Safety Tips
For those who have or have had small children, dealing with accidents is not something you are unfamiliar with. What you might not have had to think about before is the possibility of a toilet-related incident occurring whilst your child (or even someone else’s!) is in the pool. Would you know what to do if this happened? The idea can bring a comical visual to mind, however it can be less than amusing in real life. Never fear, we have a basic overview to help you deal with an accident.
Although your pool and spa are essentially quite similar, caring for your spa properly requires different treatment. Because of its small size, high temperature and state of constant aeration, the conditions in your spa place can wreak havoc upon the sanitisation, water balance and pH levels.
While winter may see your family curled up on the couch rather than splashing about in the pool, it’s still important to keep your pool in good shape.
Water balance is crucial to having clean, healthy and sparkling pool water that is free of algae and other harmful bacteria. Letting your water balance wander too far into acidic or alkaline territory, and it can have detrimental long term effects on your pool and its equipment.
Owning a spa is all about luxurious relaxation in your own backyard. However, spas require a similar maintenance regime to swimming pools, lest you come home to a cloudy spa filled with algae.
