SHOW PREVIEW


The Start Of A New Era For SPATEX


WITH A RIVAL SHOW TO CONSIDER, ORGANISERS OF THE SPATEX EXHIBITION HAD SOME TOUGH DECISIONS TO TAKE REGARDING THE SHOW’S FUTURE. HAVING ANNOUNCED A MOVE TO A NEW PURPOSE BUILT VENUE IN THE SHAPE OF COVENTRY’S RICOH ARENA, THE TRADE RESPONDED POSITIVELY WITH THE ANNUAL EXHIBITION SELLING OUT WEEKS IN ADVANCE. NEW VENUE ASIDE, THERE’S MANY REASONS TO ATTEND SPATEX IN 2014 AS SPN DISCOVERED By Jon Wadeson


central UK venue. Taking place 2 – 4 February in the Jaguar Exhibition Hall, a state of the art purpose built venue at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena, this years SPATEX is shaping up as one not to be missed. Despite having a competitor to contend with, the show sold out a full two months before it opens its doors and the list of exhibitors is both a wide ranging and impressive one.

Michele Bridle, the show’s organiser, said: “The move to a more central location at the Ricoh Arena has certainly paid dividends with all the exhibition space having been sold,” she said.


“The industry has spoken loud and clear in its support for the move to the Ricoh Arena. The sell-out reinforces the fact that SPATEX is the wet leisure industry’s original and most representative show. “We have attracted previous exhibitors as well as newcomers in over 150 categories and everything is in place for SPATEX 2014 to be the industry’s best show yet. “We believe it has a broad appeal for those involved in swimming pools, spas, saunas or hydrotherapy both in domestic and commercial sectors and there is also a wide programme of demonstrations and 25 workshops led by industry experts. “The SPATA and BISHTA Industry Awards and Gala Dinner will be hosted in the E.ON

SPN will be at the show on stand 5 10 and here’s a closer look at what else you can expect to see at Coventry.


STAY IN CONTROL WITH BECS TECHNOLOGY


New for 2014, Aquatrol Ltd will be using SPATEX to introduce the latest BECS technology swimming pool controller, the BECSys7. This exciting new addition to their range will be configured for total chlorine, free chlorine, pH, conductivity and temperature sensors which will monitor and control pool water chemistry and water quality to ensure the pool stays within predetermined parameters. The new BECSys7 is more than a chemistry controller, it has expandable mechanical control features. A unique energy conservation control function means that the controller can control to alternative set points. This means that the pool can operate at lower more cost effective settings during periods of low usage. This together


with a energy conservation mode, ‘Sleep mode’ which suspends mechanical and chemical functions during off hours ‘waking’ periodically to keep water quality in check. In Coventry, visitors will also be able to see the new BECS balance tank level control, which offers accuracy and ease of installation and maintenance. They will also be exhibiting the full range of BECS controllers which offer remote off site control to support email alarm notification which is all supported by BECSys for windows.
