It's what we would fit... I would have possibly gone 24" with a 1.0HP Pump... not 20" mind - but then I like slightly overspeccing.

Slowly but surely!

How may l/h is the flow ?

The 20" filter is 10m3/hr... So this pool would have a turnover rate of between 5 and 5.5 hours.

A 24" filter would bring it down to under 4.

So what does that equate to in time to heat the pool to 30 degrees?

You call that 'slowly'? I'd take all morning for that and it still wouldn't be level.

Depends on the heater being used! Are you going air source heat pump?

Dunno who makes them, but Certikin is one (if not the) biggest supplier of pool kit in the UK so I'd expect it to be a good solid mid-range product.

Decided to just go with an oil boiler right now. May add an air pump later to save on oil. Gas wasn't an option in time for this build.

Rough rule of thumb is going to be 1 degree every 5 hours

Bottom right gap the one which was work in progress ?

I certainly hope so!

For some reason Thumbsnap will not let me upload images at the moment. I'll try later.

[JulianPH]

Is anyone else having problems uploading images. It still won't let me!

Yep, problem here too.
