The ELECRO SPECTRUM UV is designed for disinfection of residential pool and spa water, providing cost effective treatment and improved water quality. The system utilises high output, low pressure UV lamps powered by electronic ballasts which are housed within the enclosure. The water is routed through a narrow diameter and long flow path, ensuring close and extended UV contact. This design also ensures that the Quartz Sleeves are continuously rinsed by the water flow, avoiding the typical encrustations which would affect UV sanitising performance.

The unit also features an ‘End of lamp life’ indicator which flashes ‘Red’ when the UV Lamps are required to be changed. The inlet and outlet allow easy connection onto existing or new pipework systems. Suitable for flows rates of up to 36m³/h, the dose is sufficient for disinfection of the water providing complimentary protection against chlorine resistant organisms, as well as enhanced algae control.

UV treatment is compatible with all other sanitisers, including chlorine; bromine; active oxygen; peroxide; and copper based compounds, and allows for the levels of these to be significantly reduced. UV treatment introduces no by-products into the water, but also has no residual effect. Therefore a small background level of disinfectant should always be maintained.

Available from Plastica in 2012 the Elecro G2 heat exchanger is manufactured from top quality components and materials at the Elecro works in Hertfordshire, England.

The heat exchanger construction gives a vast heat transfer surface area, consisting of a densely populated multi-tubular bundle, secured by the uniquely designed polyamide-rubber tube sheet. The heat exchanger shell is constructed from BS 316 Stainless Steel – enclosed by a rigid thermal shell for enhanced insulation of the primary (HOT) water enabling even greater heat transfer; this is capped at each end with primary and secondary moulded fittings manufactured from specially formulated polymer alloy material.

The standard G2 heat exchanger is supplied complete with:

• 2 x 1″ male/male Brass primary connections
• 1 x 1″ Brass Non-return valve
• 1 x Titanium thermostat pocket
• 1 x Blanking cap & coin gasket (for non-thermostat side)

The Elecro G2 heat exchanger has been designed to allow the installation engineer to select which way to plumb the primary and secondary water to achieve maximum thermal gain; this is achieved by routing the primary (HOT) flow in an opposing direction to the secondary (POOL) water.

Operation

The Elecro G2 heat exchanger is installed in the pool filtration circuit from which water passes through the tube side of the exchanger. Water from the primary heating circuit flows counter-current through the shell side of the exchanger, heating the swimming pool water.

Elecro heat exchangers are ideal for use with gas or oil fired boiler circuits, solar panels, heat pumps or chillers.

“We have used Plastica for their pool covers for many years and always found them to be reliable. Plastica were the only company that could help us with manufacturing a very large winter debris cover for Wentworth’s outdoor pool -as it is over 30m in length. It fits perfectly, came at a fair price and the Plastica team were very helpful, as always.”

UNI KART is the fruit of Hexagone’s research and development department and has obtained an international patent. Approved by the APAVE, it is the first ever dual security dipper pool lift without a motor or hydraulic system.

Without a battery to recharge or heavy hoist to position, not even a need to be anchored in the ground, it can be used at anytime, anywhere around the pool. The expertise in terms of value for money, has already ranked this UNI KART lift as the best offer on the market.

The main objective was to make all pools accessible to disabled persons or those with reduced mobility such as the elderly, for example, whilst limiting expenses for the community.

uniKART is available from Plastica in 2012 contact customer services on 01424 857802 for more details

Plastica has developed the ultimate quick reference guide to help the pool and spa trade to save an enormous amount of time working out which cartridges are compatible. You will never want to lose it!

Cale Sinfield, Customer Services and Marketing Manager at Plastica, said “We want to help pool and spa shops to be able to quickly cross-reference the filter cartridges for Unicel and Filbur with Pleatco.  You can search by product size, code and filter manufacturer.” 

Plastica is an approved UK distributor for Pleatco cartridges.  The quick reference guide also provides tips on how to easily identify your filter cartridge.

Cale added “We have decided to stock a large amount of Pleatco cartridges so that we can quickly supply our customers.  Pleatco is now recognised as the leading cartridge supplier due to their new technology, 100% customer satisfaction guarantee and the fact that there are no minimum orders.”

Pleatco cartridges use Reemay Filtration Media and Microban® antimicrobial protection to filter out contaminants and inhibit bacteria growth continuously for the lifetime of your cartridge.  Pleatco are the only filter cartridges to harness this technology in both the media and end cap.

The Pleatco catalogue and quick reference guide is free to the trade.  It can be requested by calling 01424 857802, emailing filters@plasticapools.net, via Facebook ‘Plasticapools’ or twitter @plasticapools, as well as via the Plastica website www.plasticapools.net.
