The federation of pool professionals denounces a campaign that brings the sector into "disrepute" The sale of above ground pools has been banned in the Pyrénées-Orientales department, due to drought. The use of water, apart from drinking water, is also restricted: filling your swimming pool, washing your car or watering your garden is prohibited.
According to the Minister of Ecological Transition, Christophe Béchu, this ban aims to avoid "having people who buy swimming pools and then have the temptation to fill them"
