Pool Transformation...

For the last few years, the stress of keeping our pool operational had begun to mount, and I had considered whether it was time to close the business. I just wanted to message to say a big ‘Thank You’ for all your support and advice over the last year with our swimming pool and filter. The changes have transformed the pool and taken a huge weight off my shoulders. I am so grateful for all the information that you have shared with us. 😊

When your pool is your business, don't leave its health to chance!

Running a safe, compliant, and efficient pool is no small task—especially for smaller operators.

  • Business or staffing pressures limit your time to deal with the technical issues

  • Don't have the back-office or technical support to assist with health & safety compliance

  • Balancing pool water quality, operating and maintenance costs is a challenge

  • Problems occur too frequently, causing costly business disruption and unhappy customers

  • Access to independent expert advice can be slow to source and expensive

Client Reviews

Martine Branford, Aberaeron Pool

Everything Works Perfectly

Thank you for all your help with the plant refurbishment specification. Everything works perfectly and the water has been crystal clear ever since. I have been able to train up my colleague in the plant room and go away on holiday without worrying! The filter specifications you recommended work great and backwashing takes half the time it used to. Thanks again!

The Best Training

I must say, that was the best Pool Plant Operations course I’ve been on in the past 15 years. You made it a lot more interesting and detailed, so thank you for that!

First Class Delivery

A big thank you for a great few days of on-site Pool Plant Operator training. Some complicated subject matter explained simply and effectively to a group of learners of all abilities and experiences on our site. A first-class delivery from an experienced and friendly trainer who was able to answer any question we threw at him thanks to his years of experience.
