To the Pool & Spa Industry, April 2008
We are pleased to announce that The Ozone Layer (incorporating Hi-Tech Pacific Australasia) has been appointed as a Distributor for Accent Heat Pumps and Dehumidifiers. The Accent range of Heat Pumps includes 21 standard models from the HWP8 with 8kw output at 15°C to the HWP250 with an impressive 240kw output in winter. Accent is also able to custom-manufacture, giving us the unique ability to provide tailored solutions to site issues such as plant room restrictions or noise constraints. Accent has built a reputation over the last 15 years of providing Australia’s highest quality commercial specifsication and these larger units can be found at The Australian Institute of Sport, Noosa Aquatic Centre, Outrigger Resort Cairns, Ayres Rock Resort, Shepparton Aquatic Centre, Padua College, Bangkok Aquatic Centre and the Roman Baths Launceston to name but a few of the hundreds of locations around Australia and Asia. Accent is keenly competitive in the domestic market with its BB Series, featuring a compact twin variable-speed fan design, titanium heat exchanger, low noise and high efficiency.
Through the successful acquisition of Accent by Rheem Australia, Rheem have emerged as the dominant player in the Pool & Spa water heating market. When congratulating The Ozone Layer on its appointment Trevor Llewellyn, Qld State Manager-Pool Products Rheem said, “Adding the Accent Heat Pumps to the existing Raypak Gas Heater business of The Ozone Layer is a great match for Rheem, The Ozone Layer and the industry, as it will not only increase their range and continue our growth in market share but also provide a focus point for the industry looking for service, advice and products. As Accent is Australian made, pool builders know that they will receive the highest quality, with reliable ratings on performance and efficiency. Built to Australian conditions, with direct access to the designers and factory technicians, allows the back-up support of a major manufacturing plant, with stock of all parts and a long established service network”.
The addition of the Accent Heat Pumps to the existing range of Raypak Gas Heaters and Del Ozone Ozonator compliments the acquisition of the Ultramax Robotic Pool Cleaner’s sales and service for Queensland late last year. Phillip Green and Paul Weston of The Ozone Layer with over 35 years of experience between them in the Pool & Spa industry would welcome any enquires about the exciting new products and look forward to continuing to be of service to the industry.
