PoolBravo – An Allin-one Solution For Managing Pool Water

Certikin’s New Solutions For Easily Cleaning Surfaces With consumer demand for effective, simple cleaning solutions at an all-time high, the launch of Certikin’s Xclear Surface, featuring the latest UV-C technology, is timely. By gently shining the compact and lightweight Xclear device over a surface, it damages the DNA of harmful micro-organisms, such as bacteria and viruses, preventing them from reproducing and spreading. Recent research has shown that UV-C light is also very effective against COVID-19. Simple to use, plug into an electric socket and it is ready for irradiation within 30 seconds. Gloves and face mask are provided, along with a portable battery pack. Suitable for all surfaces from changing rooms to offices, it is far superior to cleaning with detergent which removes some of the microorganisms and viruses, but also spreads them. In addition, chemical cleaning agents can be harmful to health, and pathogenic microorganisms can even build up resistance, in contrast to UV-C radiation.

For use in a more traditional cleaning regime, there’s the Aqua Fingers multi-purpose microfibre broom from Certikin – a product specially designed for fibreglass, tiled and vinyl lined pools, which is also excellent on glass fences, windows, pool covers and pool coping. Cleaning is made easy by the wide surface-area covered by its high-density microfibre chenille attachment, flexible body and curved underbelly, ensuring no nooks and crannies are missed. It features a reinforced neck for long-lasting durability. Certikin International 01993 777200 www.certikin.co.uk

Available through SCP UK and new for the 2021 season, the PoolBravo integrated system from EMEC has been designed to offer an all-in-one solution that is easy to use and highly accurate, whilst at the same time being able to minimise the need for manual intervention on swimming pool water and reducing the consumption of chemical products. An elegant cover makes PoolBravo suitable for any installation and in addition to safeguarding against accidental liquid loss, preserves the cleanliness of the inner components and ensures their integrity. PoolBravo is a turnkey product available in different configurations to manage the main measurement parameters concerning the treatment of swimming pool water immediately and easily. The LD multiple reading digital system inside PoolBravo gives users complete control over the measurement parameters and over the dosing of chemical products necessary for the compliance with chemical-physical water requirements. It is easy to use thanks to the LCD display and the encoder control knob that makes it simple to browse through the product’s configuration menus. Complete control also comes from the wide range of probes that can measure hydrogen peroxide, oxygen, bromine, chlorine, ozone, peracetic acid and chlorine dioxide. EMEC V series dosing pumps complete the PoolBravo dosing system. ERMES – EMEC’s exclusive online system – enables users to control and regulate the product remotely from any smartphone or PC, meaning the status of the swimming pool can always be under the control of the owner, wherever they are.

The manufacturer has kept popular features from the Domestic Slidelock System and cover straps connect to the Slidelock Max’s tubes by way of Plastica’s slide and lock fixing system whilst the company’s own locking device holds the tube in position, stopping the cover from unwinding. The tubes and covers are supported by

a new range of end stands made from highly polished 48mm diameter 316 stainless steel tubes. Slidelock Max Telescopic Reels use Plastica’s new special end bosses and bearings that encapsulate the tube, made from Acetal which has very low friction characteristics and very little moisture absorption. A new stainless steel steering wheel is also included. The new range also includes the company’s upgraded T-Model, Base Plate and their shaped wall mount.
