I'm considering the idea of converting our 55,000 litre
swimming pool (better known as the money well) into a

solid concrete, with no leaks.
Has anybody out there done this or heard of it being done.
From what I have read, it seems feasible, and the pump on
the pool now appears to be the right power to supply the
house.

Any and all hints and tips would be appreciated.

That's basically a cistern you're contemplating making. Look it
up on Google. Not advisable.

Hi Pop
Looked it up on Google, and got a huge amount of cistern manufacturers
ads and how to fit one to a toilet etc. nothing definitive.
Can you shine any light on your recomendation please.

I'm hearing a lot of people here saying it can't be done, but so far
not one convincing reason it isn't a reasonable idea.

Try a google search on "underground rainwater tank" and you will find
there are literally hundreds of companies selling them.

I have the tank, I need a top, and some good advice on what CAN be done
to make it work, I'd rather not hear any more on how it CAN"T be done.
It's pretty obvious it will work.

So please those of you who are dedicated to making things happen please
keep posting.
