ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRACTICES
Amongst the products that Fluidra considers to be the most sustainable within its wide product range, we would like to highlight some of them. [EN6]
Neolysis The combination in a single reactor of the UV technique with low-saline electrolysis has proven to be one solution for treating and disinfecting water in private and public pools. The Neolysis system is able to bring together the most notable characteristics and advantages each of the te- chniques have in their own right and correct their defects, disadvantages and limitations. Both the UV technique and electrolysis are known and marketed, but to date no-one had made any claims or known about the surprising results of this combination in a single reactor.
Its main features and advantages are: • There is no need to add salt to the pool shell. • High performing dual disinfection (UVC + in situ chlorine/ anodic oxidation).
• Increased capacity for removing chloramines (UVC + cathodic reduction).
• The water and energy savings make a positive contribution to sustainability. There is no longer any need for filter was- hes for the sole purpose of reducing the concentration of chloramines (<0,6ppms).
• Synergetic treatment that is extremely useful as it has an oxidising capacity with residual effects.
• Completely does away with the need to add chlorinated products (hypochlorite, chlorine tablets, etc.).
Automatic pool cleaners Using an automatic, autonomous pool cleaner makes it easier to clean the inside of a pool and re- duces the amount of maintenance work required. It also uses 20% less water in the filter cleaning process.
Cyclonic pre-filters The addition of Hydrospin Compact has extended the Hydrospin family of products, comprising hydrocyclonic cleaning pre-filters that can be installed in filtration sys- tems. It reduces the water consumed in the filter washing system by half and the frequen- cy of subsequent filter washes, thus facilitating pool maintenance.
LED lighting
Using LED lighting makes it possible to save up to 92% of energy thanks to the improved energy efficiency of this te- chnology. The PAR56 LumiPlus 1.11 lamp outperforms the energy efficiency of traditional 300 W halogen bulbs, as it has a useful life 100 times greater and consumes 12 times less energy. With 100,000 hours of useful life and no main- tenance whatsoever, it favours sustainability as it drastically reduces the frequency with which it has to be replaced.
Some of Fluidra’s future short-term environmental goals are as follows: [EN26] • Substituting conventional lighting for LED technology with luminosity sensors and motion detectors in order to gain much greater efficiency (increase of light levels by 50%) and significant energy savings. (Prelast)
• Installing solar panels on the surface of the warehouse roof. (Trace Logistics)
Stainless steel modular pools and wellness facilities Fluidra has designed a range of innovative modular sys- tems for building and assembling wellness facilities made of stainless steel. The pool shells, their fittings and support structures are developed and built on our own facilities. Thus, pools can be sent in their completed form or in modu- les so that assembly in the end facility is avoided or minimi- sed. A novel product design and process that makes high qua- lity pools, finishes and fittings
available to
the most demanding markets.
• Conducting a feasibility study for reusing treated pro- cess water in an onsite physico-chemical wastewater treatment plant. (Metalast)
• Reducing the consumption of acetone as a cleaning agent by finding alternative non-evaporable products; attaining its total replacement by 2016. (Poltank)
• Reducing the generation of waste by reusing waste ob- tained internally or externally. (Poltank)
• Reducing the tonnage of waste thrown away by using other types of materials. (Sacopa)
• Reducing the size of some products and optimising the packaging used. (TdA)
• Separating 50% of the plastic waste recycled externally by types of material. (Sacopa)
