Equipment for public swimming pools is
very complex and governed by a substantial
range of standards (FIN, FINA) that must
be complied with fully.
In fact most of the equipment concerns
items used for competition purposes: starting
blocks, turning plates, diving boards,
lane markers and backstroke turn and false
start indicators. Other equipment such
as pool edge gratings, ladders, grab rails,
moveable bulkheads, moveable swimming
pool floors and anchorages for lane markers
have less binding characteristics.
Leader in this market in Italy and in
Europe, Patentverwag Italia produces extremely
successful ranges of products.
A few figures:
Twenty thousand metres of lane markers
a year, thirty thousand metres of pool
edge grating, 600-700 starting blocks,
hundreds of ladders, dozens of Olympic
diving boards, not to mention the anchorages
for lanes and indicators.
These figures include three types of starting
blocks, 8 different lane lines, twenty-one
models of pool edge grating including
roll-up, bending and straight types, etc.
The diving boards produced in the two
heights provided for by the standards,
i.e. 3 m. and 1 m., feature important
finishes and are made using the highest
quality, sturdy, corrosion resistant materials.
The same also applies to the bulkheads
that are finished with care for every
detail and the moveable swimming pool
floors produced in two alternative versions:
moveable floors with fixed or adjustable
height.
A complete range of products representing
the result of thirty years' experience
and constant research into top quality
that has led to: reliability, durability
and the highest level of aesthetic design.
