I would think again, its a flooded market at least it is on C D S, nearly as many pool cleaners as barkeepers.

I can offer you an alternative business (still the pool industry) in an area which isn't 'flooded'. More than that, there is really no serious competitors at all. If you are interested to learn more then PM me.

I have a couple of distributors now but I need a lot to cover Spain.

The product comes From Australia and deals with water quality.

Theres a good living if you do the work.

Pool cleaner/estate agent/builder/handyman/airport runs, in fact anything you think of will already be done a 1,000 times over by brits, many people are returning to u.k as not enough work.

This may be something of a Doomsday scenario but unless there is significant rainfall in southern Spain this winter it is quite possible that there will be no pools to clean next summer because it will become illegal to fill them or to keep them topped up.

Very unlikely though, this year was the worst drought levels ever, but I dont think there were any cuts, or was there ?
They should start the cuts on the golf courses first ;) ;)

well kind of..... I play golf but I also understand the amount of water to keep the greens alive, My question would be do we need this many golf courses ?

People spent 900 million € on Golf in the Malaga area alone.
That is why there are soooo many built, and of course (no pun) they still own the land. :)
