Nick Clamp- 10 years ago
Nick ClampIf you’re in the Commercial sector of the water leisure Industry there is only one place to be Sunday February 1st to Tuesday 3rd when the UK’s leading pool and spa Exhibition, SPATEX 2015 is open for business at the Jaguar Exhibition Hall Coventry’s Ricoh Arena.
Each year, SPATEX, attracts a high level of visitors, both from the domestic and commercial sector, including designers, builders, architects, hoteliers, leisure operators, local authorities, leisure centres and health clubs, spa owners, schools, property developers and many more.
The Industry’s biggest shop window
Now in its 19th year, SPATEX ranks amongst its one hundred plus exhibitors, the top manufacturers, suppliers and distributors, from both home and abroad. In 2015 there will be even more to see as the Exhibition is expanding into halls one and two. To whet your appetite, here’s a taste of what some of our exhibitors have been working on:
Calorex – an HRD heat pump heat recovery dehumidifier was recently installed at the new Wolverton Swimming & Fitness Centre in Milton Keynes. Just one of many commercial leisure venues to benefit from energy cost savings and reduced CO² emissions that a bespoke Calorex heat recovery system provides.
Peraqua – has launched the ingenious Aquacoach pool control series, which offers automatic control of the most common pool functions. A multilingual menu and simple icons guarantee easy programming.
Brenntag – reports that its Heatsavr liquid pool blanket has been responsible for a 30 per cent drop in humidity following its installation at Bramcote Leisure Centre in the East Midlands.
Waxman Ceramics’ Smart mosaic tile range has proved a runaway success and, in particular, the ultra modern ‘Dewdrop’ finish which has the look of a polished surface after being drenched in water.
Certikin International – manager of Devon’s landmark Salcombe Harbour Hotel reports that its newly refurbished Harbour Spa has been pivotal in “seeing a significant upturn in business and repeat bookings.” The Spa features a luxurious pool, hydro pool, sauna, steam room – designed and built by Newton Abbott Westcountry Leisure using Certikin equipment.
Bowman has introduced new Titanium tubestacks across its swimming pool heat exchanger range, plus new corrosion resistant end covers for its larger units, giving pool owners the benefits of even greater corrosion protection performance.
Water Treatment Products – ideal for commercial use, Shower Head Plus is a unique 2-stage solution which has a proven efficacy against Legionalla and offers a comprehensive descaling of shower head fittings without damaging the metallic finishes.
Plastica has undertaken its biggest challenge yet, with the installation of a single piece thermal cover at the Commando Training Centre Royal Marines in Lympstone measuring 33m x 15m!
Mineral Supplies International – Alan Bettin Swimming Pools, who service and maintain up to 400 pools each year, have endorsed the benefits of Zeoclere30 media which they say “is ideal for pools that are in constant use, have heavy bather loads and are therefore at greater risk of ammonia build up.”
