Chris Miller and Arthur Lathouris from AILDM will provide introductory comments relating to design requirements from local government for swimming pools and the process and pitfalls of design specification required to ensure the desired design outcome for clients.
Speaker One
Manfred Wiesemes, president of SPASA will give an overview on the current state of the swimming pool industry. With on-going water restrictions and a continuing drought, the public has experienced a change in perception about the value of swimming pools. The industry has had to adapt and rise to the challenge of being more environmentally friendly and working with new swimming pool regulations and controls.
Speaker Two
Anthony Cross and Dave Turner from Compass Pools Australia present an overview of their experiences as a national commercial and residential pool company. They discuss their adaptation to change and the new technologies and product innovations being developed in response to current public perception and industry regulations.
Anthony Cross is Manager of Business Development for Compass Pools Australia. Dave Turner is responsible for Commercial Projects for Compass Pools Australia, and has worked in the pool industry for over 20 years.
Speaker Three
Ian Boulter from Aquaviva Australia provides an insight into the future direction of swimming pools and ‘green technology’. His focus will be on innovations in pool filtration allowing for the creation of ecosystems for naturalistic landscape design in swimming pool projects.
Ian Boulter is the Australian Agent for Blue Base, a bio filter company which invented bio pools. This eco-friendly method of filtering water eliminates the need for chemicals and achieves drinkable water quality.
