Rosa Gres Porcelain Stoneware From Certikin
Following a new partnership with Rosa Gres porcelain stoneware, Certikin are now able to offer a complete design and manufacture solution for both indoor and outdoor pool tiling projects. This bespoke service means Certikin can take details of a project and, working with the team at Rosa Gres, produce full design visuals as well as a detailed breakdown of the stoneware required. This not only helps clients see how their completed pool will look, but also gives an accurate cost of the materials needed. At Rosa Gres, they love to create evocative, inspiring and beautiful colours. At the same time, they focus on designing innovative solutions for the most technically demanding projects. They have over 40 years’ experience in the creation of complete and functional systems where each finished piece plays an essential role. The special pieces that are created are what set them apart from competitors. Rosa Gres porcelain tiles are created from natural raw
materials and are fired at over 1,200°C which results in a tile with almost zero porosity and high durability to make it the product of choice for a wide range of projects including pools. The base pieces are manufactured using the pressing method to ensure the perfect size and calibre is obtained. This means, that these pieces can be installed with a narrower joint. Extrusion is used to manufacture all special pieces, steps, edges, channels, gratings and half rounds. With this method, more robust, resistant and longer lasting pieces can be obtained. The unique combination of pressing and extrusion means Rosa Gres can produce both base tiles and special pieces in the same colour, creating maximum visual harmony. With more than 30 colours and textures, and a range of design options, Rosa Gres has a solution for all tastes.
Gaffey Reveals New Innovation In Electrochlorination New Adaptive Response technology, ‘ART’ for short, is set to be a gamechanger for electrochlorination water disinfection. This innovative technology, developed by Gaffey, is built into their range of Hyprolyser® iSEC® electrochlorination systems and allows them to adjust to constant changes in both environment and site conditions. Addressing increasing climatic influences such as high ambient and warm feed water conditions in plantrooms and overcoming fluctuating water pressures is essential to manage during daily operations. Hyprolyser® ART can detect the smallest irregularity within its process and automatically self-regulate to function seamlessly, ensuring continual and consistent chlorine generation for effective and efficient chlorination. On-screen annotations instruct remedial actions to be taken by the operator to avoid unnecessary interruption to chlorine generation. Gaffey are also simultaneously launching their new Hyprolyser® iSEC® High Capacity Skid 250-2000 system, where a single unit alone can deliver up to a huge equivalent of 291 litres sodium hypochlorite 14% per day to treat up to 4,000m3 of pool water for example. Hyprolyser® electrochlorination systems are fully compliant under HSE/BPR and deliver real COSHH and cost saving benefits. Generating non-hazardous <1% sodium hypochlorite from salt, water and electricity, Hyprolyser® is one of the most sustainable water disinfection solutions available for pools today. Managing Director Phil Gaffey said in a statement: “We are proud to be more than just manufacturers in the water disinfection industry. Pushing technology forward is always our goal and by listening to industry feedback combined with improving technology, our in-house technical team have made some great strides that will make a real impact for our customers all around the world.” Gaffey 01254 350180 www.gaffey.co.uk
