Hi, I would think all heat pump systems to be very similar. Just check out their specs to see what efficiency they have. IE is it 5x efficient or more. Also cross reference that with reviews vs price. Here are my findings on different swimming pool heating systems. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewt...

Here is my Review, of different types of Swimming Pool Heaters which I should have linked instead. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=87715 Cheers, Andrew

Hi, You Wrote "I have a large roof that that I can cover with solar panels. Am I missing something basic here?" Are you CRAZY? The old style kettles had a lock in mechanism to avoid electric shock/electrocution! AKA Death. And you want to swim in it? Maybe the mother-in-law I can understan...

Hi, I have installed a new pool and this is the findings of my research (As I am still to get pool heating for my pool) There are 3 main types of heating: Solar Heating PRO : This is not solar panels that make electricity. This is more like your garden hose that is left out in the sun on a hot day....

Hi, It cost me $5,000 for a 22 linear meter glass pool fence with short spiggots that held the glass (maybe 150mm high) with 2 x glass gates that I did a DIY (quotes for the fence + gates were $9,000) Here is my Post of my pool build. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=73509

Bump - Anyone have any ideas for me?

Hi, Yes, The Swimming pool was only 1meter from the house foundation and I had to ensure that the house foundation had piering (2 lots of 2 meters wide by 1 meter below the bottom of the pool) What this meant was the pools shallow end was 1.1meters deep, Therefore, the house piering was to be a mini...

Thank you for your kind words. I sub-contracted the pool build and did the paving and glass pool fence myself. I don't think I am any cleverer than you. I just started at the beginning and asked each trade along the way if they could recommend someone for the following stages. These trades all work ...

Thanks for the reply. I have a couple of other photos of the build. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c184/andrew20092/IMG_3428_zpspynq9qdy.jpg

I have one sheet of tongue and groove flooring (2-3mm drop due to last winter weather) that is uneven and was wondering if there was a acrylic (as any cement leveling product might crack) floor leveling compound on the market. Thanks Andrew

Now for the tiling to begin. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c184/andrew20092/IMG_3426_zpsif13ujjh.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c184/andrew20092/IMG_3427_zpsawvam4z0.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c184/andrew20092/IMG_3428_zpspynq9qdy.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c184/andr...

We have also chosen our pool tile. The tiles are from a company called "Tiles on Bradman" here is South Australia. They are renown for supply quality tiles to the pool industry. The tile colour we selected is called "Harbour Blue" http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c184/andrew2009...

We have chosen Travetine for the pool coping and pool paving area. It is 30mm thick in what is called a "French Lay" pattern. This means that the pavers come in 4 sizes. 200x200mm 200x400mm 400x400mm 400x600mm http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c184/andrew20092/IMG_3355_zpsxz4dqypx.jpg

Hello MrBee, I am very impressed with your Concrete pool build. I know that with my build with the home extension things got in the way and time slipped away. We missed a complete swimming season. Hope you get your pool done for this year as I found out last year in SA when I went looking for a pool...

Ordered 2.4Cubic meters of Concrete from a local premix concrete company.
