By continuing to maintain the pool chemistry, you can effectively protect your pool and prevent algae growth. Our AquaPure Winterising Kit offers three simple and effective products to help with this process.<\/p>\n<p>If your pool equipment is fitted correctly to your pool size, it will take around four hours to turn all the water over in the pool. In summer this needs to happen twice a day, but in winter it only needs to happen once a day.<\/p>\n<p>Want to enjoy swimming all year round?
