Don't know how I stumbled on your channel but glad I did. Super refreshing seeing someone being open and honest with how much things cost as it'll help countless people moving forward. Thank you

@AddictedtoTools Год назад

Cheers mate. Hopefully it can help some. It’s hard to budget and figure out a lot of this work. Have a great week.

@reyjes Год назад

It looks very modern, aesthetically pleasing, and in terms of functionality, everything one would want in a pool at home. Awesome! Many good times to come by the pool, undoubtedly.

@LJLancaster Год назад

The feature "timber" deck looks really good against the contrast of the lighter tile. Well done turning a problem into a really elegant solution

@shedmanx3640 Год назад

A great addition to your home. The kids will love it. We installed a fibreglass in ground pool about 12 years ago. The kids have grown up with it and now the grandchildren are using it. They are pricey but worth it for the memories we have acquired. I’m not surprised with the cost as ours, in Melbourne, was quoted at a basic price of $35,000 for a 9m x 4m pool. We upgraded in floor cleaning system, a large gas heater, solar heating and an 8 person spa. The total cost was in excess of $76,000. At the time it caused a few squabbles between the wife and I but she is happy I insisted on the upgrades as I now have medical issues preventing me from cleaning or maintaining the pool. With the upgrades it looks after itself. I get a pool guy around once a year to look after the chemical balance and any other stuff I can’t do. Lugging around bags of salt, etc is beyond my abilities now.

@josephj6521 Год назад

Great job. Impressed how the fence turned out. Let’s see how long the composite timber lasts. I’ve seen conflicting comments about them. The tiles are beautiful. My opinion on pools when we bought our home: most are too small to swim. We saw too many homes with tiny pools that are only good for very young children. We wanted one where you can swim in as we age. We ended up buying a home without a pool as they were a hindrance and we have more yard space instead and the kids love it. I remember one home had a nice lap pool (about 20m long) which was fantastic but the location wasn’t ideal. Do people use their small pools regularly once the kids get older?

@pavan151 10 месяцев назад

Very informative video mate. I'm looking at getting a small plunge pool in too. The decking on yours looks top notch! Definetly made the right choice there instead of concrete or tiling.

@AddictedtoTools 10 месяцев назад

Cheers mate. Definitely look into all the pricing differences with plunge and concrete pools unless you’re really wanting the plunge look. We went down that avenue in the last house and with everything done the plunge was about the same price. We thought it would be cheaper

@dumbaussie975 Год назад

Nice work mate, appreciate the honesty with cost. Might be an idea to lose the weed mat before planting. It will do more harm than good if you leave it in. If you’re worried about weeds better off using cardboard and mulch.

@gold4leaf Год назад

good size family pool, and the decking is a nice contrast to the tiles . only comment you may find the seaspray coloured fence and shed will create a lot of reflected heat and glare, we had primrose colorbond fencing , so we spray painted them woodland grey (a colorbond colour) and the glare and reflected heat was dramatically reduced

@AddictedtoTools Год назад

Thanks Garry. That’s definitely something that we’ve joked about. We may have to wear glasses out the back😂 I’m hoping it’s not too bad. Might have change some colours or add more plants. Definitely something ti consider though. Cheers for the feedback 👍

@gold4leaf Год назад

@@AddictedtoTools no worries ... also another thought ... with the pump/filter/heater/electrics, are you considering enclosing or covering them from the weather, as covering them will make them last many more years. our pump is just about to die and its over 25 years old

@AdrianTripp Год назад

What about earthing the skimmer box frame and lid? Looks like yours is a metal framed one.

@user-eg4zw5lc4s Год назад

Hey mate, do you have a review of the glass fence? We have a similar size pool being built and we are deciding on a glass or poolperf fence. We have read mixed reviews with glass being dirty with mixed reviews if products like enduroshirld work. Also do you get much glare of the surfmist fence? Cheers mate

@gokulbhushan Год назад

Great work mate. My pool shell is in, and I am planning to concrete around the pool too - can I know who used for concreting and tiling - Also, did you install the frame yourself? I am based in Brisbane too !!

@degreaser1263 6 месяцев назад

What height does the boundary fence need to be? I can see there is quite a space for the garden which probably removed about 250mm off the height.

