Queensland weather is an unpredictable beast. One year on from the February floods, that’s a reality many Queenslanders know too well. We’ve entered the wettest period of the year.

If you live in an area that’s prone to flooding, this can be a real issue. But we’re here to help!

With these 4 tips, you can keep your pool in great shape during the wet weather and ensure that it stays clean and clear.
