    Default Pool Heat Pump

    Pool builder is installing a heat pump for our pool, heat pump was specified to be in the garden but now they're saying the contract doesn't include anything to mount the heat pump to .

    Are there precast concrete slabs that would suit? I have googled for options but haven't come across any in Sydney. Any other simple options?

    My pool installer laid a bed of stone dust and placed 600x600x30 precast concrete pavers for all equipment. This means they can run the pipes without hindrance (eg of a solid slab) and place the dust/slabs afterwards. This was included in the price (small beer in context of the whole project)

    Thanks r3nov8or, will ring the owner and push, it certainly is small beer in the context of the whole project. Not doing owner build, they knew where the heat pump was going before signing contracts and it's not on the exclusion list...

    droog, interesting option but I think I'm going to go old school on this one!

    Thanks,
    Rob
