The Self Cleaning Swimming Pool

With Compass Vantage, the self cleaning swimming pool is no longer a myth

Vantage Pool Life Simplified

For everyone, pools are great sources of fun; they are wonderfully relaxing and are perfect for low impact healthy exercise. And for some, cleaning the pool is part of the fun. For everyone else, Compass has pools that clean themselves.

Compass and Vantage – a perfect combination

Compass designers constantly search the world for innovative technologies that will enhance the experience of living with a Compass fibreglass ceramic composite pool.

When they discovered the Paramount (US) in-floor system, they immediately set to work with the developers of the technology to produce the world’s first Vantage system in a composite pool.

A series of unobtrusive nozzles are flush-mounted into the surface of the pool shell at the factory. They are strategically located so when directed they pop up in a carefully orchestrated sequence sending a powerful stream of water across the pool floor and walls. These streams all combine to push dirt, sand, leaves or debris into the patented collection zone.

So, the pool cleans itself…

It’s all about water in the brain

The nozzle sequence is directed by an amazing water valve system commonly referred to as the Vantage ‘Brain”. This patented system links its activities to the pool’s filtration cycle.

And, if necessary, there’s a manual override system to stop the sequence at any time. So, if you want the system off while you swim, just hit the pause button.

Just a few little nozzles achieve all this. Some of the brilliantly designed in-built nozzles are fixed and some rotate. Once each nozzle has completed its task, it settles back and sits flush with the surface of the pool.

Then, when it’s asked to rise again, each rotating nozzle turns twenty degrees clockwise as it rises, sending its stream in a slightly different direction.

In 20 degree increments, each nozzle will complete a 360 degree rotation to ensure all the pool water in its vicinity is completely cleaned, stirred and refreshed.

These little nozzles are silent and safe.

Every nozzle completes its task in silence. You can sleep beside your pool and you’ll never know they are operating. And each is perfectly safe. If anyone should accidentally stand of one while it’s elevated, it is designed to slide back quickly  into its well without resistance. And they are so tough they carry a limited, lifetime guarantee.

Vantage Debris Canister

For outdoor pools the Vantage Debris canister is recommended. It sits under a lid beside the pool with a basket that holds five times as much as a conventional skimmer basket.

Vantage Steps & Ledges completes the picture

An additional Vantage pack is designed to extend this self-cleaning service to steps, benches, swimouts and even spas.

Just a few additional nozzles can be positioned to ensure every inch of the pools is totally clean.

Water needs to flow. Water must flow. In its natural state, water is constantly moving. When it stops it stagnates and becomes contaminated with algae and bacteria. Like a mountain stream, a Compass Vantage system regularly circulates and constantly refreshes the water in your pool.

Vantage is much, much more than just a cleaning system.

A Compass Vantage in-floor circulation and cleaning system doesn’t just keep the pool clean. It will supplement your filtration system by constantly recirculating the water in the pool to completely eliminate any stagnant or still patches.

Vantage circulation is a natural advantage.

The carefully positioned vantage nozzles introduce natural flow and circulation patterns that help maintain the pristine water quality found in the natural environment.

It’s also an advantage in chemical management.

The sun burns off your pool chemicals more rapidly when the water is still. Vantage circulates from the bottom of the pool to the top, totally mixing those valuable sanitisers and ensuring that every inch of the pool is properly treated.

This regular movement helps maintain the correct chemical balance and, in the process dramatically reduces chemical consumption.

It’s an advantage on heated pools.

In a still pool, heat layers quickly form. So a pool that’s warm enough on top can still be too cold below the surface. Circulation eliminates hot and cold layers, mixing the warm water through the colder layers. This means the pool warms more quickly and consumes less energy.

It also means your swimming season starts earlier and ends later, giving you greater benefit from your pool.

Hot surface layers increase evaporation and that makes Vantage a must for all indoor pools where condensation needs to be controlled.

Vantage is also a cost advantage

With all this added technology and all those added benefits, it’s natural that a Compass Vantage pool will cost a little more. But better management of chemical mixing dramatically reduces chemical and power consumption. And better maintenance of water temperature reduces heating costs.

So, with the immediate paybacks in health and enjoyment, plus the savings in operating costs, every Compass vantage pool truly represents exceptional value for money.
