If you are taking the plunge and adding a swimming pool to your home, there are a few essential things that you will need. A reliable heater for your new pool is one of the most important investments that you will make, which is why it can pay to do some careful research and shop around before you make a purchase. The Swimming Pool Store have been established as one of the leading suppliers of swimming pool accessories for many years, and as well as constructing your new pool, we can also provide everything that you need to add the finishing touches to your pool – including a range of swimming pool heaters which can help you to enjoy swimming throughout the year.

The unreliable British weather may make you reconsider installing a pool at your property, but there is no reason why UK homeowners shouldn’t enjoy all of the benefits of their very own pool. Inspired by your favourite holiday homes, you could bring a touch of the Mediterranean to your own garden, and a swimming pool heater will help to ensure that you can make the most of your pool whatever the weather.

The Swimming Pool Store understand that, as well as needing a heater which will keep your water warm and welcoming, you will also be looking for a heater which works efficiently and economically. A heat pump swimming pool heater is one of the most efficient ways to heat your pool, as it absorbs heat energy and moisture from the air and converts this into a reliable source of heat for your water. This is a great, green way to keep your swimming pool warm throughout the seasons.

For added efficiency, our heat pump swimming pool heaters are tailored to the size of your pool, which will reduce heat wastage, and help your heating system to work even more efficiently. If you think that a heat pump heater could be just what you have been looking for, why not take a closer look at The Swimming Pool Store online shop to view our heaters in more detail?

In the summer, there is nothing better than taking a leisurely swim in the cool swimming pool located in your very own back garden, and unlike any other feature in your garden it cements the fact that summer has officially arrived. Yet, if you want a crystal clear swimming pool, devoid of bugs and bacteria, then you need to use swimming pool chemicals that stop germs from passing from one swimmer to the next. To help you keep your swimming pool looking fantastic all year round, we at The Swimming Pool Store have devised some top tips on how to use swimming pool chemicals properly.

Swimming pool chemicals are very effective at destroying bacteria in the water of a pool, yet the potency of such products require subsequent care and due diligence when homeowners come to handle them. To ensure your clean pool doesn’t come at a cost to your health, we have listed some handy little tips for you to follow below.

Tip One: Handle with Care

The chemicals used to clear a pool of bacteria and unwanted organisms can be hazardous to your health, which is why you should always handle the products with care. When it comes to opening the chemicals, you should do so with care to ensure that nothing is spilt onto you. Furthermore, you should store the chemicals in a clean, dry place where your children and pets cannot reach them.

Tip Two: Product Instructions

All of the chemicals which we supply here at The Swimming Pool Store will come with a full product guide which lists important information on how much you should use, where to store it and what you should do if your skin comes into contact with the chemical. You should read this thoroughly before using the chemicals so that you know exactly how much to use and what to do should you get the chemical on your skin or in your eyes.

Pool equipment Oxford can harbour harmful germs that could pose a real risk to your health if they are left to grow. It is for this reason that you should get in touch with us at The Swimming Pool Store to discuss the various types of swimming pool chemicals we have available.

A hot tub will make a great addition to any home that can set your gatherings apart from everyone else’s or allow you a place to truly relax and wind down in the evenings. However, this won’t last long unless you invest in the right hot tub chemicals to ensure it is a safe and hygienic place to spend your time. Often prices of these necessary chemicals can ward you off, but not with us here at The Swimming Pool Store, as we provide the best for less.

Hot tub chemicals and treatments are so essential to the well-being of your hot tub and therefore your health because bacteria requires little encouragement to flourish in most environments, let alone one that is perfectly suited to its needs – these being somewhere that is damp, dark and warm, much like a hot tub filter or any pipe work that is running throughout, such as heat pumps. Without the right cleaning and maintenance chemicals, this bacterium will be able to thrive and could then cause serious harm to whoever is using the tub.

Looking after the water and components inside your hot tub will allow them to look after you and with everything easily available for quick delivery and at affordable prices in our online shop, there is no reason whatsoever to neglect the health of your hot tub.

Our range of hot tub chemicals which includes everything from Fi-Clor chlorine tablets to surface cleaner will ensure that the hygiene levels of your hot tub are at their very highest and with prices that are all lower than those you might find elsewhere (just take Fi-Clor 1 litre surface cleaner: RRP £32.30 against our price of £24.57), your wallet will also be at its happiest. To speak to one of our experts to find out information on the best chemicals for your specific hot tub and usage needs, call us on 01494 483 652.

