There are many homes as well as hotels and resorts on Koh <strong>Samui</strong> and Koh<br />

<strong>Phangan</strong> that have their own private pools, be they large or small.<br />

environment.<br />

If you’ve owned a pool for any length of time, it’s quite<br />

likely you’ve had to deal with the occasional flair-up of<br />

algae or other pool contaminant (that’s not the green<br />

for maintenance…or is it?<br />

more balance between enjoying your pool and keeping<br />

our environment healthy as can be.
