Hi I agree with above post. we have been selling pools and liners for around 20years and 50 % is what we charge as a rule for a liner deposit or 1000euros on order and made up to 50% on start   hope this helps chrish

Hi Teapot is correct liners are easier when installed in the hot weather, but we put liners in all year round. chrish

Hi the Hayward vac ultra works well at around 400euros if you take all of the extras off but i would go electric for 800euros much better chrish

hi where are you?? chrish

Hi As of a couple of weeks ago when i last looked at this Only a couple of in pool alarms  pass the new regs (april 2009) the V2 aquaalarm and the VISIOPOOL classique both retail at about 295euros. Most of the companies are having to test their alarms again which will take time but the problem is that a lot of suppliers have old stock and are still selling them. make sure that any one you purchase has the new regs from April  NF 90 307/A1 PM me if you need help getting one chrish  

Sorry ErnieY the fence you have at the sides with the concrete posts does not conform you will need to have a fence with a certificate of conformity or read the 40 pages of tests and self certify, this goes for the gates also that’s why i said an alarm will be the cheapest option Ps nice job on the pool chrish

Jonzjob is correct but cheapest way is an alarm (although i hate them) around 295euros be careful that it passes the new april regs many do not if you need any more info please email or call chrish

yep try a flock for 24hrs and it should clear chrish

We must know the water chemestry to be able to help but it will cost more for a good tester than to refill   chrish

I was told a single family Gite will not be counted as public. chrish

Thats only a small resume of the regs, i do not think they will ever  have the funds to employ enough people to enforce them. chrish  

Had my visit with the DDASS, they were very helpful . This is as much as i can remember for now, Please do not post arguments with the following its what was said and even if you disagree please take it up with the DDASS not me i did not do this to start a war only give a bit more information.. A public pool is any pool which is used by more than one family not including private houses , so by Law any pool which is shared with two gites for example would come under the DAASS. This rule is not policed as they do not have the staff, for example in the LOT they have two staff and have 350 pools to inspect so she said there is no way that they will be looking for the small gite complexes, in the LOT they start to get interested at 6 gites sharing a pool. This is not to say that one day they could look at all shared pools. Some departments have started to control small gite complexes already. It is the responsibility of the pool owner to apply to the DAASS not the pool installer. All the regs are the same no matter which department in France. The only thing which changes is the interpretation of the regs. They only have rules for pools over 240mcu and rules for pools under 240mcu . They inspect once a month and are mainly concerned with water quality and test ph , free clor, total clor and cyanuric acid, then they will take a sample to be tested in the lab. The pool owner must take these readings twice a day and note them on a form which they supply In the lot they only visit in july and august. Tests must be with dpd tablets. They can visit any time and have the right to test the pool without the owner’s permission. Pools must have an auto clor dispenser but PH does not have to be automatic. They will not allow salt pools at all. Pools under 240mcu have no regs to say how many times the water must be circulated. Any kind of filter can be used no control at all. Sand filters should have a separate foss to take the backwash water. One skimmer per 25cum water. If a pool comes under the DDASS then it should have a min of one WC and a shower in the near vicinity of the pool and a foot bath at the entrance to the pool, this goes up depending on the amount of people using the pool. New installations will be controlled for wheelchair access to the pool area. Pools are not allowed to be toped up with a hose pipe so must be connected to the mains and a Bac de disconnexion must be included to protect the Reseau public. Summer let pools should be emptied and refilled once a year, and 30 lt min of water changed per person per day . Pumps should run 24/24. Chemicals should be in a child proof container and locked by Key away from the pool area. Hope this helps Chrish

But may be clearer than they are now, the last time i had info from them was 40 pages which you cant get to the bottom of chrish
