Give your local swimming pool specialist a ring (try Yellow Pages)!

Does it look like the one from Bad Boys 2 that Martin Lawrence had? If so they look awesome.

well its a bit smaller it has a ring at the top that you have to blow up and and when you fill it the ring rises with the water level

me mate has a pool like badboys 2 but he has had to have his whole garden dug up and leveled

Great.

You've bought a pool.

That means we are not going to see the sun in Bristol again. Ever.



Cheers.

I have a pool and mine is crystal clear

I purchased a kit off Ebay as ben said before....

You do need some idea about how much water there is in the pool

I use the chlorine granuals and also the alkaline reducer substance

Make sure you have a good filter and clean it out once a week
