In this video, I take you through the exciting next steps in my DIY pool restoration journey, prepping for the liner install! From plastering walls and updating piping to connecting heating systems and setting up electrical components, I show you exactly what’s been done to ensure the pool is ready for its new liner. Plus, I share challenges I’ve faced, like resolving stress cracks and adapting built-in parts for the liner installation.
Here’s what you’ll see: ✅ How I transformed a steel wall pool into a brick-built pool with aerated concrete. ✅ The process of plastering walls, reinforcing with mesh, and smoothing out surfaces for a flawless liner fit. ✅ Updates to the skimmer, nozzles, and lamp niches, ensuring everything is installed and aligned perfectly. ✅ My outdoor kitchen setup and improvements to the southeast side, including lawn irrigation and electrical wiring. ✅ Testing and repairing EPDM solar mats to heat the pool water efficiently.
You’ll also get a glimpse into the technical upgrades, like the use of glass filters, connections for Reolink cameras, and plans for further improvements, including my diesel parking heater system. This restoration project has been a labor of love, and I’m excited to share every detail with you.
