Fifty years of innovation at Aqua Technics Pools: an interview with Grace Everitt


The SPATEX show is celebrating its thirtieth edition in Coventry this year. This is the perfect occasion for Aqua Technics Pools to mark an even more impressive milestone as the company celebrates half a century of existence. During an exclusive interview held at their stand, Grace Everitt spoke with us about this exceptional longevity and the profound changes in the British pool market.


The success of Aqua Technics Pools since 1976 is rooted above all in a human journey. Throughout our conversation, Grace Everitt highlighted the importance of the vision shared by Lew Beale and Lynley Papineau who established a strong corporate culture from the start. By focusing on the loyalty of their teams, they created an environment of trust that is still felt today by every dealer. This philosophy of mutual growth allows the brand to remain a leader in the fiberglass industry without ever sacrificing product quality.

The evolution of the pool as a wellness destination


The way families use their pools has also evolved significantly over the decades. During our exchange, Grace Everitt noted that in Australia, swimming is deeply embedded in the culture because people often learn to swim before they can even walk.

While a pool was once seen as a mere status symbol in the United Kingdom, the COVID period changed everything. Homeowners are now committed to transforming their homes into true holiday destinations. The pool has become an essential well-being space to disconnect from daily life and strengthen family bonds.

On the technical side, Aqua Technics Pools stands out through patented technologies that ensure the longevity of their pools. Grace Everitt explained how the Pool ColourGuard process allows a vibrant color to be maintained despite exposure to UV rays. Additionally, the integration of Graphene Nano-tech offers unique structural strength.

These Australian engineering choices optimize the swimming area with straight walls and submerged benches that perfectly meet the expectations of today’s customers.

The future of the brand is now being shaped by sustainability. Ecology plays a central role in the company’s thinking, whether during manufacturing or for pool maintenance. Aqua Technics Pools is notably “working with suppliers of’  freshwater treatment sanitisetion systems because the ability to have low chemicals and gentler on the skin. This shift toward greener production represents the major Aspiration for the next fifty years according to the director.

To conclude our discussion, Grace Everitt wanted to acknowledge the work of her dealers present at the show. Their feedback from the field is essential to allow the brand to constantly improve.

The success of Aqua Technics Pools ultimately rests on the shared pleasure of working with passionate people. The ambition for the decades to come remains the same as the company wishes to continue innovating while staying close to its partners and customers.