It may be cold outside, but if you enjoy swimming and want to embrace your outdoor swimming pool regardless of the time of year, then swimming pool heaters are the perfect answer. They warm up the water so that you can take a leisurely dip whenever the occasion takes your fancy, and the range of electric heaters found here at The Swimming Pool Store are by far the most popular type of swimming pool heating systems available today. To find out for yourself how an electric swimming pool heater warms your pool, continue reading.

Swimming pool heaters are fantastic, they can easily be installed into your swimming pool and with a flick of a switch your pool can be lovely and cosy, regardless of whether it’s ice-cold and snowing outside; but how do these heat pumps work? We explain.

How Do They Work?

Electric heat pumps work like an air conditioning unit, in that they take warm air from outside and use the energy found in the outdoor atmosphere to heat the air. This is then pumped into your pool to warm it through.

It is this method of upgrading the energy already in the atmosphere that allows this particular swimming pool heater to be energy efficient. This is one of the reasons why this particular model is favoured by homeowners across the UK, as it cuts down on running costs.

If you are lucky enough to have a hot tub at home, then you will understand the importance of maintaining it to ensure that it is ready to be used throughout the year. Hot tub chemicals from the Swimming Pool Store are a simple yet effective way to keep your spa water clear and enjoy a clean and welcoming hot tub. Rainy afternoons and cold winter evenings offer the perfect opportunities to make the most of your hot tub, so it could be time to invest in some high-quality chemicals from the leading manufacturers.

A hot tub can make a cosy home for a number of bugs and bacteria which could be harmful to your health. These bugs are particularly fond of dark and warm places, such as your hot tub filter or the pipes leading to your tub. Not taking sufficient care of the water in your hot tub could also cause it to become cloudy and murky, which never makes for a welcoming place to spend an hour or two. A filter cartridge cleaner, such as Fi-Clor Spa Cartridge cleaner, can help to keep your water clear and inviting. When a build-up of minerals and grease leaves your spa water cloudy, Fi-Clor Spa Water Clarifier can return your hot tub to its best.

Cleaning your spa features three essential stages which are vital to ensure that your hot tub water is always healthy. When starting up your spa after a long period, for example during the winter when you leave your outdoor pool behind and head indoors to the spa, shock chlorination should be carried out to clean every part of the system. The circulation and filtration system consists of a pump and filter which needs to be maintained to keep your hot tub working effectively, whilst an effective chemical treatment regime including regular treatments with hot tub chemicals can help to extend the life of your spa and pool equipment Oxford by keeping it in top condition.

To keep your hot tub in top condition throughout the winter, invest in the highest quality hot tub chemicals available from the Swimming Pool Store.

Swimming is a recreational sport that many of us enjoy, whether it’s at the public leisure centre or in your own back garden. To reduce the risk of infection and the spread of disease, there are certain measures that as the owner of the pool, you need to consider. A key component in maintaining high hygiene levels is with the use of swimming pool chemicals - they can be used to fight bacteria and sanitise the pool so that it is safe for everyone who decides to take a swim. However, there are a few guidelines that you need to follow to ensure that you and the users of your pool remain safe at all times.

As professional suppliers of swimming pool chemicals, pool equipment Oxford and accessories, we at The Swimming Pool Store have a wealth of knowledge surrounding the safe handling of chemicals like chlorine and bromine. We also appreciate the need for these chemicals, as without them there would be an unsafe level of bacteria growth within the pool itself, which in the past has led to the spread of legionnaires disease.

Manufacturers Guidelines

When used correctly, swimming pool chemicals are very effective at killing any harmful organisms which find themselves in your pool. However, as with other chemicals, you need to follow manufacturers’ guidelines. The simple reason for this is that, although you may want to destroy any harmful organisms in your pool, you do not want the environment to be harmful any users.

Additional Considerations

There are certain variables which can affect the amount of swimming pool chemicals you will need, and these generally focus on the production of by-products, which arise when the chemical reacts to organic matter, such as sweat and urine.

As specialist suppliers of swimming pool chemicals we at The Swimming Pool Store are always happy to offer our expert opinion to those who seek it, all you need to do is call us directly on 01494 483 652.
