IN REACTION TO THE CORONA VIRUS – COVID – 19
First and foremost, our sympathies go out to the victims of COVID-19. Our biggest priority is the health and safety of our employees and all our customers.
DURING THIS TIME, WE HAVE “TEMPORARILY” ALTERED A FEW OF OUR EXISTING SERVICES TO ENSURE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR CUSTOMERS AS A TOP PRIORITY.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF ZERO CONTACT PRODUCT SHOPPING AND ZERO CONTACT SERVICES AND PROCEDURES.
Although we love seeing our customers in the store, until the Coronavirus scare has become less of a public safety threat, and for the health and safety of our staff and customers, we are encouraging the use of our online business services which eliminate social contact while still fulfilling the needs of our customers. We understand the fear and anxieties that COVID-19 has created around social encounters and being in public which increases the risk of exposure. We also understand that it is important for you to continue to look after your Pool and Spa equipment and water maintenance to ensure safety to both your bathers and your equipment.

Advice for the backyard adventurers
Luckily for all of us, our backyard pools / hot tubs are still a safe haven for us and our families. However, pool owners tend to be a popular neighbor/friend and social gathering place. Having said that, it is advisable that larger social gatherings around the pool this season may want to be avoided until the COVID-19 outbreak is declared under control by public health officials. Keep your backyard oasis a safe environment for you and your family this season so that you can obtain many hours and days of safe enjoyment while still being within your home.
From all of us at Mermaid Pools, we wish all of you safety and health during this time. Be safe!
