  1. As of next year, gite businesses must generate over 32000 euros AND represent  50% of your family income per year before being registered and therefore enable you to be in the healthcare system.  These new rules have been announced on Internet French Property, if you want to find them. Fran
  2. thanks for that Chrish  - I'll pass it all on. Fran
  3. Hello I have some friends with a recently installed pool which is giving problems.  The company has gone out of business ( quelle surprise!) and they are left with leaking around the skimmers and an algea on the textured base of the pool which they would like some advice on. The pool is block construction and the finish is 'marbling' which is a finish of marble dust, chips and white cement.  This finish is now attracting algea which is finding its way into the tiny textured parts of the finish.  Also, there is leaking around the skimmers (the make is Hayward) which someone has tried to fix but not managed.  I know this is a vague enquiry but if anyone has anything they think it worth passing on to this unfortunate owner, please reply! Many thanks Fran
  4. Thanks John It's a 5P2R and in the manual it say's it is likely to be the presse etoupe which comes in two parts, one of which is ceramic (ummm.. not very technical I know). So thought I should get that and try it.  Whaddya reckon? Fran
  5. Hello   We have found a leak coming from our (sta rite) pump.  Does anyone know where we can get spares for this in France?  We are in the Gers. We have been informed that it is probably the shaft seal or main pump seal so intend to replace those first and see how we go. Thanks Fran
  6. Hi oakbri I would definately look at Pau or the surrounding area.  Not a great deal of snow in the cit but loads just up the road in the mountains and four good seasons.  Also, a really lively town/city with lots going on and only an hour or so from the coast. Frances
