pool Adding a lap pool

[petetherock 8]

Dear friends 

My new place has a 12m long driveway and I am considering building a 10 by 2 m lap pool, about 1.2m deep. May I know how much it costs to build one, and the monthly maintenance costs?

 Thanks

He came once, took a look, made an offer then disappeared
So I approached his old partner who owns Phyto and they are doing an assessment.. do you know this company?

Currently, the boss suggested using
Astral 0.5Hp pump and lights, concrete pool with rebar etc.. 

He says I can DIY most of the maintenance myself.. let's see

Good deal, possible to share your pool maintenance team?  Thank you.

The rains slowed things down a bit, but they will lay the concrete this week, then the tiles after that.

Very excited that I can finally see the pool taking shape..

I will report back and share if this pool guy is solid once the deed is done. They are laying pipes for electricals too and very soon I can see the form shaping up.

My pool project is almost there.. 

Tiles in place, and they are installing the pumps right now.. 

Building a pool is just like any other reno job:

- get everything in B&W:
- type of equipment to be used

- warranty of pool + gear

- completion date

- if you want anything included, get it in B&W!

Distilled my experience into this

and I’ve been maintaining the pool myself, it’s ok and gives some exercise too..

Some pool costs:

- chlorine either in tablet form or powder - I prefer powder

- cleaning and flushing the pool - you can hire someone for around 70-80 a week

- topping up the water

Most of these, you can manage yourself actually... it can be done.

Hi Petetherock,

 

thank you for sharing! 
 

I’m thinking of maintaining the pool myself or at least learn the ins and outs of maintain a pool. 
 

do you mind sharing the step by step and where you buy the materials.

 

thank you!

What kind of pool do you have? 
Who built your pool and what kind of components do you use?

There are videos online, but this forum allows spambots and ads but we can't post links..

House is still under construction by builder in the very early stages. I actually don’t know the details of the pool specifics. 🧐 

could you please share with me what I must ask my builder.

thank you!
