About Spa Pool News
About us
Spa Pool News (pool-spa-sauna.com) is an independent European advisory and directory portal about pools, hot tubs and saunas. We write for owners and for people who are still deciding whether to buy — every article should genuinely help with a decision, day-to-day operation, or a specific problem.
Who runs this site
The portal is published by LINLINE SE, Company ID (IČO) 05944210, registered office at Antala Staška 1859/34, Krč, 140 00 Praha 4, Czech Republic. The editorial team runs Spa Pool News; the contact address is redakce@pool-spa-sauna.com.
Why we started
We were missing a source that combines three things at once: clear step-by-step guides, an overview of companies, and a fast route to an offer. That’s why Spa Pool News rests on three pillars:
- An independent guide — step-by-step instructions with concrete values (pH 7.0–7.4, temperatures in °C, prices, consumption in kWh), for example a weekly pool maintenance plan or what to do about green pool water.
- A company directory at the company catalogue — an overview of suppliers and service companies where we verify basic details.
- Requests at the request form — one form to compare offers from several companies instead of phoning around.
How editorial content is made
Articles are prepared by the editorial team based on hands-on experience, applicable standards and manufacturer recommendations. We state concrete figures, procedures and value ranges, not marketing phrases. We regularly review content so prices, consumption figures and recommendations stay current. On technical topics (e.g. sizing a pool heat pump or sand filtration) we start from real-world operation, including specific practices in the Czech market where relevant.
How we verify company profiles
For companies in the directory, we check traceable identification details (company registration number and the entity’s existence in public registers) and basic contact information. A profile is not our recommendation of a specific company — it is background information you use to make your own choice.
How we differ from webshops and affiliate comparison sites
We don’t sell anything and we don’t live off click-through commissions to webshops. Our product is unbiased information and a fair connection between a request and a supplier, not specific goods. That’s why we’ll also tell you what suits no seller — for example, that you can solve a problem yourself, or that a purchase isn’t worth it.
Editorial principles
- Independence — we don’t create content to order for suppliers, and we don’t tailor recommendations to advertisers.
- Separation of editorial and paid content — commercial communications (paid profiles, PR, partnerships) are always clearly labelled and kept separate from editorial recommendations.
- Verifiability — we write specifically and back figures with practice and standards; when we’re not sure, we say so.
- Feedback — if you find an inaccuracy, write to us at redakce@pool-spa-sauna.com and we’ll gladly correct it.
