Might pay to hang on to those pool cover struts for winter, since gas struts have less lift force in cooler weather you may need the stronger ones. They can also leak their gas over time and generally become weaker too. I'd suggest adding a few lead weights to the underside of the cover, then just remove the weights as needed over time👍
I would add a small attachment to the cover bottom to reduce the lever size on which gaslift pushs in close position, sharper angle. It should reduce force when closed, but add lever size and force when starting to open.
Hi Dave, should that earth wire have been protected against the elements or water from the swimming pool? The connection of the bare copper will oxidize rapidly.
That was also my thinking, for such a supposedly critical safety aspect, they didn't think through the practical side of things being in the elements very well.
Maybe you could weigh that cover down with some of those lead sheets that roofers use where a roof connects to a brick wall. That way you can get the exact amount of weight in there instead of going for weaker struts.
Remember when the pump is installed - don't turn it on, take it apart :)
do you know what Dave's background is?

But does the metal in the poolcover housing have an earth wire? 😃
don't tell the authorities!!!!
Sssshhhh 🤫

Certainly possible.
Nice progress. I hope there'll be some stickers or something on that glass. A kid could run into it.
I’ll reference this video in my next lifetime when I have a pool.
Not in this economy, I guess...
Is the earth wire designed to stay in concrete without any external protection?
Is that 2-3cm tile overhang with no support good? I'd be worried it will break off.
Some nice progress there. Things are going the good way.

Is there any area of greenery like a lawn left?
Yes, down the bottom, but the gras on top between the stepping stones.

Yeah so far the pool is coming a long so well now David
Dave, does the pool cover box also have a drain?
It did
Yes, seen in a preevious video.

Possible
This must cost a small fortune with all the certifications and extra measures?
Hope you can enjoy it for a lifetime!
That's the plan.
Enjoying the pool series
Ah yes, I need my pool updates, thank you!
Well balanced. You should install the requisite calibration sticker on this thing.
Gonna be a good lookin' pool. I need to get me some of that TH-camr money! ;)
Stop, I can only get so pleased.
wen u building my pool
Watch out for snakes 😅
1.21GW of power to use the pool😂
