A pool in Sydney is like having a personal oasis right in your backyard. But with great pleasure comes great responsibility. To keep your pool pristine and inviting, follow the ABCs of pool maintenance:
A for Algae Control:

C for Cleaning Routine:
– Skim the pool’s surface daily to remove debris. Vacuum the pool weekly to keep it free from dirt and leaves.

– Regularly inspect pool equipment, including pumps, heaters, and timers, for wear and tear. Schedule maintenance as required.
