Australia’s pool industry has shifted of late to focus primarily on smaller, more automated pools with a variety of features and additions. These trends, coupled with widespread skills shortages, supply disruptions, and a huge increase in demand due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, has created the perfect storm for business owners throughout the country. Mr. Del Borrello elaborates, “The biggest challenge for us right now is working with plots of land that are continuously decreasing in size. Essentially, clients want more and more features with less and less space. So our design capabilities have had to adapt to that, and our sites have to be managed as efficiently as possible to accommodate. And because of COVID, we are unable to rely on skilled workers coming in from overseas, so every member of our industry is working on overdrive right developed to produce optimal water quality without the use of harsh chemicals or cleaners, Mr. Del Borrello explains. “Probably 80% or our sales are for freshwater pools with mineral packages. There’s a big move towards clean, chemical-free water that is extremely safe and requires minimal maintenance. Water that is fresh, soft, with the ideal mineral and pH levels, safe, and heated. In these pools, you can come right out and don’t need to have a shower, etc. So it’s a far cry from the chlorine-heavy pools that leave you smelling like chemicals, damage your hair, and leave chemicals on your skin that you need to wash off.” In addition to mineral technology, Factory Pools Perth promotes pool management systems such as SplashMe, an Australian owned and manufactured automation and monitoring system that allows pool owners to run pumps and cleaners efficiently, manage multiple heat sources, control spa and water feature functions, schedule lighting, and more- all from their phone. SplashMe can be installed for use with any pool or pump, in existing or FACTORY POOLS PERTH Green Star Solutions offers a wide range of ecologically friendly solar solutions for home, swimming pools and commercial applications.
