depending a few factors, work on getting change out of 20 k per sq/m.
  11. Sadly I thought you would have some issue.
  12. PM sent
  13. They are resellers for a company I also deal with. The breakdown is over the top and not quite correct! Speaks of little experience with swimming pools. Their price should read "starts at" The picture in the advert is certainly not 199,900
  14. Not mixed properly. Maybe wrong mix as well. Why anyone would use sandwash these days is beyong me. It turns to 💩in no time. Did you take the cheapest quote?
