This Pool was completed Spring 2006
The Pool was constructed in our prefered method of a Concrete raft on the base and 2 skins of 100mm solid concrete blocks and a cavity filled with vibrated concrete. Two coats of waterproofed render and one coat of waterproof screed are applied ready to accept the ceramic mosiac tiles. The tiles are then fixed with a waterproof adhesive and grout.
The automatic safety cover was supplied by ‘Paramount’ a company that D&S have worked with many times before and have been using for many years. The cover is a material cover that is powered by a hydraulic motor, the good thing about their system is there are no electrics in the pit where the cover is situated.
The Surround is laid in Indian Sand Stone (fossil Mint) and reclaimed stock bricks for the retaining walls. The bricks were re-claimed from the house next door which was demolished.
The coping stones on the pool are standard swimming pool copings finished in Buff.
The pool water circulated by Hayward 1hp super pump and filtered by a tagelus sand filter and heated via a 125 btu Teledyne Laars natural gas boiler.
