Skipping pool winterisation in New Zealand can lead to costly spring repairs. Learn how Swimart's Winter Care Pack protects your water, surfaces, and equipment all winter long.

To enjoy water that sparkles, your pool filter needs to be in optimum working condition, here are five tell-tale signs that it’s time to consider replacing your pool filter.

Everyone wants a crystal clear pool and while sanitizing goes a long way towards keeping the water clean and healthy, there is another half to the equation: filtering. But it's not just a simple matter of installing the equipment. The type of media chosen for the filter can make a huge difference to the quality of the water and the amount of maintenance required. Sand and glass pearls are among the main options of filter media available on the market. Both have benefits and drawbacks to be considered.

One of the simplest and most reliable ways to maintain healthy pool water throughout the year – especially in the busy summer season – and keep your filtration system clean is to backwash regularly.

The goal of every pool owner is to swim in the cleanest, healthiest water – preferably with little effort and using the least amount of chemicals and resources.

As a pool or spa owner, you’ve probably already experienced the soothing effects water can have on your body, particularly with relieving tired, aching muscles. Spas, in particular, are often used for hydrotherapy purposes but at the end of a long hot summer’s day, stretching out your muscles with a few laps in the pool can be just as rejuvenating on your mind and body.

Featuring seven specialised categories – algaecides, balancers, clarifiers, oxidisers, sunscreens, spa chemicals and trouble shooters – Aqua-Health freshwater and saltwater solutions make it easy to maintain clean and healthy water year-round.

Fully tiling a pool is regarded as the premium interior finish for concrete inground pools. Whether you’re updating an old swimming pool or building a brand new one, the type of interior tile you choose will have a big impact on its overall look and feel.
