Thermal and Solar Pool Covers December 03 2016, 0 Comments

Triple Cell Pool Cover

 ORDER IN STORE NOW!

Don't buy old technology, insist on the ultra new Triple Cell solar pool blanket.

  • Performance - large purpose designed solar cells provide greater heat insulation
  • Designed and manufactured in Australia, proven in the world’s harshest conditions
  • Easier to operate, easier on the eye 

The ultra new Triple Cell solar pool blanket - A giant leap forward.

SOLAR BLANKETS REDESIGNED
Triple Cell is the first purpose designed and manufactured pool blanket... It breaks away from the traditional 'bubble' style and takes solar blankets to a new level.

TRIPLE CELL® REDEFINES ‘SOLAR’
Triple Cell® provides better all round insulating performance due to its greater "still air zone”. Its unique cell design also offers more protection from chlorine attack and harmful UV rays.

TRIPLE CELL® IS THICKER… UP TO 60% THICKER ON THE BASE
The Triple Cell® uses 610 micron plastic. The manufacturing process then ensures a more uniform thickness at the side, top and base of the cell - unlike standard bubbles where the thickness can be inconsistent causing lower life expectancy.

TRIPLE CELL® SITS FLATTER
Triple Cell® lays flatter on the pool surface giving a better looking pool cover.

Saltsafe® & Chlorsafe®
New technology is incorporated in the ultra new Triple Cell® Solar Pool Blanket to improve the covers ability to handle the demands of aggressive pool environments

TRIPLE CELL® HAS A SMOOTHER UNDER SIDE
Triple Cell® has a unique bubble shape that makes it easier to drag covers over pool walls and lane markers. It is also easier for automatic cleaners to work beneath the cover.

A longer life & Better Performance.

    Meet Murray Hall - owner / operator of The Pool Shop January 13 2014, 0 Comments


    Murray Hall

    Murray’s background started in Wellington, New Zealand, where he was born and raised. His first role saw him working as a self-employed Silicon Maintenance Engineer (that’s just a fancy name for window cleaner) and he certainly has some fun stories to tell about those days. He then moved into the wholesale food industry working for Foodstuffs in various roles over a seven year period. His last role was as a Marketing consultant, which he left (in 2005) in order to move with his family to Tauranga.

    Shortly after arriving in Tauranga, Murray and his wife Kerryann purchased a distribution franchise through New Zealand Post, which they successfully ran together. This led to them wanting to manage their own business, one which had a strong customer service focus. When they saw that The Pool Shop had come up for sale they jumped at the opportunity. Being involved with The Pool Shop gives Murray the opportunity to provide a quality, qualified service to new and existing customers in the Bay of Plenty region. He understands that to meet customers’ needs The Pool Shop need to stock a wide range of products and offer a one stop shop for everything to do with swimming and spa pools. He also ensures that all staff are fully trained and qualified, working to professional standards that his customers can trust.

    Murray has a New Zealand Diploma in Business. In 2012 he completed a three part intensive Pool Water Treatment and Operations Course through Opus and he has an excellent knowledge of water treatment and chemical balancing. He continues to up-skill himself and regularly attends educational courses to keep up to date with the latest technologies. Murray has a very strong technical and practical aptitude and since being trained by an experienced pump repairer he has quickly become an expert at pump repairs.

    On a personal note, Murray is married to Kerryann Hall, (co-owner of The Pool Shop) and they have two beautiful girls, Tyler and Jade, which they are both extremely proud of. In his spare time Murray enjoys playing golf and taking his boat out fishing. The Hall family enjoys an active lifestyle and likes to make the most of all that the Bay of Plenty has to offer, including the beaches and outdoor lifestyle.

    Come in store to talk to Murray about any of your spa or swimming pool queries,
    or pick up the phone and call  027 234 2349 or 07 571 2228

    Eliminate 'black spot' before summer starts. June 26 2013, 0 Comments

     

    The tenants had moved out of this property and the pool looked like a swamp.  It was covered in black algae which is notoriously difficult to get rid of.  One of our experienced pool technicians spent hours water blasting and acid washing the pool and surrounds.  Once clean we were able to complete a Valet and balance it with chemicals.  See the amazing difference - and look, no more black spot!
