Works totally fine and a bit cheaper too, I believe (plus it helps that they've got a friend who has an excavator to cut costs even more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate em. Pain in the arse. I've gotta get a new chlorinator before I fill it back up. Replaced the pump last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mums is paved all the round and a 3.5m x 8m pool plus we got council approval to have no fencing around the pool, just auto close systems on all exit doors out to the pool. Door handles raised as well. Myself I love the old 80's - 90's concrete pools. Or a big fibre glass one. Once theyre sunken its astetically fine... its just the appearance of it above ground is gross.. Puff highly doubt it... I see little point in above grounds as theyre too shallow as well... Id way prefer a nice cold spa in the summer with my ice bucket full of wine than an above grounder... the only way id have a pool is like boxstock said... a nice concrete one or a fibreglass one. Edit: also summer doesnt reqlly effect me much... I actually enjoy the warm...I would more likely use a nice heated in ground in winter as much as summer..... plus I married a pom so my house is 17 all year round regardless hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Trust me bro... Gold Donating Members 16,057 Member For: 9y 11m 19d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 24/09/16 02:01 AM Share Posted 24/09/16 02:01 AM Each to their own I guess. Some pool is better than no pool I reckon. A spa is definitely a cost effective yet still aesthetically pleasing option which is also useable in winter too.

Im still stoking my combustion heater in the middle of September and cranking the split system to stay warm. Mother nature is toying with us.....or punishing us for global warming... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they changed the rhetoric to "climate change" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
