We decided to get the Olive filter operational yesterday.
The bottom of the Olive is filled with something called Alfagrog, which sounds like a particularly potent drink for alpha males, but is actually a ceramic substance similar to the ceramic coals you find on flame-effect gas fires, having a huge surface area on which to attract a biofilm. It additionally acts as ballast. The total surface area of the Alfagrog in the Olive is 80 square metres, more than enough to support the size of our pool.
The first attempt was successful in demonstrating its basic operation, but the device required some trimming adjustment, which Hayley performed in order to attain the correct draft and balance.
Just the plants to wait for now, along with some gabion baskets we ordered. Next on the project plan is to consider the pool edging, so no more updates for a while.
