chadd2025-07-17T15:32:46+10:00Just because the air temperature might be cooling down, it doesn’t mean you should stop enjoying your pool. The ideal temperature for leisure swimming is between 25 and 26 degrees Celsius, but this temperature is rarely achieved naturally. For most of the swimming season, the temperature is usually about 18 to 20 degrees, with most of the warmth gained during the day then lost overnight.

Jump in and have fun may seem like the obvious answer, but before you yell: “Last one in’s a rotten egg!”, there are a few things you need to do to ensure the safety of your friends and family, as well as keep your big investment in tip top condition.
Daisy Pool Cover
chadd2025-07-18T09:33:43+10:00Pool covers used to be as simple as a piece of plastic stretched across the surface of the water to keep falling leaves out.

That cloudy discoloured water is the result of algae, a plant that thrives in water with a high pH level. It grows from spores and attaches to the skin of swimmers, resulting in a slimy feeling. While the slime washes off skin easily, the danger is when it attaches to pool stairs, sides and ladders, making them slippery.
