Bagwain 223 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I am going to do a flowing picture thread with a Reno we just started in Phuket. Approx 10 yr old pool. 10 x 4 with a Jacuzzi. Original job done well actually. (Unusual as to what we normally tackle) Demolish existing surface. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bagwain 223 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 We are renovating an existing pool not building a new one! Or haven't you noticed? Also quite capable to do any design! Which I have done many times. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowtail 1,069 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) In the US pools are typically plastered with tile around the water-line. What are the advantages and disadvantages of going all tile? And why are most all the pools here so shallow? Edited December 1, 2020 by Yellowtail added text Link to post Share on other sites
THAIPHUKET 151 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Could the jacuzzi also serve as a counter-current for swim training? Link to post Share on other sites

If overfllow then we can PebbleCrete over the edges. We also use tile as barrier breaks to help with PebbleCrete application. We do a special grout that last a lot longer. As apposed to plaster pools, PebbeleCrete last as long as the pool & gets better with age! Quartz crystal based and has a 5 yr product warranty. Most waterparks PebbleCrete due to it wearability & longivity! There is a higher % of pools more shallow here. I think it is age related. Probably more in Phuket, than Pattaya!

In this pool though, a lot of demolision and concrete removal would need to be done. Then the concrete wall would have to be core drilled. A big job. Link to post Share on other sites

It would be better suited to either of each end though! We did 2 in this pool. We had them running whilst filling with water! This pool was a standard 1.5 m depth. 2 x 3 hp pumps to run these.
