A chemical pool cover is a liquid that is lighter than water which floats on the surface of the pool. Particles within the liquid are attracted to each other to form a thin layer to create the cover. The liquid cover is approximately 80% efficient compared to conventional pool covers and unlike a conventional pool cover which has to be removed from the pool for swimming, the particles separate whenever the water is sufficiently disturbed, but the cover reforms whenever the water becomes calm again. Overall we have been very pleased with the product as it has allowed us to refine our design.

How exciting! Its funny how deep they look when there is no water in them. When you fill it with water it will seem much shallower. First on some practical points the radiator is a slight concern. What you really need is a small air handling package that is linked to the water temperature and that will ensure the air in the pool house is always a couple of degrees warmer than the water in the pool and is circulating to avoid condensation. It would be good to identify who installed the pool (There might be labels on the pool plant) and to get them in to overhaul and recommission it. You could replace the sliding doors with really good quality (Schuco) sliding folding doors so that the whole lot could be opened back on a sunny day. You could get rid of the radiator and make those windows into full height doors as well. The brick walls are a bit sad - but would be a great surface for fixing slate, stone or tile, and for the floor you could look at a non-slip ceramic porcelain large format tiles. We use Solus Ceramics. http://solusceramics.com Lighting is always tricky - if you put lights in the ceiling over the pool it can be hard to change the bulbs. We have got round this in the past by using fibre optic projector lighting (One central lamp and the light is conducted along inert glass cables to the fittings) but it is quite an expensive option, or instead uplight the ceiling using floor or wall lights. In that case you have to think about what it is that you are uplighting - That acoustic tile ceiling belongs in an office - I would love to replace it with a timber ceiling which would be worth uplighting. http://www.universal-fibre-optics.com/pool-and-wet-area-lighting-projects What part of the country are you in?

I think you should take a tip from Spas where they understand that too many watery colours are an overload. Consider adding a wood or stone covering to the wall and then take your paint colour scheme from that.
