Winterising OCT 2011 SPN

ABOVE LEFT: Relax with pool and spa winter chemicals from Plastica
ABOVE: Above-ground pools also need a level of winter care and should be treated similarly to that of an in-ground pool. This pool has been winterised and covered with an Aquaflex above-ground debris cover
Winterlong is a copper based long life algaecide. Copper based formulations have the advantage of remaining active for extended periods; even during the mildest of winters. Winterlong should keep pool water clear until spring and is entirely compatible with both tiled and liner pools. Copper based algaecides and winterisers should never be used on marbelite pools.
Cleaner Winter, Plastica’s most popular winteriser is a non-copper based formulation. Not just an algaecide, Cleaner Winter includes a stain inhibitor to minimise the damage to pool surfaces from leaves and debris that find their way into the pool over the winter months. The 5ltr container of Cleaner Winter is popular for retail showrooms.
Cleaner Winter is also available as a concentrate in both half and one litre containers. One litre of concentrate treats the same amount of pool water (10,000 gallons) as a 5ltr retail pack of Cleaner Winter. The concentrated formulation has proven particularly popular with pool service engineers.

SECURE WINTER PROTECTION FROM AQUAFLEX
Aquaflex’s winter debris covers offer the perfect solution to keeping leaves and other unwanted items out of the pool whilst shielding the pool water, liner etc. from what, even in the winter,
can be damaging UV rays from the sun. Made from specially formulated, durable polypropylene, Aquaflex winter debris covers are available in green/black or blue/black mesh fabric. This tight mesh allows rainwater to pass through but keeps the pool water crystal clear. There are two types of debris cover available from Aquaflex; The Emperor and The Sovereign, both of which are supplied with a storage bag and a three year pro rata guarantee.
All covers can be manufactured to
accommodate ladders etc. intruding into the pool as well as steps sections outside the pool. All varieties of shape and size can be supplied, with standard sizes generally available from stock. All of the covers are made 1’0” (0.30m) larger than the pool all round (i.e. add 2’0” (0.60m) to the width and length of the pool to calculate the cover size.
