Perfect timing. I am asked by my builder where am I going to have the pool for strengthtened footing (and added cost)... am now sweating and thinking maybe Swim spa is better

Frameless glass for fibreglass pool? How does that work? No pic of expected pool?

 

I think she means frameless glass pool fence.

 

yes

 

$31K Sounds like an excellent price

 

very good price, my niece used same supplier, came in around 5k cheaper than other quotes

 

I got quoted 44K for 12x2.5 and does not include anything apart from the pool + solar system

 

I am using buccaneer pools, this includes all the fruit, other than the heating pump

I note there are good and bad reviews with just about every pool company I researched

 

Good stuff, well done.
Is it still warm there in June?

 

was that a joke....lol. it's winter, even in Perth

I have been told better prices if buy in winter? I don't think so

I have wanted a pool for years, last Perth summer was the last straw got so hot we decided we can't do another summer without a pool.... we will now be prepared....
pool, bbq, pizza oven, glass or 2 of wine, I think I'm set, happy days

 

I don't think she is joking (or if I asked, I am not joking).... I thought Perth is always hot...

 

I dunno, I was swimming at the beach in June the 1st year I moved to QLD.

 

OK, that's nice....I wont be doing this in June

 

You wont regret it. Having your own pool is absolutely amazing. I feel like a millionaire when I'm in our pool!

 

I can not wait, should be brilliant in summer on those scorching hot days.

 

We have huge gum trees surrounding our garden and a big mob of cockatoos. Plus a couple of palm trees. Feels absolutely like being on a tropical holiday, cooling down in the pool. We're definitely in the lucky country here, or some of us are. You'll be able to play pool volleyball! We spent the last fèw months doing that most days, it was really funny. Plus bbqs. Roll on summer.

 

A beautiful brand new pool just sitting there - you've got to at least test it out!

 

Ramp up that gas heater. Brand new pool!

 

And add some solar pool heating to your roof.

 

Just got a swim spa. Been in it every night for over an hour this week. $25k total cost.

The swim jets actually work really well. But to be honest its the massage jets which are the best feature. 5.5m by 2.25m and 1.3m deep.

Set it at 34 degrees and could still use it during the 12 degree night last night.
