Q&A with Handy Mac: Pool problem
Q: I have been reading your recent expert advice on swimming pools. I am 64, recently widowed, and am still living in the
home we purchased in 1992. The swimming pool was always kept in pristine condition and I was the one who always did the back-washing
etc. But a few months ago, it became apparent that a pipe needs replacing between the sand filter and the weir box.
With the stringent water restrictions, I have left it, as not being able to top it up, means I cannot circulate the water as the level is now below the weir box. I would like to sell my house and move to a smaller home, with no maintenance. I have read your advice saying it is not good to use gunite if the pool is empty. Could you recommend someone who is not going to charge me the earth and try to rip me off. I am fairly tech savvy so know what needs doing! I was considering repairing the pipe problem and then using fibreglass.
