Once content with providing only the water leisure cog in a lucrative construction wheel, Aqua Platinum Projects is now offering the complete turnkey package as project management consultants on entire construction projects.

When it comes to breaking moulds – Aqua Platinum Projects is a company that knows no boundaries. Paving the way for a completely new generation of swimming pool specialists, APP is redefining the role for residential pool installers at the same time, elevating themselves into the premier division of property development. Once content with providing the water leisure cog in a lucrative construction wheel, the company is now reinventing that wheel; offering the complete turnkey package as project management consultants on entire  construction projects.

THIRD GENERATION
“It is so obvious, I do not know why we did not think of it before,” says Ryan Fronda, who boasts 20 years experience in the pool construction sector, as the third generation of the Fronda pool building dynasty.
“With pool contracting, you invariably have to dove tail with a main contractor and a number of sub contractors – the more factors involved, the more complicated the inevitable blame
culture and the ‘hot potato’ mentality,” Ryan says. “Something goes wrong, the client pulls the pin on a hand grenade and everyone wants to chuck it around. “But clients, particularly top end clients, do not want to know about problems or hand grenades and the collateral damage; they want a minimum aggravation experience. So in this way, we take control ourselves, cut out the communication chain and see the entire project through from concept to completion.”
Strategic Partnership
Grasping the proverbial nettle, APP has established strategic partnerships with architects, builders and developers. The move has catapulted the team from £250,000 bit players to multimillion pound top of the bill listing.
“These sorts of projects are slow burners; from concept to handover can be two years but we bring all the elements to the table; the whole job is our responsibility and the clients are willing to pay for that service,” Fronda continues.
“Instead of extracting the pool part of the job, giving us a price for the piecemeal pool work, we now do the whole lot. Given the size of the projects we are now taking on, it can sometimes feel daunting but it is risk versus reward for us.
“From the client’s point of view they have a smooth, one point of contact, from tender to handing over the key.”
Fundamental to that success is APP’s partnership with London based architect, Julian Amos, a practice that has a vast portfolio of luxury end properties up to £40m. An extended team at APP with strong contract managers ensures top quality delivery at all levels. Projects so far have seen a London bias but the team has no geographic barriers.
An overwhelming trend is the demand for basement projects,typically involving not just pools but also delivering on games rooms, cinemas and wellness suites. APP specialises in the technically challenging field of sub terrain  construction. The company is capitalising on the increasing demand for basement work, particularly in mews properties, where planning permission, for anything other than underground development, would be extremely costly and invariably declined.
“Clients are grasping the concept that when it comes to sensible development, the answer lies in the ground beneath their feet,” Ryan explains.
“Clients are seeing massive returns on development of sub terrain developments that heap value on the properties as we
increase the square footage.”
An integral part of the basement pool construction is the tiled Polypool panel system that is ideal for its versatility and quick build potential. Ryan concludes: “We were hostages to fortune if we relied on the liner pool market that has suffered so badly in the economic climate. “We could have just sat back and waited for the economy to improve; instead we are moving forward with the Polypool tiled system as the lynchpin to our sustained success.”

Artesian Spas have just launched the new SmartPhone technology in their top end line, the Platinum Elite.

Home spa and hot tub owners can now control their hot tubs through their mobile phones thanks to new SmartPhone technology being introduced to top end spa models for 2012.

