We've had a pool for a few years now, started with an Entex 30'x12', then upgraded to Regatta 10Mx5M.

 

I heat ours with wood, its been between 30c and 33c for the last two weeks, my two girls 8 and 10 spend half their lives in ours.

 

It was a fair bit of work and expense to build and set up all the filtration, heating etc, but it paid back big time in fun and relaxation.

 

There nothing like coming home after a hot day cutting and being able to cool down in the pool.

I think I have some pumps and filters kicking around one of our poly tunnels shame I did not read this post a few days ago. I will see if the sun has killed them yours if you need an extra one and can collect. We are in Andover. Worth getting a tub of chlorine granuals I use one in our hot tub also has clarifier.

My sister has a pool which is saline based as opposed to chlorine. Anyone else done that?

Is that the same as bromine

No, a saline pool uses salt and breaks it down by electrolysis into the two chlorine's that you'd add in a normal pool.

 

A bromine pool uses no chlorine at all, though works quite similar.
