The Federation of Pool Professionals has filed an appeal against the ban on sales of above-ground pools in the Pyrénées-Orientales. The department is the first in France to have moved almost entirely to "crisis" level.
Pool professionals are worried about an extension of this alert level, which could force them to suspend their activity on the national territory. According to the FPP, private basins account for 0.15% of annual water consumption. A 45% reduction in use in 25 years thanks to innovation (more efficient filtration, coverage of basins)
