Desjoyaux’s Chris Elsdon said: “The above-ground pool has shown significant growth not least because of the affordable price tag for a product of such quality but because of its flexibility and ease of use and simple installation process.

It is the ideal solution for the smaller garden and patio areas.” Owners benefit from Desjoyaux’s pipe-free filtering technology that has made the brand a global success.
