When Size Matters – Leading the Commercial Sector

Posted on

Daisy is Australia’s largest supplier of commercial pool covers and rollers with over 30 years’ experience in this sector. “We have always brought to the table well researched and tested products. For the commercial sector, it is important that we not only understand the market trends in design and technology but that we translate this to cost efficiency through improved product quality and deliver the service expected” said Managing Director, Derek Prince.

Brett will be supported by the existing Daisy team including Area Managers. Shannon Prince will step up to the role of NSW (South) & Victorian Area Manager. The positive is that our retailers have more support available when needed, along with specialist skills.

White and Brittle – When a Pool Cover has had its Day

Posted on

Why has the pool cover gone white and brittle? This is an image of an extreme example of a pool cover that has been damaged by chlorine that has gone white and brittle. It will even start to disintegrate when it reaches the end of its life span. Daisy’s Ultradome technology helps it kick on but what’s next?

See the cover pictured? It has been so badly bleached with chlorine that it has gone almost completely white!

Trademarked technology working to the end

Daisy’s trademarked Ultradome technology ensures that there are not weak points if properly installed and used. Without any weak points, the Daisy Ultradome wears out evenly so the cover continues to be effective, even in situations like this when the cover has been drastically over chlorinated.

Notice how the bubbles on the underside of the pool cover have not ‘popped’ out the base of the bubble leaving tell-tale little disk’s in the pool? With the trademarked technology, they have worn away evenly giving it the longest possible usable life.

Eventually however, all pool covers will have to be replaced irrespective of Daisy’s quality. For further information, please contact us.

New ThermoTech Insulating Foam Range

Posted on

With innovation and continuous improvement at its core, Daisy has always brought to the table well researched and tested products. After extensive R&D, we are pleased to announce the launch of the new 4.5mm thick foam range of pool covers suitable for both residential and commercial pools.

Continuous improvement in quality

Representing a 50% increase in thickness from the current 3mm product, the new product will increase thermal resistance (R value) and also durability.

Maintained in the same superior physically crosslinked polyolefin foam sandwiched between two layers of UV stabilised, polyethylene based polyfabric Canvacon film – making the cover reversible in the right installations. The layers are flame bonded (top and bottom) together and are extremely resistant to delamination, even at high temperatures.

The closed cell foam layer provides excellent insulation and water repellence properties and is resistant to chemical degradation; while the outer woven layers gives the pool cover its superior strength and durability.

The composite is free of heavy metals, plasticisers and CFCs and has a working temperature range of -40C degrees to +70C degrees.

Style and colour

Style and colour are important features in pool covers as they are a very visible part of pool areas. With this in mind, the Thermotech comes in three fashionable colours:


  • TTB – 4.5mm Thermotech Foam Blue

  • TTG – 4.5mm Thermotech Foam Green

  • TTS – 4.5mm Thermotech Foam Silver

Entry and Exit

The current 3mm ThermoTech covers will be phased out but the great news for everyone is that while we phase out the 3mm, we will be supplying all Thermotech Foam orders in the new 4.5mm at the same price as the old 3mm cover! New 4.5mm prices will be in place when we issue a new Year Book in 2018.

 

The Extra Mile in Quality and Service

Posted on

Over the years, Daisy has covered a lot of pools, refining our processes to make it easier to order, install and use. We’ve also added services, products and finishes providing greater flexibility, and to go the extra mile in quality and service.

Some of the extras services we can provide are:

The special fit for special shapes & sizes – custom covers cut to any size, shape, water line or upturn.

Like a lot of things, it starts with preparation.

  1. Once we know the pool measurements and type, a 3D point capturing device is used to plot for fibreglass pools or a 2-point measuring system to triangulate a pool for greater accuracy.
  2. The plan is then emailed for approval
  3. Once approved, all measurements re-plotted and pre-cut using a robotic pre-cut machine. The cover is now ready.

The benefits:

  • Easier installation (even with limited access to the pool)
  • Better fit to the pool.

Edge bind with a PVC coloured edges to one, two, three sides or all around.

  • Looks more aesthetically pleasing
  • Protects any edges that get extra wear
  • Stops tearing if there’s a cut e.g. for a hand rail.

Edge bind with a black woven edge.

  • Easier to handle
  • Looks better

Wind skirt with a black woven edge – with a lead core rope encased to pull the edge of the pool cover just under water.

  • Stops the wind lifting the cover (especially for multiple covers on one pool or covers that don’t cover the whole pool)
  • Holds the cover in place if there’s an infinity or overflow edge (the wind skirting sits below the waterline with the water flowing through the woven webbing)

And more!

We can also:

  • Build in pull cords to fold over sections
  • Attach over covers
  • Add hinge foam for step areas
  • Reinforce or sew extra material as wear strips.
  • Install floats
  • Build in pockets with harnesses and commercial haul cords.

Quality and Service

Daisy uses only the very best Teflon thread to protect against failures. All sewing generally outlasts our pool covers!
