Thanks for your advice wheeliworks So you don't think i should purse a warranty claim with the pool company to get it fixed.It sounds like it will be difficult considering i need written proof of a pool test every month from an electronic pool testing shop.:(

The thing to bear in mind with large builders is that due to the volume of work you don't have the same people on site at each build. They use different site supervisors, and tender out work to different trades. So despite the overall management laying with the main office, one person's build can b...
