known that standard probes cannot read free chlorine / combined chlorine with an electrolysis system on an ongoing basis. Therefore automation to European standards for public pools with saline systems up to now, has not been possible. However, Pooltronix found a way and patented it.
The Pooltronix system reads free chlorine, combined chlorine, detects chloramines and destroys them.
PLASTIPACK ROLLS OUT ITS COVER MATERIALS
Plastipack, the specialist manufacturer of swimming pool and water storage cover materials sold in roll form will have a new cover on show. The East Sussex business has a strong European export base for its materials which are in demand for both energy and resource saving options. It has invested substantially in new product development and uses events such as Piscina to introduce new covers and materials to the industry. Plastipack sells its range of pool cover materials in roll form to fabricators who then produce the commercial and domestic covers. The business continues to add to its product range which already includes EnergyGuard which can eliminate water evaporation by 98% and prevent algae build up, CoolGuard and winter covers. Plastipack already has a strong European export base for its high quality bubble materials. France is a substantial market but Spain is also significant as it promotes its variety of finishes.
ITS EUROPE SHOW OFF NEW PHOTOMETER Industrial Test Systems (ITS) will have its revolutionary eXact® Micro 10 photometer available at Piscina – a product that offers faster, safer, easier and more precise water testing. The eXact Micro 10 offers 10 modes which provide direct read capabilities for combined chlorine, free chlorine, total chlorine, cyanuric acid, total alkalinity, ozone, calcium hardness, phosphate, ph, chloride/salt, and % Transmission which allows for testing of additional parameters. The eXact® Micro 10 is the first meter to read combined chlorine directly with 0.01 precision and no maths required!
In transmission mode, the unit reads 30 additional parameters with the use of a conversion table.
ITS is the international division of Industrial Test Systems, a manufacturer of
instruments designed to test water quality parameters.
CERTIKIN PLAN TO WOW BARCELONA! Certikin will again have a major presence at the Barcelona show.
The stand will feature an impressive selection of products including filters, pumps, pool cleaners and salt chlorinators.
Certikin’s International Business Manager, Jo Ainsworth, says: “The Barcelona exhibition is a very important business event for us. The show allows us to meet many of our export customers and is an excellent opportunity to show them our latest products.”
EURO THEME FOR ALIGATOR SYSTEM David Dunn’s experience of showing his Aligator swimming pool purification system to a wider European market was such a success first time round that he will be back at the Barcelona show with even more enthusiasm.
“The mainland European weather being warmer I think suits a system such as ours even better than the UK,” he said.
“We had a really great response to the product in Lyon last year and taking it to Barcelona was an obvious move.”
The Aligator system reduces chemical usage by up to 80% and David says the success he has had with the ionisation system indicates more people than ever are looking for an alternative cleansing pool system which is friendlier to allergy sufferers. The Aligator system works by combining natural elements such as silver, copper and zinc to reduce chlorine related skin rashes, eye sores, asthma and bleached hair.
AEGEAN PUTS EUROPEAN SHOWS AS WORLD’S NO.1
The big autumn European pool and spa shows are the most important in the world. That’s the view of Stephen Weller from Aegean Spas: “For Aegean, the Lyon and Barcelona shows are now the most important pool and spa shows as they showcase the very latest technology and design from throughout the industry attracting buyers from all the main markets, except the USA – although there are always French Canadians at European shows – as well as the Chinese to see what they can try and copy!
“Barcelona is not to be missed and our profile is going to be very much on our new 2011 ranges and models along with the latest line up of Michael Phelps Signature swim spas by Master Spas.”
THERMALEC ADDS TO UV PROFILE AT SHOW
Thermalec Products will be one of a number of companies putting special emphasis on UV systems at the Barcelona show. Meddings Thermalec act as export agents for Topline and the company will feature UV systems and chemical dosing products, all sold under the Thermalec name.

ARTESIAN PUTS EMPHASIS ON GARDEN SPA RANGE
Artesian’s new Garden Spa range, a line of one and two seater hot tubs will have pride of place in Barcelona. The range is ideal for anyone wanting high quality spas for a small space or in a garden with limited access. Artesian believe it is something of a first and will have a role to play in the European market.
“We’ll be taking our best known spas out to Barcleona. The 2011 products still have a lot of mileage for us,” said a company spokesman. “We are also there to see our European agents.” Artesian Spas also produce the TidalFit exercise pool which is available with a variety of swim jet and hydrotherapy options.
The Platinum and Platinum Elite ranges are the company’s most upper-end lines, and there is no comparison in the marketplace.
BIO-DEGRADABLE SOLUTION FOR ENERGY SAVING
Heatsavr, the bio-degradable liquid which forms a transparent monomolecular layer over the surface of a swimming pool, will be on show in Barcelona to an increasingly impressed European market.
The Heatsavr liquid layer reduces evaporation, saving on water heating but with indoor pools can significantly reduce the cost of humidity control and air heating. An automatic dosing system ensures the correct dose of Heatsavr is added at the same time each day.
For over 50 years, scientists have known that a monolayer spread across the surface of a liquid can reduce evaporation and energy loss, but until Flexible Solutions developed their patented Heatsavr, over 16 years ago, no one was able to make a monolayer spread reliably and inexpensively or re-group effectively after the water had been disturbed.
Bob White, Managing Director of Heatsaver Ltd, the UK distributors, says Heatsavr is a fully automatic cover which unlike a conventional automatic cover, doesn’t have to be removed before swimming. spn
