    Well here is a great big swimming pool I saw today, to my mind it seems a bit dangerous due to the depth, the steps leading into the pool seem to be at a depth of about 1.8 meters deep, ie no steps into the shallow end

    IMO Should definately have a ladder in the deep end... I also agree that the steps should be moved towards the shallow end a little more..

    naw, it will be fine until they fill it up

    I suppose the steps will give a choice of which depth you want to go into

    turn left if you can't swim

    I C it the same way. Looks as if one could step out from the deaper end right onto the steps. I sort of like this feature.

    Somehow I think it was in the design to have an option to go toward shallow or deep ends. Good observation though.

    Looking for a Pool company to break n the Pattaya Market

    We are looking for a pool company that wants part of the market in Pattaya. If you are please contact me at info[at]byownerthailand.com


    We are also looking for anyone else in any phase of construction. We are not looking for employees, we are looking for Independent contractors that just want to expand or break into the Pattaya Market.

    Re: the steps at the deep end

    I thought that it's common place to go off the deep end here I guess the steps are a new concept to an easier landing....

    Talking How about the Waterproofing

    I was looking with interest at your pool construction and the most important part the wateproofing did NOT get a mention.
    Is your pool still holding water???
    I have found that most pool builders bypass this little bit of important action.
    We have nothing but problems where we live until we used Drizoro Waterproofing.
    Lucky it is in Bangkok.
    Let me know how youir pool is going

    Very nice description of the whole process. I guess I won't ever do that now.

    Inviting advice from the experts, probably not worth a new thread, but reason enough to bump DD.


    A neighbour recently had a pool makeover, small, c8m by c4m, took about a week with 6 workers, stripped and replaced everything, looks sweet, and it's fully automated in respect to water quality, ph and whatever. Some things will always need to done manually, fex removing leaves from the bin, but most people could handle that on a good day, and I think he may have overpaid a bit at 100k, but that's not critical.


    Meanwhile, we pay 1500bt/pm and the lad pops in 3x weekly for general care and maintenance, and for the most part this system works; when something goes wrong he'll fix it at extra cost, fex a recent pump malfunction.


    There's probably stuff I'm overlooking, but for now are these automated systems efficient and reliable, I can worthless guarantees for stuff born in China involving expense/inconvenience when something goes wrong, and what's your take on paying 100k to save 1500bt/pm, allowing for the value of an entirely new pool?
