On the cover of this edition

A "Moment with" the Aquacomet "family": Exceptionally, this "Moment with" does not focus on a single individual, but on the Kovács family behind Aquacomet: Róbert, his sons Lorand and Akos, as well as Ghada Ben Abdallah, who is in charge of key accounts and the French market.
Several members of the team have a legal background, and Akos also plays a strategic role within the company as a member of the board. During a two-day visit to Hungary, EuroSpaPoolNews had the opportunity to discover Aquacomet's world and tour one of the most impressive production facilities in the industry.

Feature dossier

Why should you implement efficient solutions for your clients? The central feature continues the reflection initiated in the previous issue on efficient pool solutions. Structure, water treatment, lighting, filtration pumps and hydraulic systems: what exactly does standard NF EN 17645 require, and how can professionals increase their turnover by offering high-value equipment?

Technical focus

Employers' obligations regarding electrical safety... with a quiz to test your knowledge: Electrical standards for swimming pools are mandatory. Standard NF C15-100 governs installations, with section 702 specifically dedicated to pools, while NF C 18-510 defines safety measures for electrical work and requires BR certification for troubleshooting operations, which must be renewed every three years.
Despite these obligations, many companies remain non-compliant without realising it. In the event of an electrical hazard, the company manager's criminal liability may be engaged. This article provides a detailed overview of employers' responsibilities.
