HEATSAVR LIQUID TECHNOLOGY OFFERS LARGER WATER SAVINGS
Technology used successfully as a liquid pool cover in UK swimming pools is about to be used on a larger scale in reservoirs.
EASYTANK SALES RISE AS WATER LEVELS DROP
One solution to beating the hosepipe ban before it was put in place was opted for by many savvy pool companies who purchased an Aquaflex Easytank, allowing them to store water that could then be drawn off as and when needed without breaking the ban. Easytank comes in three sizes holding 450 gallons, 3,000 gallons and 5,000 gallons respectively. With or without a drought Easytank is a great help to all companies who
require temporary water storage on site and those who are mindful of the rising cost of water. Pool professionals who regularly use Easytank say that the outlay is swiftly recouped due to significant time saving on site plus a major reduction in water wastage.

Heatsavr has been successfully used in the specialist trade for the past nine years to reduce evaporation and heat loss on swimming pools but the technology has yet to be employed on a larger scale in Britain. For water companies the cost of conserving water this way should be directly offset by the cost of extraction and for owners of commercial irrigation reservoirs this would be particularly cost effective since the value of water saved should comfortably exceed the cost of acquisition.

The Aquaterr Disabled Access Platform, designed and manufactured by F T Leisure Limited, is a hydraulically powered lifting platform which is unobtrusively incorporated into a section of the pool surround; it is designed to lower and raise bathers in and out of the water safely and discreetly under the care of an attendant. The main structure of the platform is high-grade stainless steel which is covered with high-density polyethylene incorporating various safety markings and non-slip finishes. Inside, the structure houses buoyancy
units providing sufficient lift (or load) to accept the weight of a fully laden wheelchair. Remote to the platform, there is a single hydraulic cylinder connected to the platform structure via stainless steel cables and pulleys. On the pool surround, there are simple controls for the operation of the platform; these are carefully positioned within three metres of the platform to ensure that the attendant remains in position throughout the lifting/raising procedure. The entire operation only takes 1 minute. The controls are operated by means of a
pressure sensitive switch which stops when pressure is released. As a precautionary measure, the controls also include a key-switch to prevent unauthorised use.
The Aquaterr Disabled Platform is already being successfully used in a
number of authority pool projects around the UK.

mechanised floating spreaders driven by solar power.
The product has the potential to cut evaporation water loss from UK reservoirs by significant and worthwhile measures at any time, let alone in times of drought.
Heatsavr is a relevant product for drought time generally as it reduces evaporation from the surface of the pool.
Said Bob White from Heatsavr: “This sister product to Heatsavr has the same active ingredient as Heatsavr and can be used on large reservoirs where it reduces evaporation by up to 40%. “Watersavr hasn’t really been an appropriate product for the UK (up till now that is), but we have decided that it may be worth ‘testing the water’ with it,” he said.
