Hi MissEm,
My appologies, your pool guy was correct, I was thinking of the flow rate after the filter rather than the pressure between the pump and filter. So it…

The efficiency of a mechanical filter such as a cartridge filter increases as it stores particular matter such as sand etc. The more they filter the better they filter…

Vacuuming to waste will waste a lot of water, I would use a skimmer sock while vacuuming to collect most of the debris in the skimmer. Our pool has…

I just had a look on the bioniser site and I like the idea of a chlorine and salt free pool. The bioniser system uses copper at a concentration…

Thanks for that,

I got 'acoustic de-coupling' from whirlpool. Its likely to be a big job but now I'm a step in the right direction in doing it right.
I think it…

I should add that the sound is coming through the wall rather than the roof as the roof in question is above the kitchen below and at about the same…

I don't know how the building/provision thing works but you need all the wiring done before the plaster board goes up.
