Swimming pools for every budget
Where I grew up in South Africa almost two out of every three homes had a swimming pool. Most of them were outdoor pools but then the weather was predictable and hot for many months of the year. I have, however, been pleasantly surprised recently to see how many swimming pools, hot tubs and spa pools are being installed in UK homes.
Even in tropical climes, swimming pools still need heating. Without heating you could expect to use an outdoor pool for two to three months of the year and with heating maybe eight months a year. Given that our sunshine is a little less predictable than most countries, we need heating even in the warmest months.
No matter
