A significant majority of new swimming pool purchasers automatically include a cleaning solution as part of their quotation. The more hesitant or sceptical, soon realise the sound basis of this purchase and almost all decide to buy an automatic cleaner within the year of building their pool. So there can be no more doubt on the value of this equipment in terms of pool enjoyment and added value! There’s a type, style and design to suit every need and requirement, from those designed to clean the small and compact pools to large, luxurious and opulent ones! In fact, all swimming pool owners are on a level footing as far as cleaning is concerned, having a choice of efficient solutions for keeping their pool clean, fully enjoying their swim and appreciating the look of clear water at all times.
A modern, reliable and powerful pool cleaner is an extremely important part of any pool owner’s arsenal in combatting undesirables in pools but with more choice than ever, it can be difficult deciding where to begin the search.
ASTRALPOOL UK – NEW RANGES DOING WELL
2012 saw the launch of a new range of automatic pool cleaners by AstralPool UK into the UK market with two key prominent ranges – The MAX and The Pullit Advance. Both of these models have surprisingly fared well through the economic downturn with end users due to their positioning and unique technical features.
The Max is an ideal
entry model for customers who previously owned a manual or hydraulic
pool cleaner. Unique features include, easy view and open access to the filter,

plug and play, high speed brushing, 4x4 traction, competitively priced.
The Pullit Advance is equipped with three cleaning systems (vibrating brushes or active jets), advance electronic system for greater interaction and bespoke settings, easy access filters, and anti-swivel cable.
The Pullit Advance offers greater options and functionality for end users who are looking for more from their existing pool cleaner and are increasingly willing to spend higher on the ‘gadget’ factor such as remote control and bespoke settings without compromising on cleaning functions. 2013 will continue to see this popular range grow alongside some exiting new developments and models to build on their success to date.
A FIRM FAVOURITE
Known as the most efficient and robust manual pool cleaning system on the market the ‘big yellow one’ has been a top seller in Europe for over 30 years.
Equally effective in pools of any shape and size, and, due to its rigid construction the Fairlocks can be used in pools with ½ hp pumps or higher. The clever design

and centralised weight over the brushes makes it perfectly practical for use on any pool finish from concrete, tiled to liner. “Sales have remained strong throughout the economic downturn. Fairlocks customers are very loyal and they are fed up with cheaper imitations of inferior quality. Pool cleaning is one of the more time consuming exercises in the pool maintenance diary and it is important that it is carried out in a fast and efficient manner. It therefore makes sense to use a vacuum head such as the Fairlocks that minimises pool cleaning time and produces spectacular results.
The Pullit Advance from AstralPool UK
“We have many customers who have used their Fairlocks vacuum head consistently for several years without any technical problems. The materials that we use are of the highest quality and therefore last for many years. One customer reported that his was 22 years old and was still going strong and producing excellent results. The product is still
manufactured in the UK and therefore, the build quality is of the highest standard.”
