EASY DOES IT

Contemporary pools require surprisingly little maintenance, says John Storch, director of A Total Concept Landscape Architects & Swimming Pool Designers. “The shift to automated technology has meant greater ease of cleaning, balancing water pH and heating,” he explains. “Some systems allow you to control your pool’s filtration, lighting and water features remotely.” This kind of technology is becoming more affordable as smarthome automation continues to develop.

WATER TESTING

Regular testing of pool water is essential. Bunnings offers a free testing service that gives you a prescription for the exact chemicals you need to treat your pool.
