Coastline Pools

SPASA SPOTLIGHT

COASTLINE POOLS

As an independent family-owned company based in the NSW Hunter region, Coastline Pools specialises in premium Australian-made swimming pools and spas. We pride ourselves on raising the bar when it comes to quality and service and that’s why we consistently deliver the best swimming pool available at fiercely competitive prices.

This pool was constructed on the side of a cliff to take full advantage of the stunning coastline views. Fully formed above ground to be level with the second storey of the house, the pool was extensively piered due to the challenges the site presented. Finished with internal seating and bench seats located to offer optimum views, the end result offers the ultimate entertaining area for friends and family.

Double your swimming season with Daisy

Like most Aussies, you’ve probably spent your summer in and around the pool. But just because the seasons might be changing, your passion for the pool doesn’t have to. With a pool cover from Daisy, you can double your swimming season, double the use of your pool, and double the fun.

The fact is, pools lose their heat through the water surface. To retain the heat, reduce evaporation and keep unwanted debris out, an insulation barrier is required. Daisy’s specially designed and manufactured pool covers offer exactly that, warming and insulating your pool, extending your summer and providing a better swimming experience for you and your family. With a warm and leaf-free pool ready and waiting whenever you need it, there’s no more pre-swim scooping required, just dive straight in — it’s that easy!

But the benefits of pool covers go beyond just comfort and convenience.

SAVING WATER

Did you know that a swimming pool can evaporate up to twice its volume every year? With each pool requiring tens of thousands of litres of water to fill, reducing evaporation will not only reduce water requirements but also your water bills. Perfect for the environmentally conscious, a Daisy pool cover saves on water, reduces the need for chemicals, and provides a natural way to heat pools all contributing to a better way of life. It’s all part of the official recognition by SPASA as a Climate Care Certified product.

SAVING TIME

Don’t be put off by pool upkeep, a Daisy pool cover will do the hard work for you. Acting as a barrier, a pool cover keeps the leaves and debris out — a problem especially in autumn — reducing the workload on your pool cleaner and yourself by not having to constantly clean it out. Less scooping and more swimming, that’s what it’s all about!

SAVING MONEY

When it comes to the cost of a pool cover, it’s important to remember the return you’ll get on your investment. When you consider the reductions in water, energy, chemicals and time, the savings really start to stack up.

Delivering comfort, convenience and costsavings, the addition of a pool cover makes a lot of sense. As the seasons start to change, let a Daisy pool cover deliver the endless summer you’ve been dreaming of.

Understanding oxidisers

The aim of every pool owner is crystal-clear water with a minimum of fuss, and sometimes, reaching that goal takes a little bit of chemistry. Knowing the causes and available treatments of specific water conditions will help clear up any issues in no time at all.

Pool water tends to accumulate a build-up of organic waste material, which includes skin cells and skin oils, sunscreen, perfume and residue from other personal hygiene products like shampoo and deodorant, as well as external environmental materials including dirt and dust, leaf litter and small insects.

Over time, that build-up of matter will turn the pool water cloudy and may create an unpleasant odour. It will also lead to skin and eye irritation for pool users if left unchecked. This is where oxidisers come into play.

Using an oxidiser, also referred to as a ‘shock treatment’, will break down the organic waste and make the water safer, cleaner and more comfortable to swim in. Oxidisers

also remove chloramines, which are formed when free chlorine reacts with nitrogen-based materials in the water. Chloramines — not chlorine — are responsible for the distinct ‘chlorine’ smell often associated with swimming pool water that stings and irritates the eyes and skin.

Regular oxidation is the key to sparkling pool water that is free from impurities, so it should be an important part of your pool and spa sanitation routine. Oxidisers are available in two different forms: chlorine- and non chlorine-based.

CHLORINE-BASED OXIDISERS

Chlorine-based products come in liquid and solid granular forms. Whichever you choose, it’s important to ensure that the correct amount of product is added to your pool or spa water.

Granular chlorine products are sold in a size that is suitable for an average (50,000 litre) residential pool and indicate this on the product packaging. Liquid chlorine must be accurately measured and dosed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended dosage rates.

