Erik

Erik first immersed himself in the wet leisure industry working as a dive instructor in Thailand in 2009. The following year, he crossed the seas to the Bahamas where, once again, he taught the art of diving in Nassau and the Cayman Islands until moving to the UK in 2015.

Away from the 30 degree, crystal clear waters of the Caribbean, Erik took to the slightly cooler, but equally sparkling environment of the British swimming pool industry where he uses his original background as an electrical engineer to advise on pumps, filtration and pool controls.


Paul

With a background in electrical engineering and property maintenance, Paul is well qualified to advise on a broad range of subjects related to swimming pool ownership and upkeep.

A keen swimmer himself, Paul will go to any lengths to find the right advice for people who want to get the most fun and enjoyment from their pool.
