GAP Developers plc, the developer of the multi-awarded Fort Cambridge project, has awarded the tender for the installation of the complex’s swimming pools to Charles Micallef Swimming Pools Ltd.

The pools will be complementing the residential project with pools that make use of the latest environment-friendly technologies, such as a Certikin Salt Chlorinator and an eco-friendly lighting system.

Certikin’s salt chlorinator is a greener, more natural way to disinfect pool water. It makes use of naturally occurring products that are safer to handle than chlorine. The salt in the swimming pool water is transformed by an electrolysis cell into chlorine gas, a powerful disinfectant that is instantly diffused into the water.

The chlorine solution produced destroys micro-organisms in the cell and maintains a controllable level of free chlorine in the pool while eliminating chloramines responsible for red eyes and strong chlorine odours. The active chlorine is constantly regenerated by the cell without any user intervention. The saline pool water is also kinder to the bathers’ skin.

Both the inner and outer pools will comprise an eco-friendly lighting system that makes use of LED lights, rather than the conventional 300W bulbs. The use of LEDs in the lighting system ensures a much lower consumption of energy, with a maximum of 35W per bulb, without diminishing the lighting capacity of the new system.

Built on the Tignè peninsula of Sliema, the Fort Cambridge residential project comprises purpose-built seafront apartments designed with comfort and excellence in mind.

Fort Cambridge is in its very final stages and is on target for completion by mid-year, GAP said.
