ULTIMATE QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILTER CARTRIDGES There is now a new quick reference guide for pool and spa filter cartridges.
Plastica has developed the ultimate quick reference guide to help the pool and spa trade to save time working out which cartridges are compatible.
Cale Sinfield, Customer Services and Marketing Manager at Plastica, said: “We want to help pool and spa shops to be able to cross-reference the filter cartridges quickly for Unicel and Filbur with Pleatco. You can search by product size, code and filter manufacturer.”
Plastica is an approved UK distributor for Pleatco Cartridges. The quick reference guide also provides tips on how to identify your filter cartridge easily. Pleatco cartridges use Reemay Filtration Media and Microban® antimicrobial protection to filter out contaminants and inhibit bacteria growth continuously, for the lifetime of your cartridge. Pleatco are the only filter cartridges to harness this technology in both the media and end cap. The Pleatco catalogue and quick reference guide is free to the trade. It can be requested by calling 01424 857802, emailing

FIRST ROBOT CLEANER PATENTED WITH VORTEX TECHNOLOGY Zodiac Pool Care Europe completes its Vortex electronic robot cleaners range with the arrival of its four-wheel drive robot to the market. The four-wheel drive means more efficient treatment of the pool, a better manoeuvring of obstacles, and better traction on any type of floor, and faster cleaning.
The model is equipped with a series upgrade, available also in the Vortex 3 and
This electronic robot is recommended for all pools of up to 12 metres x 6 metres, especially those with irregular shapes. And of course it offers the same advantages as the previous models, a unique design with a high-capacity filter tray, easy to access and maintain, dual safety and electronic protection for the motor, with a 20-second automatic cut-off in case of obstruction or if it is no longer in the water, a floating anti-twist cable, a two year warranty and, above all, cyclonic suction power, constant and unmatched. The model is the first robot patented with Vortex technology, a powerful and continuous cyclonic suction throughout the cleaning cycle. The Vortex Effect creates a powerful whirlpool inside the filter. The debris remains in suspension avoiding the filter becoming clogged. SEE US ON STAND L106
breakdown is caused by the corrosive environment the material is placed in. Although the environment cannot be changed the product design can be improved! By eliminating weak and thin points an optimum bubble shape was developed. This synergy between academic and industrial knowledge enabled us to develop the best swimming pool cover possible. Along with the bubble design our research has also gone into the use of the best additives, stabilisers and anti-oxidant package, with the aim to provide the best performing and longest lasting swimming pool bubble cover on offer. Plastipack Ltd is a specialist independent manufacturer of swimming pool and water storage cover materials with customers in over 25 countries. SEE US ON STAND U100

PLASTIPACK’S GEOBUBBLE TECHNOLOGY
Plastipack’s new bubble shape is designed to increase the expected lifespan of swimming pool bubble cover material by 25%. Launched at the Aquanale and Piscina 2011 trade exhibitions GeoBubble technology is for use in swimming pools and sets a new benchmark for all other swimming pool cover materials.
GeoBubble technology lasts longer as it has been developed to be more resistant to ultraviolet light and chemical attack which leads to premature failure in the traditional bubble shape. Combined with the high performance Guard materials it will give a longer lasting cover with the highest energy and resource saving efficiencies available. Research and development conducted over five years period established the key element of material
