THROWING SOME LIGHT ON LIGHTHOUSE POOLS
Lighthouse Pools, the sole UK distributer for Zodiac heat pumps, was established in 2010 by Daniel Phillips, a fully qualified swimming pool engineer and businessman. Based in Plymouth and the heart of the South West, Lighthouse Pools is a vibrant and busy family run business with big plans for the future
heard of Lighthouse Pools, however the Zodiac brand of pool products, synonymous with quality and reliability, is a familiar name which has stood the test of time. Lighthouse Pools’ Daniel Philips first became familiar with the Zodiac heat pump range whilst establishing his career as a swimming pool engineer in France. Impressed with the quality of the build, low noise levels and above all reliability, he continued to install Zodiac Heat Pumps after returning to the UK. Daniel went on to build up a strong relationship with the Zodiac Group and Lighthouse Pools is now the exclusive UK supplier for Zodiac Heat Pumps

growing and competitive one and with the rise of many new cheaply built models available from Internet sources, I am 100% confident that the superior quality and steadfastness of Zodiac units will be attractive to both dealers and pool owners.” Zodiac Heat Pumps come in three ranges: Power, Power First Premium and Power Force. There are 12 models available, one for almost any pool situation including practical ‘all season’ units. The Power First Premium is one of the quietest heat pumps on the market with sizes up to 15.7kW. It is the superior product for a discerning customer. Over 15,000 units are sold annually worldwide and their reliability is second to none so dealers can be assured they are supplying a product outclassing competition.

Although heat pumps remain its flag ship product, Lighthouse Pools has recently extended its portfolio to include a number of other outstanding Zodiac Pool products. This range now includes heat exchangers, dehumidification systems, automated controls, electric cleaners and electric heaters. As the company only distributes Zodiac products it is able to provide a unique service to its customers through close links to the manufacturer. As a dedicated supplier, the company is also able to access Zodiac’s on-line thermal analysis system, which assists in identifying the correct product for any particular project as well as providing helpful sizing charts.
