April 2008
We were at the Alicante 'Homes & Gardens' Expo 4th, 5th. and 6th.
Both Mark & Myself were kept very busy meeting customers both old and new to discuss all aspects of the different methods of maintaining their swimming pools.
For more information on the topics below click on the light blue underlined writing
The theme of enquiries was pool heating, the different methods and how they compared, overall it has to be said that the AngelFire Heatpump was well received with it's compact size, simple but high tech design for simplicity and reliability providing the same energy output as unit half as big again.
The other main topic was pool sanitising, something that we as a company regard as our main object - fueled by the fact that in a survey in Florida or 100 pools 95% were found to be unfit to swim in.
This is mainly due to poor control of the water balance and in particular pH and too much Chlorine stabiliser - The problems we have is a lack of understanding just how much is enough and how it get's into the pool.
Chlorine stabiliser is dispensed into the pool everytime we use a multi-chemical tablet 3in1 ~ 5in1 etc. what should happen is that we use unstabilised chlorine for a period to prevent too much building up in the pool.
In Spanish Public Pools they are required to change 5% of the pool water on a daily basis to ensure water balance is maintained - At home we can manage without such drastic measures - Need more Info

July 2008
Over the past couple of years there has been a marked increase in the number of
pool owners who have become concerned over the amount of chemicals being put in
their pool, some with the labels like these:
Saltwater system from Watermaid have been increasing in sales throughout Europe
and enable the informed pool owner a far greater control over what chemicals are
in the pool
However some customers have been looking at Ionisation systems, these are not new and we have been looking into them and researching what actually works - not all systems are the same.
It is clear that most work and there are no requirements for Chlorine at all (not all systems are chlorine free)
We have therefore decided to included a chosen Ionisation/Oxidation system in our product line-up full information is available here:
