TRICOFLEX is expanding its SPIRABEL® BALNÉO range with two complementary solutions: SPIRABEL® BALNÉO ANTI-CHLORE and SPIRABEL® BALNÉO ANTI-TERMITES. Alongside the standard hose, already well established on the market, these two new versions are designed to meet the specific demands of underground swimming pool and balneotherapy installations.The aim is to give installers and distributors the flexibility to choose the right hose for the operating conditions and specific requirements of each project.
Why choose a hose specifically designed for underground swimming pool installations?
Hoses designed for swimming pool installations must meet a number of requirements, including mechanical strength, compatibility with fittings and a design suited to the demands of underground hydraulic networks.
The SPIRABEL® BALNÉO range features a construction combining a flexible PVC wall with a rigid, impact-resistant PVC helix. Its reinforced spiral structure provides good resistance to crushing, suction and pressure applications.
The precise outside diameter ensures compatibility with swimming pool fittings, while the smooth inner wall helps minimise water stagnation and microbial growth. Manufactured in France, the range is developed with a strong focus on reliability and the quality control of raw materials.
These features form the common foundation of all three solutions. The difference lies in their ability to meet specific environmental challenges.
Three versions to meet the specific requirements of every installation
Underground swimming pool networks can be exposed to differents external factors. Chemical treatments can accelerate material ageing, while termites pose a risk in certain areas. To address these specific challenges, TRICOFLEX offers three complementary versions.
SPIRABEL® BALNEO: the solution for standard operating conditions
Already part of the TRICOFLEX range, SPIRABEL® BALNÉO is designed for installations operating under standard conditions. It is the range’s reference solution for swimming pool networks and balneotherapy applications where no additional specific protection is required.
SPIRABEL® BALNÉO ANTI-CHLORE: enhanced protection against chemical exposure
Which hose should you choose for a swimming pool network exposed to intensive chemical treatments? SPIRABEL® BALNÉO ANTI-CHLORE has been developed to meet this specific requirement.
Its key feature is a blue inner layer designed to provide enhanced protection against chemical exposure. This version is suitable for environments using salt water, shock treatments or enhanced disinfection systems. Its flexibility makes installation easier and allows for quick fitting, even in cold weather conditions.
For installers and distributors, SPIRABEL® BALNÉO ANTI-CHLORE is therefore a solution worth considering whenever water treatment conditions require particular care in hose selection.
SPIRABEL® BALNEO ANTI-TERMITES: protection for infested areas
In areas exposed to termites, underground networks require particular attention to minimise the risk of damage and unexpected maintenance work.
SPIRABEL® BALNÉO ANTI-TERMITES incorporates an anti-termite additive directly into the PVC compound, providing protection throughout the entire material thickness, backed by a 12-year guarantee. The product also complies with ISO 3994.
It also features a blue inner PVC layer specially formulated to provide enhanced resistance to chlorine. This version offers professionals a solution specifically designed for underground networks in termite-prone areas, without compromising on chemical resistance.
