Viron QT1000 The key benefits of the AstralPool Viron QT1000 robotic cleaner are: • Saves energy: It demands less power than needed when compared to other traditional pool cleaners. • Saves water: It is fully independent relieving the load on skimmer, pump baskets and

Fluidra and Pool Controls settle over mineral patent dispute Pool Controls’ XLS Minerals was withdrawn from sale in the Australian market after a settlement was reached between Pool Controls and Fluidra Australia.

EvoluX iQ The key benefits of the Zodiac EvoluX iQ range of robotic cleaners (EX4000 iQ, EX5000 iQ & EX6000 iQ) are: • Save energy: They demand less power than needed when compared to other traditional pool cleaners. • Save water: They are fully independent relieving the load on skimmer, pump baskets and filter, reducing maintenance and saving water by reducing backwash.

Zodiac CV cartridge filter with sweep elbow The key benefits of the Zodiac CV cartridge filter are: • Low maintenance filter with large capacity saves precious time by reducing the need for frequent cleaning. Requires no backwashing, instead, the cartridges are removed from the filter and cleaned with high-pressure water (eg a garden hose) when needed. • Can lead to energy savings compared to traditional filters because they do not require a regular backwash cycle. Save thousands of litres of water per year when compared to traditional filters. • Using a sweep elbow shows a marked difference in water flow

and head loss when compared to traditional 90° elbows. • Sweep elbows decrease maintenance issues such as leaking and broken pipes. • Using efficient pipe fittings such as sweep elbows contribute to decreased head, which allows for a smaller pump size and environmental benefits.

Zodiac’s Crystal Clear filter media Crystal Clear filter media is a recycled and environmentally friendly filter media that can last much longer than traditional sand filter media.

Hayward Super II Eco VS pool pump range The key benefits of the Hayward Super II Eco variable speed pool pump range are: • It can achieve substantial energy and costs savings by operating at the lower speeds and still meet the pools filtering requirements; • Savings are achieved even though the pump needs to run for a longer time at this reduced speed to move the total volume of water; • By operating at lower flow rates, the overall flow resistance is reduced, which results in substantial energy and cost savings; • It delivers superior flow, while remaining energy efficient and whisper quiet.
