The cost of living is in the news every day now, and with good reason.

It’s getting increasingly expensive to do all the necessary day-to-day things everyone needs to do.

This is not only affecting every one of your stores, but it is also massively affecting your customers. Meaning that in some extreme cases, they have resorted to turning off parts of their aquatic set-ups completely as they use too much energy!
