sCottish pool will esCape spendinG Cuts The future of Montrose’s new £10m swimming pool is secure despite proposed budget cuts. Angus Council will have to make around £30m worth of savings over the next four years but swimming clubs have been told that the project will begin on schedule in January next year. The pool project survives despite councillor Alex King claiming the pool project should be dropped to help meet the target. He said: “When you are
facing a pay cut you don’t buy a new car. The council is facing cuts that are going to be horrendous. How can it make sense to proceed with building a new swimming pool which will involve additional ongoing burdens on revenue?” Council Chief Executive
David Sawers said the scheme is a high priority. He said: “The council faces unprecedented financial challenges for the foreseeable future and it is therefore essential that it plans both its service provision and its finances on a medium term basis.” The Angus Council face tighter funding from the Scottish Government and may face the prospect of reducing services and staff numbers.

DESJOYAUX LAUNcHES NEw LONgEr LIfE POOL fILTEr cArTrIDgE
Desjoyaux has launched a new pool filter cartridge that extends the filter cleaning interval for up to two months. Tests carried out on 200 pools during the 2008 and 2009 seasons show the new filter, JD Master Filter, can be used for at least two months without cleaning. This development now provides
an option for owners with holiday homes who can now leave their pool unattended for long periods of time. The new filtration cartridge is the
result of a number of technological innovations designed to make the Desjoyaux filtration process even more beneficial by significantly increasing the time intervals between filter cleaning operations
and providing an improved and even more user friendly product. It increases the cleaning interval
for the filtration element between six and eight times more than the current 15 micron standard filter bag. It has a new pre-filter basket built in to collect the largest polluting items like leaves and insects, etc. There is a stainless steel handle
to make it easier to install and remove and cleaning the filter when required is simplicity itself taking just minutes to complete. The JD Master Filter, is effective for at least three seasons. The JD Master Filter and its pre-
filter basket have a 1-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

Golden Coast shows the easiest way to Go Green
A revolutionary new simple ‘do-it- yourself’ put anywhere solar swimming pool heater has been introduced into the UK by Golden Coast. ‘SolarPro’ can be installed on any above- ground pool to harness the power of the sun to raise and maintain pool water to a warm, comfortable swimming temperature. Used either as a single unit or with a number linked in series dependant on the size of pool, the SolarPro uses the pool’s existing pump to circulate
the water through the system. Once the season is over, the portable unit is simply disconnected and drained before being stored away until the next year. SolarPro is available from stock for
immediate despatch throughout the UK by Golden Coast. i fOr fUrTHEr INfOrMATION
