NEWS IN BRIEF
RAMSIDE POOLS ARE CRYSTAL CLEAR The pools at the North East’s newest spa have been given a massive thumbs up for the quality of their water.
The multi-million pound Spa at Ramside at Ramside Hall Hotel, County Durham opened this summer, with facilities which include a 25 metre swimming pool, a hydrotherapy pool and a whirlpool.
And now testers carrying out general procedures have ruled that the pools at the spa are virtually perfect, with no traces of bacteria.
“The sampling and analysis procedure is part of the Code of Practice for the management and treatment of swimming pool water,” said Anthony Woodhouse, General Manager of the leisure facilities at Ramside.
“And we are delighted to have been told the water quality at the spa is of such a very high standard which is testament to the scrupulously high standards we have introduced.”
LOCAL COMPANY WINS CONTRACT TO BUILD WORCESTER’S NEW £10.5M POOL A deal has been agreed on the building of a new £10.5m swimming pool for Worcester, with a local company landing the contract.
Malvern based Speller Metcalfe has been revealed as the company that will build the eight-lane facility at Perdiswell. Construction on the new facility will commence before the end of the year, with a target of opening the pool in early 2017 within a new purpose- built extension to the Perdiswell Leisure Centre.
Speller Metcalfe beat off stiff competition from eight other builders to land the deal with the city council.
The council finally approved the building of the new pool in September following two years of deliberations.
The new facility will be able to host regional competitions – a first for the city.

When a pool or hot tub enclosure is needed that’s a cut above the rest, it’s hard to beat the magnificent Bespoke Spa Collection from Crown Pavilions. Indeed with clients ranging from Champneys and European royalty to celebrities like Duncan Bannatyne and Gloria Hunniford, Crown has long been recognised as one of ‘the’ market leaders when it comes to creating the world’s finest garden rooms – and the Bespoke Spa Collection is no exception. With Crown, a spa room can be anything the customer desires – a spacious enclosure for a pool and hot tub with changing rooms and showers or a lavish socialising and dining experience with comfy sofas and coffee table, dining suite, bar, pizza oven and food preparation area – even a surround-sound cinema. Whatever is needed, Crown will deliver. Imagination is the only limit.
A bespoke spa room from Crown is built for
year-round use. Customers can specify double- glazing and bi-fold doors plus top-of-the-range insulation and under-floor heating. Blinds and soft furnishings are made from mould-resistant marine-grade acrylic canvas that won’t rot or fade. The deep-filled cushions are unbelievably comfy – even the zips and toggles are in a different league. And each spa room is hand-constructed to order
in Oxfordshire for a product that the company believes surpasses anything else on the market, down to the smallest detail.
Of course with Crown it’s not simply about delivering a superlative product. Their
service is recognised as being amongst the very best. So, as well as offering healthy margins to retail partners who refer clients to Crown, they work hard to ensure that both retailers and their customers enjoy a world-leading package that can’t be beaten.

The Essential Ingredient To Any Family Pool
Add a family of children and a handful of pets to a brand new swimming pool and what’s the essential ingredient? It is, of course, the Coverstar – one of the leading automatic safety covers, that is as stylish as it is safe.
Equally stunning by night and day, this beautiful new pool was designed and constructed by Cambridgeshire pool company Aqualeaf Ltd. Bought for the enjoyment of their growing family, the Petersons were keen to maximise safety and were immediately impressed with the robust nature of the Coverstar safety cover.
The Coverstar prides itself on being simple to operate via a key switch and when not in use, the key can be removed, preventing unauthorised operation and adding to the product’s safety.
Mr Peterson said: “What we like about the Coverstar is that it is so easy to use – being automatic, it takes literally a couple of minutes at the most to uncover the pool. We didn’t want a cover that would take ages to put on and off. Let’s face it, in this country in the time that it takes to get some covers off a pool, the weather can have changed!”
Music to the ears of all pool owners looking to reduce their heating, Mr Peterson adds that the cover also scores ten out of ten for retaining the pool’s
heat. “In fact, on really hot days we have to remove the cover to let some of the heat out otherwise the water can become too hot for swimming!”
Built from scratch, the pool features a number of Certikin products including an Aquaspeed pump, Vision filter, Calorex heat pump, Optimus grey fittings, Dolphin automatic pool cleaner, Rainbow in line chlorine feeder, Quadrapool flexible pipe and compression fittings. A Certikin counter-current unit adds hours of family fun and gives this pool an added dimension.
