Just a word of warning. If the pool water level gets so high that it's lapping on the underside of the coping stones, then the water can easily get through the mortar they're bedded on. It can then get behind the tiles. You wouldn't see an immediate problem, but it could in time result in tiles falling off.

I've just drained some water out of the pool, have wet feet as a result, and have had to resort to a glass of whisky to console myself.

Good advice on the current outside wet weather.Jim, and I like the idea of the Whiskey to wet your inside with too.

Tell everybody this please:

Hi 

FLOOD DAMAGE and INSURANCE

CARS and insurance for flood damage

Just in case you do not already know, if you have fully comprehensive cover on your car you are paying a small amount each month to the Consortio. The Insurance will not pay for your car repairs for the Gota Fria but the Corsortio will. You need to make a claim with the Consortio. We only found this out when we were caught out in the last Gota Fria earlier this year when our car was water logged. The Consortio paid out - we had no problem.

HOUSE and insurance for flood damage.

Exactly the same applies as above. If you have House and Contents insurance you are also paying a small amount each year to the Consortio, so you make your claim with the Consortio - as same as you would for the car above.

Need any further advice come back to me and I will look up details of our claim with the Consortio so that you have telephone numbers, addresses of where to claim etc., BUT your Insurance Company should help you with the relevant claim - must add here ours did not help us, but another insurance company did. Hence we changed insurance companies when the car insurance ran out.

Good luck, Remember, if you are insured you are covered, do not accept that you are not, you are paying the Consortio every month so you are entitled to claim.

If you are not insurance, sorry I cannot help you.

Good luck

Andrea Murphy

Hi Jim good advice in heavy rain drain mine below the skimmers and switch them off and use vac point and bottom drain allows me to get level lower then less chance of over filling in heavy rain cheers again jim

Thanks Andrea that is exactly what we are currently going through I called Liberty Seguras our insurance company for both car and house today as we have an awful lot of damage to our home, outside areas pool and car.  We had continuous rain and storms for over 24 hours Thursday and Friday in our part of Murcia, back to the insurance they gave me the telephone number of our local consortia who I intend contacting Monday hopefully things will work out I have checked our policies and all seems ok thanks again your advice was great