Artesian Spas have just launched the new SmartPhone technology in their top end line, the Platinum Elite.
Coast Spas too have taken the wraps off its new Spa App that controls multiple spa functions through iPhone, iTouch and iPad, initially on models with luxury packs.
For the first time hot tub aficionados take control of their Coast Spa from inside the comfort of their home with their iPhone, iPod or iPad. The spa owner simply downloads the free app from iTunes and it will automatically connect to their hot tub.
CONSTANT UPDATES
Once a mobile handheld device connects to a spa, the user will be able monitor real-time temperature changes of spa water as
it constantly updates. In addition you can re-set and modify that temperature, activate jets and toggle lights on and off.
With mobile phone control options available through Gecko and Balboa, the smart technology is expected to be extended to all
major brands by the end of next year.
“I think in today’s society, we are very reliant on technology, it’s almost unheard of for a person to be without a computer in their
home,” comments Vicky Stirland of Artesian Spas. “Almost everyone has a smart phone and communicates with
family and friends using technology on a daily basis. “It’s important for an innovative hot tub company like Artesian
to listen to the market and meet technological demands,” Vicki adds.
With early prototypes now rolling off the production lines, the new ‘smart’ technology will give spa sales a timely boost.
As Vicky says: “The aim of these new innovations is to make the spa experience as luxurious and relaxing as possible especially
for someone who is considering a top end spa.
“I don’t think there is a down side to this ‘smart’ technology, so long as the products improve the overall spa experience and have
gone through rigorous testing. “There would be nothing worse than having this technology that is meant to make the spa-use easier than to have it fail and become a stressful and frustrating experience,” Vicky stresses. “That is why Artesian spend years thoroughly testing their technology before launching it.” She adds: “Although it can be seen as a benefit to be the
first to launch something, we would rather make sure that the technology will be reliable for our customers when it is
introduced. A premium product should be built to a premium standard without exception.”
Not to be out done, Coast Spas is now adding the Spa App to complement its multi-functional Colossus Pack for topside control
in multiple languages.

Fingertip control of home spas is only a phone call away for owners of Coast Spas hot tubs.

“Coast Spas has always been considered the leader in innovation and design for the hot tub industry,” Sean Corscadden, Coast Spas’ Executive Sales Manager. “We were the first with fibre-optics, first with stereos, first with TV’s, first with two speed motors and the first and only with negative edge spas. “We take this part of the business very seriously and invest heavily in designing new and creative things to keep us and our dealers “different”.

Sean says in today’s day and age, people want ease of use; functional things that make their lives easier and more enjoyable.

“Technology offers that and I believe the Spa App and iPhone/ iPad technology will continue to develop and allow for these needs and wants,” he says. “When a spa company pushes the envelope and is a leader in this area and invests it makes them different than the competition. This is important because it allows retailers to offer and cater to people who want more. More value for their money.”
Sean adds: ”I am not a ‘techie’ person but I understand and see that most people are, especially the young people. “Information comes so fast and people need it more and more. I think with that it makes a hot tub that much more important.
“It gives people the opportunity to leave their 60 hour a week jobs behind and so get away in their own back yards and relax,
recharge and reconnect with each face to face.” Like, Artesian, Coast already offers Sony Bluetooth that can link your mobile phone to the Sony Bluetooth stereo and play all songs that you have on the phone through the deck.
It also allows you to accept calls; you hear the person speak through the speakers and there is a microphone that picks up
your voice and transmits to them. With several new developments to be unveiled in the New Year, the Sundance elite series of spas rated highest in energy-efficiency, contemporary design pushing the boundaries of style, quality, pristine water and innovation.
“Technology is continually advancing in all industries and so it is good to include those advances within our spas,” says Sundance
Spas UK’s Glen Squire. “After all it is where our customers spend most of their time relaxing and winding down at the end of their day.

There is, if the technology being used is not quite ready or has not been specifically designed for outdoor environments, or
the quality of the components being used are of inferior quality, producing failure problems for the customer which leads to ba press. Some technology being used within the spa industry is gimmicky leading to tacky looking spas or which can just create
more maintenance work for the customer.” But, Glen warns: “We all need to remember that a spa is about relaxing so anything that promotes this along with a massage and
soaking in hot water is a good thing. “But if the technology is not required, if it creates more maintenance or it is an afterthought to try and make the spa more
than what it actually is, don’t put it in.”

Traditional residential liner pool building companies are being offered a Golden Goose by thermal-insulation panel pool specialists, Polypool Manufacturing.

Particularly hard hit by the economic down turn, traditional
residential liner pool building companies are being offered a
Golden Goose by thermal-insulation panel pool specialists,
Polypool Manufacturing.
Already cutting an average four weeks off pool building
timelines, the Polypool package is supplied complete with Part L
compliance documentation – an estimated cost saving of up to
£1,500.
But most significantly, after three years of research and
development, the energy efficient pool building system can now
be installed as a tiled finish option – propelling the middle-priced
pool builder into a whole new ‘recession-proof’ luxury end of the
pool building market.
BUSINESS PROSPECTS
“Business prospects for the liner outdoor pool market specialists
are particularly worrying,” comments Phil de Bruderer, of Polypool
Manufacturing.
“The traditional liner market halved two years ago and went
down another third this year, it is a sad state of affairs,” says Phil.
“The local swim pool company, working within a 20 mile radius,
typically building three or four or more liner pools a year have had
to shift their work into refurbishments, maintenance, chemical
sales, well, just anything to survive.
“Offering a tiled finish is particularly significant because it lifts
the low to medium priced builder into a place where they can compete at the luxury end of the market,” Phil adds.
It has taken nearly four years to perfect but the Polypool
System can now be offered with the tiled finish by virtue of an
extra process involving lining the pool tank with a sprayed, sand
textured, rendered finish. This process is carried by Polypool
engineers, as part of the sale price and replaces traditional
rendering.

Peter Andre chooses a Jacuzzi hot tub from Euphoria Lifestyle

Singer, model and television personality, Peter
Andre, chose a Jacuzzi J-470 from Euphoria Lifestyle
as a hot tub to enjoy with both his family and
friends in the garden of his Surrey home,
The entire process, from his first visit to the
installation, was filmed for ITV 2’s documentary
‘Peter Andre: The Next Chapter’.
When asked how he is enjoying his new hot tub,
Peter said: “It is absolutely brilliant. It is the perfect
after-training treatment and is the best thing I own
for relaxation. It is also amazing for parties.”

Suitable for indoor and outdoor pools, the Thermapool insulation system will slash overall heating costs for residential and commercial pools.

When it comes to making bold statements – Nigel Rose, builder, turned self-proclaimed pool pioneer is not backward in coming forward.
“The swimming pool industry and the owners of Britain’s
300,000 pools are drowning in ignorance.” says Nigel Rose in his latest PR propaganda.
Traditionally slow to be persuaded to try new concepts, the
pool sector has been reluctant to respond to the bold statements
and claims by the inventor of the Thermapool insulation system.
Yet Nigel’s argument is so persuasive, he has attracted the
attention of The Times, with an article quoting his confident claims
of saving first the pool industry, closely followed by the planet.
So is he really helping his cause by over egging the sales
messages? The pool industry jury is still out; wondering if Nigel
Rose is ahead of his time, a misunderstood messiah of energy
efficiency, or just a clever manipulator of facts and figures to cash
in on the energy efficiency debate?
“I’m often taken to task for my claims – which are totally
backed up with scientific research – that I have developed a
system which can be fitted to new pools, or during renovations, to
heat them for a negligible amount, saving 86% of heat loss with
efficient insulation,” says Nigel.
“The industry just won’t accept the scientific facts and
continues to insulate pools poorly with unsuitable material
like polystyrene and polyurethane foams – and their trusting
customers are the ones losing out, paying a premium to keep their
pools at a comfortable temperature and pushing tons of CO2 into
the atmosphere in the process.”

Kylie Grimes was left paralysed from the chest down when she dived into a friend’s pool but has lost a £6m court case.

