... may have been well summarised in a quote on the Radio 4 programme "You and Yours" this lunchtime by a gentleman from the Swimming Pools Association about the current boom in swimming pools. "What about Hot Tubs?" "Hot tubs are the devil's own swimming pool." This was known, in almost all its features, to Hieronymous Bosch the artist - 500 years ago. This is "Tondal's Vision". (No, I don't like hot tubs very much.)

Am considering installing a small pool either in the house or its own building. I know that ventilation and dehumidification will be essential , but what about the corrosive nature of the chlorine and humidity. Will I need to install vapour barriers , and if so what material / how ? If in an outbuilding , I assume that we will have lots of insulation and then a barrier on the inside of it ? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Well it looks as if we have successfully installed our Condor ASP 08 in the ground, actually it is not powered up yet as we have not completed the house wiring. So so whilst I have a digger, dumper and a couple of mates, we started moving all the soil we dug out for the footings and slab back from the bottom of the site, looking to build up a level lawn running out from the decking. However we seem a bit light on old spoil, so made a few calls to get 100m3 of type 1, sadly the price was eye watering and no one can deliver until next week.... We have a decent size plot, so are now pinching some from the bottom for the time being. You can see where this is leading.... Anyone any experience on low budget external swimming pools? We appear to have excavated one!
