Water Saving
Product
Winner: Waterco for the
Multicyclone
(see SPLASH! Environmental
Product of the Year)
Finalist: AIS for the
Ecoline product
Low TDS in the water means poolwater
doesn’t need dilution and
backwash water can be easily
recycled.
Finalist: Elite for the
Hideaway product.
By enabling the cover to be
hidden in the deck, soft pool
covers become more attractive
to pool owners.
Encouragement Award: Ecos
for the Backwash Filter
A backwash filter system which
enables the re-use of backwash
water in the pool. The judges
believe it is worth keeping an
eye on.
Mention: AIS for Autochlor
Enables the use of salt water
for filling and topping up pools
– excellent idea but limited
market.
Mechanical
Product
Winner: Davey for Silensor
Davey’s water cooled Silensor pump is super quiet (typically below
56 dBa), making it suitable for use at night. This means that in applicable
areas, the pump’s energy requirements can be drawn from
off peak tariffs. Not only does this save money for the pool owners,
it also reduces the load on the power stations at the critical peak
times. The pump achieves its low noise ability by using a small flow
of water around the stainless steel motor shell, which absorbs the
vibrations. Additionally, it does not need a fan, which is normally a
big contributor to noise.
Finalist: Toyesi for
the Multi Function
Heat Pump.
Enables space cooling,
ventilation, pool heating
and energy recovery at
the same time.
Finalist: Air Change
for Poolpac
A heat exchanger system
enabling a halving
of the AC plant on a
typical indoor public
pool project.
Sanitisation
Product
Winner: AIS for Ecoline
A highly innovative Australian
product enabling
the generation of chlorine
from the existing level of
natural salts and minerals
already present in fresh
water. It saves chemicals
as no chlorine or salt is
required; saves water as
backwash can be used
directly in irrigation; and
uses 60 per cent less
energy than a typical chlorinator
system.
Finalist: AIS for
Autochlor
Sanitisation system
generating chlorine
from sea water – an excellent
idea but limited
market.
Lighting
Product
Winner: Waterco
for Britestream
The Britestream provides
ample illumination for
swimming pools – only using
15 per cent of the energy of
an equivalent halogen light.
The super bright LEDs are
capable of delivering up to 352
lumens of light (for the white
LED) while operating on only
15 watts of energy. Additionally,
each LED has a lifespan of
more than 70,000 hours (up to 35 times longer than a halogen light),
reducing replacement needs and associated costs.
