#BESTAUSSIESELFIE

As Australia’s favourite pool cover, we want to create genuine reasons for customers to engage with you and to choose to buy their pool covers and rollers from you, our valued Daisy Experts.

To help us do this, and following the success of last year’s Best Splash Challenge, we’re set to kick off a brand new Aussie inspired summer campaign.

Commencing 1st November, the Daisy BEST AUSSIE SELFIE Challenge –#bestaussieselfie – will launch nationally through social media and backed by online advertising and point of sale material for you. Designed to help you sell more, it brings Daisy to the forefront as Australia’s favourite pool cover – sold by you!

With some great prizes and a lot of fun, 2015/ 16 is set to be a truly amazing Aussie summer season for us all. The #bestaussieselfie campaign will help you start the conversation and get social with your customers – offline and online.

#bestaussieselfie Explained
The campaign will run over three months from 1 November 2015 to Australia Day – 26 January 2016 via Facebook and Instagram. We will start with the teaser through digital promotions and advertising from the 1st October.

To enter, participants hashtag their best Aussie selfie photo or video with #bestaussieselfie, upload onto the Daisy Pool Covers Facebook page and/ or Instagram, and get lots of ‘likes’ to be in the running to win each month an Apple Watch and $500 worth of pool maintenance and supplies from their local Daisy Expert! How cool is that!

Like last year, Daisy will pay for the Apple Watches, and we’ll pay for the $500 each month to be spent in your store. You will get all the publicity and business if they live near you! Visit the bestaussieselfie.com.au page on our website for the official rules and more information.

This summer promotion is on trend and fun! It helps build interest into our market sector and drive sales. We hope you’ll support this by promoting and encouraging entry with your customers – after all, if they win, you get the business and the extra publicity!

Daisy Poll Covers - Australia's Favourite

Pool covers that will make it onto your customer’s wish list

Posted on

The latest S8+ Titanium covers will woo anyone this summer!

With pool technology rapidly improving, pool cover aesthetics have also come a long way. It’s time to throw away any stigma attached to using outdated – has-been – pool covers and get with the times.

Daisy’s latest UltraDome+™ Titanium pool covers may just woo your customers and make their way onto their wish list this summer season! The S8+ Titanium range offers a modern and sophisticated design to complement latest pool landscapes and fittings and its many additional benefits make it much easier to sell to your customers. Are you familiar with these benefits?

 

The UltraDome+ Titanium range – S8+TB and S8+TG

The new UltraDome+ Titanium range not only utilises the UltraDome bubble technology, it has been designed and tested to let the maximum amount of the sun’s energy through and less out.

A winning layer combination

The sun’s energy needs to be able to pass easily through the transparent material to enter the water. The less energy being used to pass through, the more energy there is available to warm the water. The UltraDome+ clear top and translucent bottom is a winning layer combination as both layers allow maximum sun energy to pass through without interruption.

How does the UltraDome+ Titanium range compare with other covers on the market?

Daisy Pool Covers Series 8 Pool Cover Features

We love hearing your feedback!

Thank you! We’ve received an overwhelming response so far with lots of photos of the new UltraDome+ Titanium pool cover installations being posted on Facebook and photos and feedback being emailed directly to us. It’s been an encouraging start to the launch of the new range which is gearing up towards a huge demand for the S8+TB and S8+TG covers over the summer. They’re available now! Just make an order online using your Expert Login.

In the name of innovation

Check out our new product upgrades:

S8 SB Silver Back: As this range is fast becoming obsolete it will be discontinued within the next month due to huge demand for the latest UltraDome+ Titanium range.

S8 SS Solar Screen: With the UltraDome+ Titanium technology, Daisy is currently designing and testing a product upgrade of this solar screen range.

Advances with the new non-heating technology are:

  • a new non-heating opaque material
  • with evaporation and a unique cooling control
  • a new desirable appearance for the warmer climates; or for Aussies who just want to keep their pool cooler, or even to have a better external heating control over the pool temperature.

This S8 SS Solar Screen product upgrade should be available to your customers by the New Year. Stay tuned for more details; or feel free to catch up with your Daisy Area Manager for updates.

It’s in the detail

We take care of the little things…

It’s the little things that make Daisy… Daisy. We’re passionate about what we do and don’t believe in a set and forget attitude. We’re constantly listening to you and actively evaluating the products we make and supply to ensure you and your customers are getting the very best quality product.

When we hear or see an opportunity to improve, we act on it! This is one of the many reasons that we can proudly stand behind the products we supply and give you the very best service.

With the launch of the new Series 8 UltraDome+ Titanium range it is probably worth looking back over the last year or so and share some of the finer improvements we have made that you may not have even noticed that keep Daisy industry leading and Australia’s favourite pool covers and rollers.

Little improvements we’ve made:

  • WinterKleen Cord and Fittings: Upgraded cord to 8 plat PP Australian made cord. We used to use a nylon ski rope that we found could slip through the fitting clamp so we sourced a better quality Aussie product that does not slip and is easier on your hand to use.

WinterKleen Cord and Fittings

  • WinterKleen Thread: We have ensured all WinterKleen thread used in our sewing machine utilises a special Teflon thread. This is hugely expensive however we know the thread will not fail. Thread failure was a problem with WinterKleens as they sit in or very close to the water and once the thread fails, the cover comes apart.
  • Pool Cover Master-Batch Compound: Upgraded the pool cover master-batch compound to make it slightly more pliable.
  • UTC Roller Tubes: All UTC roller tubes are now anodised. The anodising protects the tubes making them look nicer for longer and don’t discolour.
  • UTC Tube Sets: All UTC tuber sets now come with stainless steel self-drilling screws. To make installation quicker and easier no longer do you have to drill then drive in a screw, all UTC rollers are now standard with self-drilling screws.
  • Roller Range End Slugs: The entire roller range has been updated with solid end slugs with retaining bolt and washers. We have upgraded the end slugs from the hollow style with an internal retaining cap that could (over time) walk out, and from time to time during transportation could get damaged; to a solid shaft that has a thread in the end, that a 8mm stainless bolt and retaining washer can be securely fastened to.

Daisy Axle Holder

  • Over-Cover Material Now Australian Made. Daisy has been able to negotiate with an Australian manufacturer to make our over-cover material base stock, giving you and your customers a locally made top quality product. All 5 star over-covers are pre-made to the roller tube size.
  • 5 Star Roller Tubes Pre-Assembles Fixed Length Tube. This is nothing new but is so special giving you a fixed length roller tube that is totally pre-assembled making it a stronger, better roller tube not to mention installation is almost too quick and easy.
  • All Roller-Cover Connection Cords Australian Made. Once again nothing new here, but these are such good quality we know you won’t have a problem because we have been using these for over 30 years now.
  • Pre-Cut Measure and Remeasure. Constant pre-cut measure and remeasure of pool shells to make sure data is as accurate as possible. 

If you have any questions or feedback on any of these products improvements please get in touch with us directly or contact your Daisy Area Manager anytime. We’re here to help you.

Springtime… here comes the sun!

Posted on

Six steps for getting pool ready this spring.

With the amazing spring time sunshine we’ve had lately, now is time we shake off our winter woollies and trade the indoors for the fresh, breathtakingly beautiful Aussie outdoors.

It’s also time to start getting your pool ready for swimming. Not all of us may want to pull the Daisy cover off and jump in just yet however one of these fine weekends, it’s worth checking your pool to see just what is going on.

The water may look clean, but let’s check it first. You have two options here; start testing and adjusting the water chemistry yourself, or just take a water sample down to your local pool shop for some expert advice.

Expert Tip: If you’re going to get advice, get it from one source as conflicting advice can be given when they don’t have the whole picture.

The cheapest and easiest way to maintain your pool is to keep your water chemistry in order year round. With all the rain over the winter, your pool water has been heavily diluted. Without a bather load or debris in the pool it may look crystal clear however it most probably has next to no chemicals in the water.

Make sure all your pool equipment is at the ready and no one has used the pool brush to sweep the driveway or the telescopic pole as a limbo bar. You want to make sure your telescopic pole, vacuum head and hose, skimmer head, brush and test kit are all in order and operational.

As soon as you, your family or visitors start swimming and the outside temperature rises, you may find your water chemical levels imbalance quite quickly.

Get pool ready, now.

Opening your pool in the lead up to summer should be a low stress, highly anticipated event for the entire family. Assuming you’ve done some winter preparation by covering the pool and protecting the pump, your pool’s opening day should proceed free of trouble.

What you’ll need

  • Leaf blower (or broom)
  • Water source and hose
  • pH pool test kit
  • Pool filter
  • Pool chemicals.

What you need to do: Six Easy Steps

These should get you and your pool ready for a whole summer of Marco Polo and diving for dollars.

  1. Remove Leaves and Winter Debris. You may encounter winter residual leaves, dirt, and general weather build-up on and around the pool. Before removing the cover, blow any leaves or debris off the pool cover and the surrounding deck or patio.
  2. Remove the Pool Cover. Once you remove the cover, take the time to clean it properly before storing. If you have the space, spread out the cover and spray it off with the highest pressure your hose allows.
  3. Check the Water Level. Check the skimmer water level. For the pump to function properly, the water needs to be in the middle of the skimmer opening for proper circulation. Add or remove water accordingly. While waiting for the pool to fill, check and test all handrails, ladders, diving boards, and slides for loose bolts or other potentially unsafe conditions.
  4. Clean and Prepare the Pump. Check to see that all equipment is in working condition. Check hoses, pumps, and filters according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Start the circulation system and allow it to run for eight to 12 hours.
  5. Check the Chemical Levels. After the eight to 12-hour run time, check the pH level, total alkalinity, hardness of water due to calcium, chlorine and so on. Fill the test tube from your test kit with water retrieved from at least 400mm below the surface. Collect your sample away from the pump inlet. Add the test-specific amount of agent and cap tube and shake. Do not cover the tube with your finger. Oils introduced from your hand can compromise the results. Add chemicals in proper order to balance the water.
  6. Take Inventory of Supplies and Safety Measures. Check all support and safety items related to pool safety. Do you have a first aid kit fully stocked and within easy reach? Is your cleaning equipment in working order? Is the gate and latch secure to prevent accidental access or to secure the pool when you are away on holiday or business?

 

Remember if you need a hand, your local pool expert is there to help. They have the experience to check your pool and equipment to make sure it is fit to swim in. You may even find it cheaper and easier to get the experts in to check it all for you.

All the best with it!
