Money Saver Tips

The ancient Romans had some serious luxury available when they felt like a dip in the baths. Think vast columns and arches with marble and mosaics tile images. But even they might be inclined to envy the gorgeous array of tiles available to the average modern pool owner.

Fancy living like the Jetsons family? Well, when it comes to your pool you almost can. Automation is here to stay and is revolutionising the way everyday people are taking care of their pools and spas.

Swimart’s EnviroPro range of products encompasses heat pumps, solar heating, LED lights, robotic pool cleaners, cartridge, centrifugal and sand filters plus glass pearl filter media.

With power bills set to continue rising and a growing concern about our impact on the planet, no doubt many of you are looking at ways of reducing your consumption of electricity and other forms of energy.

The heart of your pool’s filtration system, your pump is an essential part of keeping your pool crystal clean. However, your pump can also be a huge energy guzzler, in some cases making up for 20 per cent of your total household energy usage and costs.

As we face a very dry summer, it’s important we conserve our most precious resource: water. Pools are not huge water-wasters as some people believe, in fact, they can account for less than 10% of the annual household water used in many parts of the country.

There is nothing better than relaxing by the pool on a deck chair with a drink in hand. But if your outdoor furniture set is looking less than inviting due to a bit of wear and tear, it might be time to think about refurnishing your outdoor entertainment area.

After many lazy summer afternoons, pool parties and maybe even a few daring dips during winter, your pool’s original design might have lost its appeal. But don’t despair, updating or renewing your pool can give your pool – and landscape – a well needed facelift.
