Following Bosta’s successful launch of Pentair’s Intellipool Control system at Spatex, many customers wanted to learn more about
the premium they can get for their pools, when installing this system. Bosta reacted fast and took a group of selected customers to
the Pentair factory for technical training on the product including instalation demonstrations.
Kris German joined Devon-based Harris Pools as a temporary summer helper after completing a degree in Business Studies at University and
taking a year, travelling the southern hemisphere.
He could hardly have known, within just a few years, he would have earned himself a stake as a shareholder of the pool and spa company.
Although attendance figures for this year’s SPATEX show fell for the third year in succession, the consensus of opinion has been that Brighton once again offered a worthwhile showcase for the majority of exhibitors and attendees alike. It was a case of quality over quantity as official visitor figures put attendance at 1,241 – the lowest figures since 2009 and nearly half that of the 2007 total of more than 2,000.
Amid fears that a rival exhibition could strip the core pool and spa industry associations of vital future revenue, water leisure sectors are being urged to back SPATEX, the exhibition that has raised in excess of one million pounds for the industry in its 17 year history.
SPATEX is part of the BSPF umbrella group that includes the member organisations of SPATA and BISHTA. Enjoying a virtually free rein since its inception in 1996, SPATEX, held every February in Brighton, now faces stiff competition from a rival event.
Going head-to-head on timing and on price packages, the organisers of Piscines, Lyon, the world’s largest dedicated water leisure show, will launch an alternative UK pool and spa show to be held at Birmingham’s NEC in January 2013.
The organisers of the bi-ennial Lyon pool show are teaming up with UK partners to launch Piscine UK, a new show for the pool and spa
sectors that will be held at Birmingham’s NEC from next year.
Piscine UK 2013, from January 23 to January 25, is a joint venture between Lyon organisers, GL events and the UK based NEW events,
is aiming to provide the UK, Europe’s fourth biggest pool and spa market, with a professional even that targets international exhibitors,
say the organisers.
Individuality is today’s watchword when it comes to automatic pool covers.
Gone are the days when home pool owners were impressed simply by the push-button action of the automatic cover. Now they demand a bespoke product that is precision engineered not only to automatically exit the pool water but to disappear into a wall or floor; completely invisible when the pool is in use.
