Sales to private home-owners have developed via distribution circuits and the market has flourished over the years. In recent years, spas too have multiplied in 4- and 5-star hotels to the point where they have now become essential amenities in the same way as swimming pools.

In addition, Piscine Global is launching the second Pool Vision competition and showcasing pool and spa trends as seen by other countries worldwide. A jury selects the most outstanding pool projects from around the world. Construction techniques, water treatment, linings, accessories, spa... the latest in international pool fashions will be put under the spotlight.
DISCOVER THE EXHIBITORS’ LATEST INNOVATIONS
Close to 100 new products were launched during the four day exhibition in the Top 100 and Pool Eco Attitude areas. The ‘Top 100’ area for technological innovations provides exhibitors with the opportunity to showcase products in a dedicated area which is likely to feature the widest range of new products on the market. The ‘Pool Eco Attitude’ area for your products and solutions that meet one or more ‘sustainable development’ criteria: Piscine Global is the only event to offer visitors a selection of eco-designed or eco- efficient products. The products presented in the Pool Eco Attitude area must meet one or more sustainable development criteria: energy- saving, reduction in the use of chemicals, etc. The Piscine ‘Water Tests’ area allows visitors to experiment with real-life demonstrations of the latest technological products. Launched in 2012, the Water Tests take place in an area set aside exclusively for demonstrating products in real-life situations in customised pools. They provide exhibitors with an opportunity to provide leading-edge products to visitors plus offer technical training or carry out real tests throughout the exhibition.

With so much to see and do, the argument for attending the show is a strong one and vistors will be familiar with many of the brands on show. Despite it being very much an international show, there is representation from UK companies too, some of which will be using the event to showcase products for the first time. Names including Artesian Spas with their hot tubs, Suntrap Systems with their disability lifting products and Palintest with their water testing products have all confirmed their attendance. A full exhibitor list is available to download as a PDF from the Piscine Global website and the list of names will no doubt change as the exhibition draws nearer, but we take a closer look at just a handful of the other familiar UK companies that have confirmed their attendance at the time of SPN going to press:
