Slatted Cover Options Expand With UK Launch Of (Re)Cover For those familiar with the European brands, you may recognise the two Dutch brands who have now officially launched in the UK market with a newly appointed UK sales agent, Victoria PlompenPhilip. (Re)Cover manufactures polycarbonate, solar, anti-algae and PVC slats and supply many pool cover manufacturers around Europe, Australia and Africa. They also supply the pool trade with made to measure slatted covers. Their sole focus is producing pool cover slats and they have targeted the replacement slat sector. (Re)Cover was formed by the former management team of Pool Technics. Blue PPW manufactures roller systems and accessories for automatic pool covers, all with in-roller motors, using their 25 years’ knowledge and experience. Blue took over the technology from Pool Technics whose brand Hydrodeck was distributed in the UK for many years. Both companies have been trading since 2014 and have quickly established themselves as a high quality manufacturer of slatted covers with the business growing year on year in both mainland Europe and

wider. Selling direct to the pool builder network, working with high quality products and short delivery times, competitive pricing and excellent and effective customer service, they have quickly gained a share of the market. These two Dutch companies work in close cooperation and when a client wants a complete automatic pool cover, they box it and ship it as one shipment to save on transport costs with standard order lead-time of just two weeks for delivery on site. The quality of both manufacturers is very high, and they both offer 5-year warranties and many other advantages such as the highest result against hail certification and tri-extrusion which adds an extra layer of UV protection to the slats.

be controlled and monitored via a ModBus connection. The Compact control panel offers basic safety functionality and a lamp life indicator and gives single LED life information and lamp hot-start protection. Each unit is equipped with transparent parts to monitor the UV-C lamp. VGE Pro units can be equipped with a UV-C sensor and/or water temperature sensors too. The unique Smart Pin Technology (SPT) is a reliable way to integrate the UV-C lamp(s) in a safe,
efficient and smart way in a reactor. The SPT makes it possible to replace the lamp safely, although the system remains filled with water. If the lamp is mistakenly not turned off during the replacement, it will switch off automatically as soon as it is removed from the socket. Due to the seal between the lamp socket and lamp, the system can be used in situations where IPx4 is required. The high-quality ceramic is an excellent electrical insulator and is resistant to corrosion. Certikin 01993 777200 www.certikin.co.uk
