Aquavic manufactures and services ionisers for swimming pools, spas and water features.
Swimming in an ionised pool is the closest that you will ever come to swimming in your own private mountain stream.
No chlorine - No salt - No bromine - No ozone!

About us
To enter a typical pool shop is to enter the world of "the chemical solution". The variety and quantity of chemicals offered to solve the problems associated with swimming pools and spas really has to be seen to be believed - particularly so if it happens to be near the start of the swimming season. The perception is that for any given problem, there is a liquid, tablet, powder or gel to correct it, and to present with a sample of your pool's water is often to leave with a quantity of each - and be many dollars poorer for the experience.
Although originally involved in the control of Legionaire's disease in large commercial cooling towers, by default, we became aware of an ever-increasing groundswell of unrest against the use of chlorine specifically, and other complex solutions for water quality generally.
It was this groundswell, coupled with a fortuitous business opportunity, that saw the emergence of Aquavic and later, that of our parent company, Angus Horwood & Associates Pty. Ltd. We began trading officially on 1 July 2000.
Although very much aware of the effectiveness of ionisation, we were also very much aware of the magnitude of the task confronting us.The task confronting us was awesome to say the least. Promoting a product which is virtually unknown by the public and disliked by those with a vested interest in the chemical industry is not a task for the timid or faint hearted!
Six years on, the task is a little less daunting and we are slowly but surely making our presence felt. As the word spreads, our customer base continues to grow and we are now fielding enquiries both nationally and internationally. Our largest sales have in fact been to overseas countries.
Salination and its undesirable effects are well known – and the majority of pools are still running salt chlorinators! As predicted, people are beginning to seek a more environmentally friendly solution to problems associated with it. Our recognition of the groundswell mentioned above, was the motivating force that launched the company. Our decision to promote ionisation is beginning to bear fruit - and perhaps that fruit is an acorn! For the Latin scholars amongst you, our company moto is:
"Quercus a Magnus Glandibus Parbis Crescant"
which roughly translates to:
"Big oak trees from little acorns grow".
The Aquavic acorn has very definitely taken root and is now very much part of the pool industry landscape.
