  1. I read awhile back that if they tried this then they would get a class action going to sue the Gov for losses.
  2. Zeolite is a cage like structure and fills up with iron & algae. So it needs recharging (Cleaning) at some stage. Average every 5 years. If you have lots of metals in the supply water then earlier. (Iron & magnesium is high all over Sth East Asia) "Eco Clear" is cleaned everytime you do a backwash. Even the biofilm is dispensed. Zeolite
  3. The clear/white recycled plate glass is the go "Eco Clear" Been using it for well over 10 years. It is without doubt the best on the market. Providing you pump & filter are the correct configuration then at night it looks like there is no water in the pool.
  4. 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.
  5. Save yourself a lot of futer hassles. Consider PebbleCrete. Hardest surface on the market and gets better with age. Low maintence.
  6. 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)
  7. Just pop into any large hardware store & read the instructions/labels. Most are 2 part. Plenty will do the job.
  8. 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.
  9. Kwak250 see my reply in your other thread.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. We just finished renovating this pool and finish is Cool Blue PebbleCrete. 10 x 4 x 1.5 constant, skimmer system.
  13. Depending a few factors, work on getting change out of 20 k per sq/m.
  14. Sadly I thought you would have some issue.
  15. PM sent
  16. 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
  17. 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?
  18. We where buying direct of Taylor. Obviously they did by the book.
  19. When I was water quality consultant at Ramayana Water Park, I advised purchasing to order a Taylor kit from US. At that time it had to come by ship as they where classed as "Hazardous". 3 months to arrive.
  20. They are a franchised setup. Be carefull. PM sent.
  21. Best around and not stupidly priced! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100048541220615
  22. Salt chlorination is the best option. You have to ask for the pool not to be salt in Australia. Takes the guess work out of proper sanitation. The electrolosis splits clorine gas of the salt and it runs through the water to create liquid chlorine (Sodium hypochlorite) The (<removed>) salt levels need to be kept at 4,000 ppm (Sea water is around 55,000 ppm) Plus the salt softens the water giving a better bather experience. I would stay away from both companies mentioned and definately liner pools. Have a look at https://www.facebook.com/pebblecretethailand (Go to videos)
