PHILIP Barlow rates setting up his own swimming pool business in April last year as, “the best thing I have ever done!” He spends most of the


summer


opening, repairing, r e f u r b i s h i n g ,


servicing and building swimming pools and installing spas/hot tubs so that his clients can relax and enjoy the benefits. Leak detection is one of Philip’s


specialities – losing water in concrete, liner or pipe work in pools can cause stress and worry over the excessive water loss. Most leaks can be identified or remedied easily using specialised leak detection equipment. If you have an outdoor pool that you


would like opened, Philip can offer you a professional service within the next couple of months. He normally starts pool openings anytime from the start of April. If you are experiencing problems such

as pool clarity you may need to change the sand in the filters. It wears out over time, and a simple sand change can restore your water back to crystal clear. High phosphate levels were a problem


in outdoor pools last year - which is like pouring ‘Baby Bio’ plant food into your pool - allowing more aggressive strains of algae a perfect environment to thrive. Problems such as these can cause you unnecessary down time in the summer months. Maybe you simply do not have the time to maintain the pool yourself. Philip can correct the water chemistry for you and advise on how to reduce the chances of such issues as mustard algae happening in the future. These problems can be quickly and easily dealt with generally within four to five days. If


you are considering


refurbishing/restoring your pool, building a pool or installing a hot tub in the garden, Philip would be happy to meet and discuss your thoughts and plans. You can check out Philip's website to
