Don't need to add salt unless it rains and some gets washed out. The chlorine generated by the chorinator turns back into salt and gets recycled.

Looks Brilliant BLD, job well thought out and executed

Done a great job looks a treat well done.
it's give me inspiration to get mine underway.I will do the concrete my self and get someone to do the tiles.I am not sure how you set the pump and filters up though I will need to look into that.
The thread was great to read
If you are working on the pan Aust mine I sent my CV off there for construction manager on the tailing dam.I constructed tailings and leach pads in Mexico for 3 years did they complete the works?
Good luck the house pool looks great any advise over where to buy the saltwater system would 've appreciated

Thanks jimbob, I was working at the sepon mine in savannakhet province, different company from pan aust, After 9 years i was made redundant in febuary,Spent my redundancy money on the pool dont know much about pan austs projects but i hear they are also laying off a lot of expats, Things are still quite shitty in the mining game.
I got the saltwater system and pumps etc from the farang who built it, he gets all his stuff from swimming pools Thailand, pump is emoux and the control box and salt generator zodiac, Had to adjust the chlorine output yesterday after testing the water and finding it was making to much chlorine, Was hurting the kids eyes

Thanks BLD I will look into that for the pump etc,as you said it's better getting the locals to sort out the donkey work I've already had a ferang get in touch to do the work.I will try and sort it myself
Good luck with the job search

Got made redundant in febuary Jim and had a new job in March Still in Lao. Doesn't pay as well but I'm home every night and enjoying the change

Well in ide work for half the money if I could get work over there
I'm off to Aberdeen Scotland next week ,shite and freezing
It's not all about the money is it mate ?

Brilliant work done in making the pool.
