in water & air quality Since installing Hanovia UV disinfection systems for its two indoor swimming pools, the Royal Russell School has seen a dramatic improvement in both water & air quality. There has also been a significant reduction in chemical usage.“We always managed to keep chloramine levels quite low (typically about 1.0ppm) even before we started using UV,” commented their Engineering Services Manager. “Since UV was installed, however, chloramine levels are as low as 0.2ppm, which has significantly improved both water and air
quality.TDS levels have also halved meaning much clearer water. Click here to request literature

Door closer hits the right notes at music school Samuel Heath’s Perko Powermatic®
controlled, concealed door closer has
been used in the development of a new music school at Godolphin and Latymer, an independent girls’ school in West London. A glazed, full-height atrium connects the two buildings, introducing a light, airy note that is continued throughout the music school, with plain washed walls and the extensive use of steel, glass and contemporary timber doors. Essential to maintaining the feeling of openness and informality has been the selection of hardware and, in particular, the selection of door closers for the fire doors that divide the corridor which runs along the entire length of the school’s upper floor.
