Sun sand filters and wasps in the pool

In every pool you should have some type of filtering system, the most common being sand filterisation. The sand filter act like the kidneys of the human body, filtering out all the bad stuff leaving behind clean clear water.  The sand in the filter should be changed around every 3 years to ensure proper function. On a monthly basis it wont hurt to pour some liquid P.H. minus into the filter to rid the sand of calcium and other minerals. There is a danger that if left untreated for a long while, the sand can become solid at the bottom. There are very fine filters at the bottom of the sand filter, that if they become clogged can impair the function of the filter, leading to all types of problems,cracking lids, leaking, and somtimes explosion. Remember that your filter is under a lot of pressure and it needs to be looked after properly.  If you dont, then you could face buying a replacement that can be very costly.
Heres a tip for people suffering from WASPS in and around the POOL.
Take an empty squeezy bottle, pour a little washing up liquid into it, then top up with water.  During the day, look to see where the WASPS land the most and lightly squirt the area of the pool with the mixture. The WASPS will drown and after a few days they will be wiped out. For more info, get in touch. Adios, Octopussy.
