PART FOUR • POOL & SPA PRODUCTS AUSTRALIAN SWIMMERS LEAD THE WORLD, AND SO DO AUSTRALIAN POOL & SPA PRODUCTS. Everyone knows the names of our great swimming champions, but when it comes to pool filtration, sanitising, heating and cleaning, few realise that we have world champions in those fields as well. Swimming pools and spas are complex and challenging systems. A variety of technologies are required to keep any large body of water, fresh, clean, warm, safe and inviting. Australia has met that challenge better than any other nation. Our range of locally designed and manufactured pool products now leads the world in many areas. And just to keep our standards high, we also import the very best that the rest of the world has to offer in other areas. All major, reputable suppliers are members of SPASAVIC and, in this Pool Products directory, they introduce some of their leading technologies. IT STARTS WITH PUMPS & FILTERS Put simply, all the water in a pool or spa needs to be withdrawn, filtered, sanitised, and perhaps heated on an almost continuous basis. To do this, every pool and spa needs a pump and series of filters that are properly matched to the needs of the system. THE NEXT STEP IS SANITISING Sanitising can be done manually. Today however, the trend is for fully automated systems with sensors and on-board computers that continually monitor and adjust the chemical balance. CLEANING Where cleaning was once a chore, our Australian dedication to enjoying our leisure has seen our manufacturers create a vast array of automated cleaning systems. From those that are part of the pool itself, to little robots that patrol the pool surface sucking up litter, we are world leaders in the field. HEATING IS NOT JUST A LUXURY Spas need to be heated. And if you want to get the most out of your pool it should be heated as well. You can choose from gas, electric or solar heating systems. They can even be integrated for greater efficiency. SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT Safety fencing is compulsory in Victoria, but it doesn’t have to be an imposition. In recent years, aesthetically pleasing barriers have emerged and modern techniques have improved pool and spa safety without detracting from the overall appearance of the pool and spa area. SOME ACCESSORIES ARE ALMOST ESSENTIAL You need the basic equipment to make your pool or spa function, but it’s often the accessories that make it fun. Control systems that fully automate almost every function of a pool or spa are now available. Pool covers and blankets increase the pleasure and decrease the workload. And beautiful paving can make the whole area a joy to be in. The following directory of SPASAVIC Pool & Spa Products is designed to help you find the products that will help you get the most from your pool or spa.