@grahamclark432 Год назад

Nice pool. Just a heads-up that it looks like you've got some calcium build up on your chlorinator cell. Can be pulled out and cleaned with an acid wash.

@LeonVanDongen Год назад

Cool channel mate. Are you worried the palm tree roots might mess up the deck or fence as it grows bigger?

@aushobbit Год назад

Great video. Heads up your salt cell needs a quick clean to remove the calcium buildup. Quick acid wash (mild) should do the trick

@AddictedtoTools Год назад

Oh true. Is that because I’m low on acid? I only just topped it up the other day. I’ll get into that. I appreciate it mate

Great video. Very informative, Ive been quoted 61K for a 6x4 fiberglass which does not include crane, excavation, tiles, fence (I think ive worked that out to be another 17-20K) I am also 8 hours from the nearest capital city so have to factor transport etc in.

@simpletonballsack 6 месяцев назад

God, that's expensive essentially just for a delivered pool. I'm looking at a 15mx3.8m fibreglass pool a couple hours out of a city and if it gets up over that $70k mark I'll have to pull the pin.

@shaeturrell1503 6 месяцев назад

Yeah must be COVID tax, for the installers to come to where I live ($2599 - as there are no installers here or at least any with a track record) Transport of the pool ($6584) I am also getting an underground blanket box and heater which is pumping my price up. Base price of the pool alone is $39328 which I found competitive with another installer from our of town.@@simpletonballsack

@WillmannElectrical Год назад

Wasnt sure of the earthing rules with those glass panel spigots - good idea keeping them out of the pool zone. I know a guy that had to rip up his slab cos the sparky that did his pool was clueless 😵

@AddictedtoTools Год назад

Damn! Yeah don’t want to miss that. If that happened now I’d get the insulated spigots. I just found out ours are the insulated version so they can actually be closer.

@DodgyBrothersEngineering Год назад

For those of us not electrically inclined. Why the need to earth the pool?

@WillmannElectrical Год назад

@@DodgyBrothersEngineering It's cause any electrical fault has a much higher potential to kill in a wet environment - lowers the resistance of the skin. Everything within 1.25m needs to be bonded to the earthing system of the properties electrical system, that way if a conduit breaks in the slab and freakishly comes in contact with a metal exposed part it will trip the RCD/CB. If the same situation happens and the metal part isnt earth bonded, that part will be potentially deadly to touch.

@DodgyBrothersEngineering Год назад

@@WillmannElectrical in the video he talks about using low voltage. Would it be safe to assume that the light in the pool is something like 12v DC?

@GeelongCableLocations Год назад

Hmmm interesting, I didn't actually know about the earthing with pools. I mean yeah, it makes total sense, I'm just surprised I haven't heard about it before. Could this possibly be a state based rule that maybe isn't in place in Victoria?

We put a pool and deck in at our place, same size 5x3 heated etc. virtually the exact same as yours except slightly deeper and a smaller main step. Came in at 45k including the heater and about 6m of glass fencing. Took them nearly 9 months to do it though. Worst company ever. In Bris as well. What heat pump are you going with? Only just found your channel today but subscribed already as it’s very diy informative 🤙

In reference to your comment Running this pool on magnesium While I have seen that system run on magnesium, it is not specifically made for magnesium And is your comment I don’t know a lot about it that is a very common that leaves pool consumers down what’s called the pool barrel After 10 years, they get completely burnt out with all the advice and all the sixes and all the repairs while those fixes and repairs might’ve been appropriate and relevant, it’s not joined up as a holistic approach What exactly are you after because generally most call consumers don’t understand everything that they’re after Nae let the conversation take its own course, and they disconnect with the process of that transaction We all have different ways of informing ourselves about subjects that we know we are not informed about which is great. You already said, I don’t know a lot about it and as a tradesperson you’re better off, knowing yourself that you don’t know about something, then assuming yourself that you do so well done 👍 What I do, sometimes when I can’t tell an item apart, and they all say the same thing Have a look in your own area for an independent consultant that is able to sit down with you and what are you exactly after and having a look at your pool? What would he have done differently to make it perform a little bit better? I can already see some issues That I would’ve done different, but then again I do do most things extremely different in my pool career and my personal life
