Hey there Cheryl, how did you go with this?

Thanks for this helpful guide! I especially agree when it comes to always getting a professional to drain your pool, especially when you have a vinyl pool liner.

I would recommend getting your home tested. Asbestos can be found in the most unlikely places and getting it removed is costly. Whether renovating or not, it will be beneficial knowing where it is and what condition it is in. For example, if you want to do something as simple as hang pictures on a wall, you’ll know whether you can safely install hooks. Or if your asbestos fence is damaged in a storm, you can get it repaired or replaced the right way. If you start renovating and your tradie unknowingly rips into some asbestos containing material, you risk contaminating your house and the cleanup bills will be huge.

Currently I am using a Astral chlorine dispenser. I am more than prepared to consider some kind of an electrical alternative, if again I can convince myself of the reliability merits of such a system. Here in Thailand these devices do not come cheap, secondly there's also the cost of renewal cartridges. Can anybody please point me to any chlorinator reviews, under the same test conditions, that would differentiate the pros and cons of each alternative. Tried, tested and reviewed by a respected authority connected to the industry?
