Is that your fortnightly anti-Catholic post done and dusted?

The decision is made today so its quite newsworthy. Like shoeboy my hopes (and all decent people's hopes) would be with those abused, threatened and degraded today also. And I'm not anti-Catholic as I cheered Celtic to a win over Rangers Sunday night!

Not overstating it - having a pool changes your life so much for the better.

Can't wait to be honest.

Best part is we've got pretty easy access for the excavator, bobcat and the crane should be able to drop in with relative ease.

Plan is to be up and running by October 31 for Miss Boon's 18th...

The coach of the national gridiron team, the Outback, being in Adelaide. He's taking positional groups for specialised practice sessions over the next three days.

Then he's back in five weeks for a combine to run us through tests. If we perform well there, we will go to a training camp in QLD in Feb 2019 to compete to make the next World Cup team.

It's a huge long shot for me, but Im gonna give it a crack.

Yep it does, mostly for the better - When issues arise they can be a pain in the ass, but the good times and comfort far outweigh it. Biggest mistake we made was getting a cartridge filter. Try not to do that.

Yeah have to agree. Only downside is they can be a lot of maintenance if not looked after correctly.

To a large extent pools these days look after themselves. Our filter unit is programmed to turn itself on and off, monitors and adjusts chlorine levels, monitors PH and adds a shot of acid as required, tells you when it needs more salt and controls the pump speed, throttling up and down depending on chlorination needs. You only need to test the water fortnightly or so to confirm what the machine is telling you is correct.
Robotic cleaner carries the debris onboard, does not use the filter which means filter rarely needs to be cleaned, except if you do a manual clean.

Pool tech has come such a long way since our original pool was put in in the 70s. Suits me fine!
