February 27th, 2026

SPLASH! is seeking input for Edition 165 – including news, new product information and contributions to our feature articles. Take the opportunity to get involved!

This edition we’re looking at:

The new look pool cleaner market

Following the disruption from cordless robotic pool cleaners, we investigate what effect the technological revolution has had on the entire swimming pool cleaner market, from suction cleaners all the way to infloor systems.

Pool pump rebates

We look at the reasons for and the effectiveness of energy efficient pool pump rebates, and ask if the measurement for rebates is defined clearly enough. We also look at the effects of the new “free power” in the middle of the day for running pool pump equipment.

Pool techs and liability

What should pool service technicians do if they observe non-compliant properties, and are they at risk of liability if they don’t report them?

Hospitality, Airbnb and liability

What is the legal standing of hotels and small hospitality venues such as Airbnb if the water quality of their swimming pools is not up to scratch?

UPCOMING FEATURE:

Fibreglass innovation and expansion

In an upcoming two-part feature in the near future we will look at the development of fibreglass and composite swimming pools and how they have come to dominate the Australian pool landscape, the innovation that is leading their popularity, and the Australian product’s increasing popularity in foreign markets, particularly in the US and Europe.
