Subject: [britishoctopush] RE: Pool Tiles?

Hi Hugh, German Agrob Chroma series tiles are by far the best; they are very resilient to heavy use and when laid correctly will last a lifetime with just about zero maintenance.  The contact for Agrob technical data is Andreas Cramer at Agrob Germany +49 94353913388  I will pass your details on to the Australian distributor and he will let Andreas know and he will probably give you a call.  They are good people to work with and in case you were wondering, I have no vested interest in Agrob other than through my extensive experience knowing they make the best product for a hockey pool bottom by far.  

Make sure they [the pool builders] stay away from plastic liners and adjustable floors as every one of these I have seen fails.

 Hope this helps you.

 Cheers.
