FANTASTIC START.....a view of THE SERVICE AREA COMPLETE
WITH NEW CAIXA......
Whadaya mean "Whadaya mean???"
Obvious isn't it???



Well, just to fill you in, every time we filter the pool water we have to dump some into the uh, dump area.
Alright, street.
Which means the pool is then increasingly less than full, which means you have to buy a truck full of water. ( see previous November post for picture of a water truck....only if you fancy it, obviously. )
So for reasons of economy and convenience we've installed a dump...the caixa or tank as you gringoes would say, for the water and whilst in it, the water gradually clears, leaving clean water which can be pumped back into the pool. Every now and again you pump out the remnants and clean the caixa, or tank, as you gringoes would say.
Of course it's not really that simple ....little funlettes like the pool pump is at the wrong level to do the job, so we have to use the well pump which is round the other side of the house, so we have to run pipes there and back and etc. etc.
So the pool and house plumbings are fairly complex ....still, nice to have a hobby ( apart from the obvious one.....).
