restraints of children staying in school. We always look to make our pools as family friendly as possible so that we can cater for smaller children and make sure they also have a fun time.” Craig oversees the leisure teams at each of Bourne Leisure’s 55 sites. His main expertise is in swimming pool safety, encompassing the group’s 122 swimming pools, spas and water play areas. “The most prominent challenge facing the industry at present is keeping the pools clean and free from any nasty bugs. Cryptosporidium awareness is very big at the moment and the challenge is keeping this out of our pools by keeping our filtration systems in tip top shape,” says Craig.


Craig reveals that many holiday parks do not have a designated

pool maintenance team in place, due to cost and work challenges. Bourne Leisure has a list of approved pool contractors in place across the country that can be called upon when things go wrong, thus ensuring a fast turnaround on repairs and maintenance. “I have seen some holiday providers that, upon closing for the season simply turn off the lights and leave the pools until weeks before they open again for the next season,” says Craig. He urges: “If I can give any advice, please keep the pools running through the winter - you will save on costly repairs and be able to see what condition the equipment is in. Just keep it turning over with chemicals in but make sure that your heating system is winterised properly.”


Filter Media Reduces Running Costs

Keeping energy costs to a minimum is a high priority for holiday park pools. With this in mind, Certikin’s OC-1 filtration media reduces heat loss in the system and enables pumps to perform better, to the tune of about 20%.


The filtration media works through settlement, as opposed


to the traditional method of entrapment. “By replacing commonly used media such as sand and glass with OC-1 Filtration Media, it is possible to reduce the head loss in the filtration system; filter with a constant flow regardless of debris entrapment and significantly reduce running energy costs,” explains Steve Nelson Commercial Sales Manager at Certikin. “An example would be that 50m³/hr pump that is 4.1kW in size with sand or glass this pump cost approximately £11.80 per hour to run. Converting the filter media to OC-1 and turning the pump down now means that this pump will cost £5.67 per day to run, a saving of £6.13 per day or £2,237.45 per year.” This is just one relatively small pump as an example and with systems that have multiple pumps the savings can be much greater and the savings are ongoing and will happen every year thereafter.


The capital investment in most cases


will be recovered in less than a year with the energy savings making it a cost neutral at worst or at best by spending money you will actually save money in that financial year.