Homeowners with a private swimming pool do not have the ultimate responsibility to prohibit adults from diving into it, according to a landmark High Court ruling in which a young woman lost her claim for £6m damages.
Kylie Grimes, a healthy, athletic horsewoman was just 18 when she was left paralysed from the chest down when she dived into the pool in Farnham, Surrey, in August 2006.
The pool owner David Hawkins and his wife were away on the
night of the accident. Their daughter Katie had asked her father to let her have a few friends over but a group of about 20 came back from the pub.
Ms Grimes, of Stephendale Road, broke a vertebra below the base of her neck jumping into the pool.
She claimed her injury was caused by Mr Hawkins’s negligence or breach of his duties under the Occupiers’ Liability Act but Mrs Justice Thirlwall ruled against her, describing the pool as “not unsafe for diving”.

From architectural design, through the rigours of planning consent, to the creation of the pool, the building, the heating, the glazing, Origin Leisure take on the complete job.

Origin Leisure has been at the top of the swimming pool industry for thirty years. To celebrate this milestone the company hasrebranded its entire look, with a bright new logo, an all-new website, and redesigned vans.
But the ethic of the company remains unchanged. They are still
adopting their programme of constant improvement, and their
products are more adventurous, more imaginatively designed and more perfectly built than ever.
Reflecting on the early days, when the company started
out life as Leisureland, the directors searched the archives for
photographic evidence of the pool houses they were building
in the eighties. Simplicity seemed to be the keyword in those
distant days – when a simple pine building housed a small
heated swimming pool. In further research they found that the
majority of these buildings are still in daily use today, giving new
generations the pleasure of swimming at home throughout the
year. Many of these early masterpieces have been refurbished
by the Origin maintenance team, to bring the look and the pool
technology up to date.
NOSTALGIC BURST
To celebrate this burst of nostalgia, the directors also gathered a
collection of early advertisements and brochures, and featured
them in the Origin summer newsletter NewsWave. Also featured is
an article on Britain’s brightest swimming talent Francesca Halsall.
Origin is delighted to be one of Fran’s sponsors, especially as she
has just clocked a world-leading time in the 100 metres freestyle!
Generally the buildings have become bigger, better, far more
complex and far more stylish over the years. Lovely pool houses
that are designed to co-ordinate with their surroundings, to
actually improve the vista from the owner’s home, and match in
with the materials and fabrics of the existing building.
Constancy has been a key feature in Origin’s development.
The client always meets a representative at director level, and has
the opportunity to discuss ideas and requirements with someone
who has a total understanding of the swimming pool world. The
architects and designers are seasoned players in their fields, and
bring a wealth of experience to every aspect of this complex and
demanding business. Even the teams who build the final pool
houses are eminently professional, many having been involved
since the very early days of the company.

Origin Leisure is marking its 30 year milestone with a company makeover including a a bright new logo, an all-new website, and redesigned vans.

Within Origin’s range of expertise is a long standing
commitment to the supply of hydrotherapy pools. Realising the
benefits of swimming as a health giving pursuit as well as for
pure fun, the company has made sure it has become recognised
as the most important player in this exacting field.
NATURAL PROGRESSION
It was accepted as a natural progression to build outdoor pools
too. The level of skill and the company’s unique understanding
of pool technology stood them in good stead to become one of
the country’s foremost outdoor pool providers. A pool house is
a beautiful and stylish addition to your family life, but for pure
aesthetics an outdoor pool twinkling welcomingly in an English
garden cannot be beaten!
A question that is asked again and again is “Do you do the
whole project yourself?” The answer is a resounding yes. From
the very first sketch, maybe produced while standing in the
client’s garden, to standing in that same garden admiring the
pure craftsmanship, no other company apart from Origin has
been involved. From architectural design, through the rigours of
planning consent, to the creation of the pool, the building, the
heating, the glazing, it is a complete job, monitored and run by a
team of committed experts.
Origin is Britain’s longest established pool company. And the new
look and logo underlines that fact. The strapline reads ‘The original
indoor & outdoor pool company.’ And that just about says it all.

