We have added the edge tiles to the swimming pools, this obviously have a visual affect but it also makes the swimming pool edge much easier to clean as swimmers leave suntan lotion oil on the waters surface.

The block-work is now finished, we then render the swimming pool walls and screed the pool base.

It is important to cut away the render around the pool light and inlet valves so that the fiber-glass resin has good contact.

The final structural part of the project are the swimming pools. We have leveled the base and compacted the soil ready for a thin layer of concrete. This gives us a base to work on. A steel mesh is constructed of 12mm steel on top of which we pour approx 20cm thick concrete.

The base is now finished and we are laying the blocks for the sides of the swimming pool.

This is the traditional system for building Lanzarote swimming pools and is used all over Spain. This construction system has been used by Lanzarote Builders for many years.

The main pool structure is finished and the pipe work is now installed.

The pool has been rendered and the fibergless finished.

The swimming pool has been topped up, the fountain works very well and all the pool lights are now working.

I have moved the Heat pump and we are running the final checks for everything.

The pool is now finished and we are starting to fill it with water. The filter has been filled with sand and we have plumbed in the heat pump leaving plenty of long lengths of tubing for the future instillation of a salt chlorinator. The electrician will finish off on Monday morning and i am getting him to put the light switch in the sitting room, to turn on the new outside lights, that the ones next to the BBQ, the spots and the lower wall lighting, there is room for one more switch next to the existing one.