PROS OF CHLORINE-BASED OXIDISERS

• An effective method for eliminating chloramines and organic waste material. • Granular product is conveniently sold pre-packaged, meaning no measurement required.

CONS OF CHLORINE-BASED OXIDISERS

• Ineffective if incorrectly measured or wrong dosage used. • Renders the pool unusable for six to eight hours after dosing.

NON CHLORINE-BASED OXIDISERS

Some pool owners would rather a non chlorine-based choice, opting to use a Potassium Peroxymonosulphate product instead. Yep, this sounds like Year 10 science all over again, right? Well, that’s just a fancy name for a non chlorine-based soluble powder that you scatter across the pool water surface (scattering is also known as ‘broadcasting’). Easy.

PROS OF NON CHLORINE-BASED OXIDISERS

• An effective method for eliminating chloramines and organic waste material. • Fast dissolving, so the pool can be used 30 minutes after dosing.

CONS OF NON CHLORINE-BASED OXIDISERS

• Can be a little more expensive than chlorine-based options. As with any chemical queries, if you aren’t sure about the best option for the specific conditions in your pool, speak with your SPASA member or visit the poolspalife.com website for further information.

Experience the ultra-balanced heating power and efficiency

Who says you can’t have the best of both worlds? You can tell them that they are wrong with the Pentair UltraTemp HXi Inverter Heat Pump.

The epitome of harmony, the UltraTemp HXi delivers the optimal balance of heating power and efficiency by using just a fraction of the energy required to generate the same amount of heat. It’s simple...just select the temperature you desire on a crystal clear, full-colour LCD display, with easy-to-follow icons and messages, and the UltraTemp’s onboard AI will do the work for you.

A COST-EFFECTIVE OPPORTUNITY

When you consider constantly rising energy costs, the time has never been better to invest in an energy-efficient heat pump for your swimming pool. So, how much can you save? Under optimal conditions, the UltraTemp HXi’s heat pump uses just $1 worth of electricity to produce $14 worth of heat generated using other methods, like gas or electric element heaters. How? The UltraTemp HXi’s heat pump offers the best in class in terms of efficiency and COP (coefficient of performance) ratings, thanks to its ability to transfer heat from the air into the pool to heat water directly — using only a fraction of the required energy! In addition, the heat pump’s variable speed compressors and (full inverter) fan motors operate at a reduced speed when full power is not required, cutting not just noise, but electricity costs as well.

CONVENIENCE

Everyone wants a convenient life and the UltraTemp HXi will help you achieve just that. The unit’s self-diagnostic software carries out continuous monitoring, while the automatic defrost senses temperatures to prevent the heat pump from freezing, allowing the UltraTemp HXi to operate effectively even in lower temperatures. That means you’re free to sit back and relax in your warm and tranquil pool and spa, even in the winter chill.

The UltraTemp HXi is the perfect companion to the Pentair IntelliCentre Pool and Spa Control System or the Pentair EasyTouch PNP Pool and Spa Control System — allowing you to manage the heat pump control system that administers all pool and spa operations and features with a

simple touch of your fingertip. The system’s easy barrel union plumbing connections and thermostatic expansion valve used to control water flow and optimise efficiency over a wider operating temperature range means you are free to enjoy leisuretime in your own backyard paradise.

PENTAIR ECO SELECT

The UltraTemp HXi follows the Pentair three ‘S’s — smart, sustainable solutions. For life. The UltraTemp HXi uses EPA-recognised environmentally safe, non ozone depleting R32 refrigerant, which has allowed the pump to be branded as an Eco Select product for environmental responsibility. It also includes a 100% titanium heat exchanger, ensuring corrosion free performance for extra long life and value, complete with a market leading warranty.

Don’t wait and miss the chance to relax in a warm pool this winter. Get yourself an UltraTemp HXi and join us as we strive to provide greener choices as the global leader in pool and spa manufacturing. Embrace an eco-friendly and userorientated poolscape.
