AQUAMAID’S”
HANDY HINTS
PLANTS FOR POOLS
Clogged filters are the bane of
every pool owner’s summer.
Where nearby trees continually
shed leaves, there is little that can
be done to ease the burden. A
request to the council to have
offending trees removed usually
fall on deaf ears, especially where
the trees predate the pool.
Windblown leaves can be reduced
when tall hedges or shrubs are
installed as a buffer. Space, of
course, is essential. Where it is
limited, screens constructed of
lattice or similar can be effective.
When selecting plants for around
the pool, it is a common mistake to
choose evergreens rather than
deciduous species in the belief that
they do not lose leaves. While
deciduous plants have a period of
massive leaf drops (usually
autumn), they rarely shed leaves
during spring & summer –
The period when the pool is likely
to be most enjoyed. It could be
covered in autumn/winter.
Evergreen species usually shed
some
leaves
continuously.
Eucalypts and casuarinas are
renowned for the quantity they
shed. Bamboos, so striking near
water, are similarly prolific leaf
droppers. Species with masses of
small flowers or fruit, such as
berries, should also be avoided.
Bold foliaged plants not only look
terrific beside water, they produce
wonderful reflections from their
large, sculptured leaves. It is far
easier to remove them from the
pool than small leaves. For this
reason, palms & “tropical-looking”
species are wise choices.

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Remember … the bitterness of
poor quality remains long after the
sweetness of the low price has
faded.
PRODUCT OF THE MONTH
Pool blocks …are the world leaders
in slow release solid algicides using
natural trace element blended with
essential nutrients to control algae.
Including
blackspot
&
mustard
algae in fibreglass, vinyl liner and
concrete swimming pools.
Simply add one pool block to the leaf
basket in the skimmer box where the
pool block slowly dissolve, treating the
water of an average 50,000 litre size
pool for up to five months against
algae growth, substantially reducing
the amount of chlorine needed in your
pool.
Your water sparkles with
exceptional clarity compared to all
other treatments.
You save money on chlorine and get
better results as pools can’t suddenly
turn green and you eliminate
ever
persistent algae like blackspot on
walls, steps or around rock waterfalls
that chlorine can’t fix.
Pool Blocks … store for years at full
strength and only become active when
dissolved in the water keeping your
pool clean with less vacuuming,
filtering or salt chlorination which
saves
electricity
and
makes
maintenance a breeze.
“IAN’S HINTS”
When you backwash your filter run the
top up water into the skimmer box.
This means you are not wasting all
your salt.

WATER SAVING TIPS
1. Cover your pool & Spa.
2. Replace washers in leaky
taps.
3. Install inexpensive water
saving devices to taps and
showers.
4. Install tap timers.
5. Collect
water
in
a
rainwater tank and use in
gardening.
6. Match washing machine
water settings to the size
load.
7. Wash your car over the
lawn so it gets watered
too.
8. Instead of rinsing under
running water, part fill the
sink.
9. A timed, soaking water for
your garden once a week
will give better results than
a quick water 3 times a
week.
10. Set an example for your
children, turn the tap off
when brushing your teeth.

SALT
CHLORINATION
VERSUS
CHEMICALS
There are several reasons
why Aquamaid natural
pool chlorination is better
than
using
chlorine
chemical.
 Economical - There’s
a complete saving on the
cost of chlorine chemicals.
 Fast - Aquamaid is
chlorinating your pool/spa
While the pump is running.
 Safe – Aquamaid uses
natural
salt
a
non
hazardous chemical.
 Healthy - The mild
antiseptic properties of salt
chlorinated water helps to
eliminate sore eyes & ears
and soothes many skin
conditions.
 Clean - The water is
crystal clear
as
the
electrolytic cell removes
unwanted chemicals such
as calcium, copper and
other heavy metals.
 Simple – The
Aquamaid Salt Chlorinator
operates from the home
power supply and can be
left unattended for weeks.
