The costs of running a swimming pool in Italy are high in our opinion. That's for all sorts of things from the winter cover to nets and brushes to clean with, but the COST OF CHEMICALS HAS INCREASED BY 75% IN 4 YEARS. We do shop around and ask friends what they pay but when trying to keep our summer rental prices as low as possible, such an increase hits the bank balance.

The best investment we ever made to keep the swimming pool clean when we were living in Australia was a "Kreepy Krauly". Absolutely fantastic!
Kreepy Krauly
I think that it is sold in Europe as well, although it comes from South Africa.