UK Pool Contractors of the Year, Portrait pools delivered all the goods with the outstanding barn conversion project in Cumbria.

Proving that beauty is not just skin-deep, the environmental control for an outstanding Cumbrian barn conversion project, by multi-award winning Portrait Pools, was entrusted to the care of a Phoenix environmental control unit from Heatstar.

The client wanted tasked the Portrait team with maximising the use of space and layout within the barn to create a modern contemporary style pool yet still retain some of the original character.

In addition, any ductwork required for the heating and ventilation had to be hidden from view and Portrait’s design had to accommodate the fact that the barn had very little natural light.

 Portrait Pools rose to the challenge and met all the criteria. The pitched roof with exposed honey coloured beams showed the buildings origins and original character whilst the rest of the space was given a clean, contemporary look.

Second time around a Calorex Delta provides the energy-efficient ingredient in the purpose-built pool hall an Essex family added to their new home.

After 12 years enjoying their home swimming pool, climatecontrolled via a Calorex Delta heat pump, there was only one choice for an Essex family when they moved house.

Their pool consultant opted for the familiar reliability of another Calorex Delta to provide the vital energy-efficient ingredient in the purpose-built pool hall they added to their new home.

Calorex heat pumps, available in the UK via Certikin International, are capable of providing a pool with up to five units of absorbed heat for every one unit paid for. The Calorex Delta reduces energy consumption by as much as 60% and associated CO2 emissions by up to 55% when compared with a full fresh air ventilation system.

Hot tubs like this Jacuzzi, provide an ideal antidote to the hectic pace of modern living

I have never really been a joiner. But a group, I am delighted to have enrolled in over the past few years, is the home hot tub club.

 In fact, not only am I a member – I am practically an evangelical minister of the home hot-tubbing clergy.

I would go as far as to say that investing in your own portable spa will transform your back garden into a retreat that will fine tune your soul, pamper your senses and rescue you from the stresses and strains of modern daily life – my only trouble is staying out of it!

Few other additions to your garden are likely to bring such a profound sense of well-being for you and the whole family than a garden spa or hot tub – they are commonly known as both. Whether it is the children splashing about, the grandparents easing their aching joints or the teenagers cranking up the volume on the spa stereo with the benefits of lighting effects from the floating disco light ball – the hot tub has something to offer every member of the family.

State of the art technology allows the Waxman Design Centre to recreate virtually any image and colour combination to achieve a truly individual finish.

Working from detailed drawings or just a sketch or a picture, Waxman’s highly skilled creative team will produce bespoke, avant-garde designs using only the highest quality products including ceramic, porcelain, glass and natural stone.

“Waxman prides itself on providing a truly individual service for all customers with an all-embracing design service backed by an extensive product choice and good stock levels” said Julian Garlick, Waxman Ceramics’ national sales director.

According to a BBC report, people in Jersey are being warned of the dangers of swimming pools by Child Accident Prevention Jersey (CAPJ). The Home Swimming Pool Safety Code aims to raise awareness of how pool owners can prevent drownings.

Louise Hamilton, CAPJ co-ordinator, was quoted as saying that with approximately 1,000 home pools on the island, every year children attend Jersey’s Emergency Department because of a neardrowning incident. “Every year children attend Jersey’s Emergency Department because of a near-drowning incident,” she said.

“Water is very enticing to young children and pool covers are an additional hazard – children trying to walk on a cover can fall under them and cause a delayed rescue because the child cannot be seen.”

Gary Hotton of Florida Pools & Spas said his company is not aware of any serious incidents involving child drownings despite many years of business. He says they sell a number of alarm systems and estimates about 90% of pools have safety covers.

“This all seems a bit daft when you consider we live on a small island of nine miles by five miles that is surrounded on all sides by the sea. Surely the sea poses a much greater risk than swimming in a pool,” says Gary.

“While we would never want people to be complacent, I think most home pool owners are vigilant and this warning is completely over the top.”
