There’s nothing like spending those hot humid summer days lazing by the swimming pool. The sparkle of crystal clear water and the cool tempting depths that invite you to plunge right in, and stay there until the temperature drops to a more reasonable level. Except that unfortunately you haven’t had time to indulge in a spot of pool cleaning for a couple of weeks so that sparkling, crystal clear water isn’t quite so clear and sparkling right at the moment. In fact it could do with a good dose of pool chemicals as well but you haven’t had time to pop down to your local pool shop and get them either. However, the days are heating up and the kids are clamouring to use the pool so it’s obviously time to call in the big guns!
