"It really is tempting to place your share into hibernation mode during winter season, but that can result in untold issues. Once the weather condition warms up-and the sun hits the share liquid, it reacts aided by the algae, which can rapidly bloom out of control.

"a defectively maintained swimming pool can harbour a variety of microbes including algae and micro-organisms, which could cause health conditions eg ear, nose and throat infections. But don't panic! Pool algae is very easy to kill and get a grip on."
