calcium hardness, and alkalinity, boast a range of benefits. These include: • Analysis of results that are 100 times faster than the next leading brand.
• A digital LED sensor, which means there is no need for calibration, which saves pool manager’s time and money (this alleviates annual service costs and the pool operator having to have a spare while the other is being calibrated).
STA is set to revolutionise the leisure sector with the launch of a new digital photometer that uniquely requires no calibration and links via Bluetooth to
STAadmin.co.uk’s pool plant management programme, for real time analysis, instant email alerts and reporting. Developed in partnership with Pool

As the leading award body for swimming pool and spa plant training, this new revolutionary piece of equipment complements STA’s record for innovation in the sector. The ‘5-in-1’ and ‘balanced water’ photometer kits, which read chlorine (free / total / combined), pH, cyanuric acid,
• Linking via Bluetooth to
STAadmin.co.uk’s pool plant management programme. By receiving real time analysis, instant email alerts and reporting, pool managers can put into place any required actions immediately, saving both time and money.

Floatworks Present i-sopod – The
Ultimate Sensory Relaxation Device Floatation therapy is based on the revolutionary scientific method of Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy also known as R.E.S.T. The high-tech i-sopod contains 1,000 litres of water and 500 kg of Epsom salts, creating a 30cm silky solution so buoyant that everyone floats effortlessly on the surface, no matter what their size or weight. The water and air are heated to skin temperature, 35.5°C, so that once settled in the environment you cannot tell which parts of your body are in contact with the water, and with gravity pushing down and the buoyancy pushing up in an equal force, you
find yourself in a simulated zero gravity environment.
As external stimuli is kept to an absolute minimum (you choose whether to go the whole hog and shut the door and turn the interior light off) and gravity has been eliminated, the usually dominant logical side of the brain is left with virtually nothing to do, and slowly synchronises with the creative side. This leaves the client in a
meditative state, almost identical to the brief feelings you get just before you slip into deep sleep each night.

A FIBALON® Polymer Fibre Filter Media Now In The UK
Pool Supplies Ltd is excited to be able to announce that FIBALON®
, the revolutionary
new Polymer Fibre Filter Media is now available to purchase in the UK with their company acting as UK Distributor. FIBALON®
is an innovative and highly
efficient filter for air, water, oil and other miscellaneous fluids. A mixture of full and hollow polyester fibres with different surface structures guarantee a maximum surface area and high density, while at the same time offering the lowest volume and weight. Suitable for use in swimming pool sand filters, as well as cartridge filters, this opens the market for FIBALON®
up to
above-ground pools, spas and hot hubs. As a comparison, sand will generally not filter any particles below 20 microns. For the pool and spa owner, FIBALON®
it a number of fantastic benefits: • Free flowing – FIBALON®
offers a very
low difference of pressure of 20 Mbar, measured before and after the filter media.
• Ease of handing due to low weight – a 350g bag of FIBALON®
a 25kg bag of sand or glass media.
• Energy saving and sustainable. • Higher absorbing capacity compared to sand or cartridge filters – FIBALON® can absorb 60 times its own weight in dirt particles without impacting on flow or pressure, meaning less backwashing is required.
• Fantastic filtration ability – Laboratory tests on FIBALON®
that had been used
on a swimming pool showed that 50% of the filtered material was less than 13.46 microns in size, and 10% of the filtered materials were less than 3.48 microns.
As well as these benefits, FIBALON® offers
genuine cost savings through reduced water consumption through reduced backwashing, reduced energy consumption as a higher standard of filtration is delivered in a shorter period of time, meaning the filtration system operating cycle can be reduced. In addition to those cost savings, the user will see a reduced chemical consumption as flocculants will no longer be required, and also greatly reduces wear and tear on the pool filtration system due to lower operating pressures. FIBALON®
is a German manufactured
product, with its ability proven in laboratory tests.
