Redo marbelite on a pool

Check the chemicals first before just chucking in acid. In 7 years of working on a pool in jhb it's hardly ever required acid but more alkalinity up

Yeah I just leave all that to him. I know that he's against acid unless it's a last resort for extreme cases. Every week he tests the water and adds the right amount of chlorine that we need...

All done, pool is full again. Not completely blue because we can only use chlorine for the first week. No acid and other stuff until the marbelite is set.

Also got a new light, but wired into a smart breaker that works through Tuya. So I can set a custom schedule and do some Home Assistant integration.

There's a tree that's constantly shedding flowers into the pool so it's the next thing that needs to go. Getting more solar panels installed, so next year we'll get a heat pump installed...

No just normal blue. From what I've read the RGB ones don't last as long. I'll install an RGB one if this needs to be changed in the next couple of years, because then I may as well...
 
I need recommendations for a professional to fix my marbelite pool in Johannesburg. It's not in a good state at all.

Yeah definitely, I'm not giving up my roof space :laugh:

Just trying to work out how the electricals are going to work, because I don't think the existing wiring will be enough to run a heat pump.

Might need an additional breaker, so it's a question of how do I run new wires from my house to the pool box without it being exposed to the elements...
