Dismountable pools
We've seen a dismountable pool, manufactured by GRES, which gives a 2 year guarantee, but a friend of ours said that they only last 2 years. Could anyone give us information, good or bad on dismountable pools?
Many thanks
Many thanks

Re: Dismountable pools
Hello jjh,
I helped a very good friend of mine to erect one of these type of pools last year, he lives in Spain full time and bought the pool from a local big name supermarket that we have here. (Sax, Alicante area)
It has corragated aluminum sides with a plastic pool liner in the round frame, it also has a electric filter system included and cost around 700 euros.
He has not dismantled it since we built it last April, and kept it covered during the winter, he has not had any problems with it I check the filter each week and advise him on the care of the Ph levels.
He is very happy with it and has had no problems with it at all, but like in most walks of life you get the good stories and the bad, I suppose its what you pay for is what you get. I hope I have given you a little insight to the portable pools.
Good hunting.

This really helps. It's similar to other info given to me on another Forum.
Question, are you the same David who kindly sent me the telefonica info. If you are then thanks again. If not, then sorry I thought you were someone else.

Re: Dismountable pools
Hello jjh,
Yes I am the one who gives the information out, living in Spain and holding a conversation with the Spanish people is difficult as I can only just hold my end up. So when I want information I look hard on the internet. Plus I write an information newsletter for the local expats here in Sax.
So my information has to be correct I check out all information before writing it into my newsletter, I also post it on the internet, the web site is only a month or so old so all the information is not on there yet. But you can find some very informative sites for ex pats if you look.
Here are a few
Telefoica in English
Driving and cars in Spain
British Embassy Advice to expats
Translator Spanish/English
Learn Spanish word of the day FREE
Spanish Ombudsman
Spain 4 Expats
Jobs in Spain
Social Security in Spain
Expat Exchange
Spain UK United
Costa Blanca Live
British Expat Live
These are just some of the sites which keep me informed, but there are many more out ther.
I do hope these keep you informed of the events and questions that you might have.
If I can be of any more service to you let me know.
