Hello and welcome to MyPoolGuru  Newsletter #2

Thanks for all the kind comments about our site - it's lovely to get so much positive feedback

I'm all grown up now and can take negative feedback also, so if you spot anything wrong with the site like broken links, missing images, spellin erreurs or the like, please let me know

We've made the house-move back to Alhaurin el Grande (5 house moves in 6 months! - I'm calling the Guinness Book of Records right now . . .) and we are firmly back in harness, writing new articles for the MyPoolGuru site and adding a few whistles and bells to it

The first Big news is that our long-suffering Webmaster (Russell of Mint Micro) has successfully incorporated some excellent translation software into the site and MyPoolGuru is now available in some 40 languages. So, if you know anyone who only speaks Haitian Creole, Lithuanian or Hmong Daw - please let them know!

The second Big News - AngloINFO have asked me to become a regular Blogger on their Spain sites. So I'll get onto that rapid - honest!

The third Big News . . . . well, I'll tell you that in the next Newsletter - if all goes well

Routine Maintenance - Keep a firm control of the pool chemistry. Test pH and Free Chlorine regularly and vacuum at least once a week. Write everything you do to the pool in your Pool Logbook

Other than that, there is little to do at this late stage in the season so enjoy the pool while it is still warm enough to get into because in a few weeks it will be too cold. A pool cover will extend the season for around 6 weeks but after that the water will be too chilly for any except the hardiest of swimmers

If you're contemplating fitting a Pool Heater for this coming winter the time to install it is right now, before the pool (and the pool structure) cools down. That way, you won't have to pay to warm it up again

What with the move and everything I have managed only a couple of additions to the site content this week: -

Under 'Types of Pools'  I have added Swim Spas page

and also beefed up the Circulation Systems page

We supply all plant and equipment featured on this website, including what you see on this page.

Hello, and welcome to MyPoolGuru Newsletter #1

We've seen the hottest of the summer weather (with any luck!) and the pool is now just the right temperature. However, in a few short weeks it will start to cool down unless you own, and use, a pool cover

Covering the pool reduces evaporation to next-to-nothing and evaporation is where 90-95% of the heat is lost from the pool. Reduce evaporation and the pool will remain warm much longer

It's not only at night that a cover brings benefits - keep it on all the time that you're not actually in the pool and you'll notice a big difference in water temperature

Routine Maintenance for the coming month is much the same as in August - test the pH and sanitizer level regularly; adjust as required. You might find you use a bit less Chlorine now the Grand-children have gone home and they're no longer peeing in the pool . . . . Bless 'em!

I've been busy over the last couple of weeks, writing and adding new articles: -

Financing Pool Safety Equipment - how to pay for a Safety Barrier when you're broke

DIY Katchakid - about as 'affordable' as 100% Pool Safety gets

CPR Courses - low-cost (or sometimes even free!) Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation Courses near you

Holidays and New Homes with pools - the first few minutes with a new pool can be deadly for Kids

Pool Safety Checklist - 5 minutes well invested when you get to your Holiday Villa-with-pool

Pool Games for Kids - fun for all

Pool Rules for Adults - sensible guidelines for keeping the kids safe at the pool

Chemical Accidents - what to do in an Emergency

Pool Rules for Kids - rules that kids can understand

Worldwide Emergency Numbers - because it's not always always '999'

Safety Liability - your legal obligations and responsibilities as a pool-owner

Swimming Lessons - teach the tiddlers to swim and/or learn yourself 

Thanks to everyone for joining us. We now have over 160 different subjects covered on the MyPoolGuru site - with many more to come!

If there's some subject that you would like to know more about right now please let me know and I'll do my best to write about it

Having said that; we're moving house again this week (for the 5th time this year!) so I might not get around to it for a few days

We supply all plant and equipment featured on this website, including what you see on this page.
