maintenance and extending the life of the main filter unit. In addition a full range of high quality Great Barrier filter cartridge elements are also available plus a competitively priced range of standard elements for popular hot tub brands. Desjoyaux has just launched a new pool filter cartridge that extends the filter cleaning interval for up to two months. Tests carried out on 200 pools show the new JD Master Filter can be used for at least two months without cleaning. This development now provides an option for owners with holiday homes who can now leave their pool unattended for long periods of time. There is a stainless steel handle to make it easier to install and remove and cleaning the filter when required is simplicity itself taking just minutes to complete.

JC Leisure Solutions are working closely with Gaffey Technical Services Ltd and their DesoPur filter media regeneration product, to considerably reduce their customer’s maintenance and annual filter servicing costs without compromising quality and also being kinder to the environment. Chief Executive Alan Lester says, “Prior to us working with Gaffey Technical Services we would carry out a full sand change or crust change on our customer’s filters. This was messy, labour intensive and time consuming. New sand media supplies, transport and waste disposal, this all added up to an expensive procedure. Using the DesoPur product we can carry out the cleansing of the filter media in half the time and at half the cost for the customer.”


Sales Director of Gaffey Technical Service, Andrew Gaffey comments, “We have been using DesoPur for filter media regeneration very successfully for almost 10 years and over the past couple of years the demand for treatment has increased substantially. If pool filters are in a generally sound physical condition, the cost, inconvenience and downtime associated with the emptying and disposal of media is completely unnecessary. A simple, safe and environmentally friendly DesoPur treatment procedure can be carried out overnight and, in most cases, without closure or disruption to the operation of the pool. The DesoPur treatment also ensures that the filter surfaces, laterals or under-drain areas are de- fouled and disinfected – something which media replacement does not address.”


“If a pool or spa filter was a person they would probably be excruciatingly boring but fantastically reliable and possess an almost inhuman ability to perform repetitive and methodical tasks”


One of the biggest impacts from the filter market for spas came earlier this year from Filters4Spas which was launched with great success at this year’s SPATEX in Brighton. Although the company has been trading for almost a year it was the impact from Brighton which announced its arrival. Filters4Spas are the exclusive distributors of the Darlly brand, the world’s largest manufacturer of cartridge filters and Reemay, the leader in web woven filter media.


The strategy for the company said Phil Moseley was to raise the profile of the Darlly brand which was used in many spas but there was often no brand name features.


“When people came to replace the filter they didn’t have a clue as to where to start looking. We’ve been very keen to get their name out there and known as it has such a great reputation as being a real quality product,” added Phil. The impact on the market has been considerable with over 9,000 filters sold. Phil added that while major wholesalers can stock a small range of filters Filters4Spas can offer a hugely wide number of options. The company now stocks 55 types of filter – a figure which is soon to increase to 70.


The initial idea was just to service Europe with the products but although overseas sales still represent 50% of the business it’s the UK which has shown itself to be very buoyant. “ I think the beauty of the Darlly product is that people are now getting to know the name and they appreciate that it is a lower price product with still great quality,” added Phil. spn
