Free pool of knowledge

Energy-saving will also be a major topic in the show's very popular double seminar programme. SPATEX is widely recognised as providing the best source of free information in the industry and it's thanks to the tremendous support of a large number of  esteemed associations - namely, Institute of Swimming Pool Engineers (ISPE), Swimming Teachers Association (STA), Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS), Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group (PWTAG), Water Management Society (WMSoc), Legionella Control Association (LCA), Institute of Swimming (IoS) and, of course, the British Swimming Pool Federation's SPATA (Swimming Pool & Allied Trades Association) and BISHTA (British & Irish Spa & Hot Tub Association). Combined, they bring their individual knowledge to create a varied programme of seminars that combines hands-on practical advice with technical know-how plus, essential health and safety guidance and compliance.
