WAlien - how is your pool going now? Hopefully no more issues!! I apologise for the delayed reply. I have been away a lot. I had to do a minor reset to 2 pavers by adding a little more sand near the steps, and think its now 100% I do wish I has added a separate vacuum port when I had the pool built...

See my thread: My experience as a first time pool purchaser. (WA) https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=72853 Used a cartridge filter, and 3 speed pump. No issue with either. Barracuda cleaner also been good. Wish I had added and extra line for dedicated vacuum. .

Re: Do I have to empty pool for landscaping around it?Pools & Spas

This question is a few months old now, so you may have already finished the job, but I would have suggested that you contact your local shire for advise, although most likely, you would have to drain the pool. However, if you were able to cover it, that may suffice.

Another update. Since Sapphire refused to recrify the sinking pavers, we had them fixed by our landscaper. As expected, it was normal subsidence from behind the steps, which I fully believe was the responsibility of Sapphire's contractors, but, whatever. Currently, we are renovating the bathroom. Th...

As I have said in my thread, I dislike the company Sapphire pools, but not their pool. I have also update my thread today, regarding unsafe electrical work conducted by their contactors. https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=72853

So here we are, 2 weeks later, and Sapphire pools have completely ignored my emails to the site supervisor, Brett Osborne, and also to the service department of Aquatic Leisure Technologies, parent company for Sapphire. So here's the issue: They levelled the pool based on existing paving that is lai...

So, here we are, some months since completion, and I have to say that I am in the pool probably 6 days out of every 7. I really do enjoy just zoning out in it. A few weeks ago, as the wife was exiting the pool, as she stepped on to one of the border paver between the Bullnose and the main pavers, th...

having owned a large high maintenance and costly in-ground pool previously, the old saying springs to mind. 'there are 2 great times when owning a pool... the first day when you swim in it and the final day when you fill it in' I'm sure however you'll have many years of enjoyment inbetween :) I lik...

I like that. Made me smile.

Do you know what type (brand) of hinge you have? Mine uses an allen key to adjust, 1 click each at a time.

This write up is intended to provide interested persons, my experience with buying my first pool. We (the wife and I) looked at pools from early Jan 2014 and looked at all levels, from new to reconditioned. We were not interested in above ground, and we had sold our spa which we had enjoyed for near...
