Welcome

The BSPF brings together in one organisation the UK bodies representing contractors, manufacturers, distributors and retailers of swimming pools, spas, hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms and associated equipment.

The BSPF incorporates:


SPATA
The Swimming Pool & Allied Trades Association.

With over 240 members, SPATA sets and publishes technical standards for construction and operation of pools, spas, saunas and steam rooms. These authoritative standards have been developed by experienced pool builders over the past 40 years and are widely recognised and used by architects and contractors. Technical advice and mediation services are available. SPATA operates the SPATASHIELD Bond and Warranty scheme, which is compulsory for all pool contractor members and offers customers insurance-backed protection when buying a pool or spa from a SPATA member.

BISHTA
The British and Irish Spa and Hot Tub Association.

Formed to represent the fast-growing domestic self-contained (portable) spa and hot tub market.

Its primary objective is to ensure that all portable spas on public display are rigorously maintained and tested to ensure microbiologically safe spa water at all times. Members have to comply with Association test procedures and standards and ensure that their staff have adequate water hygiene awareness training.

SPATEX
The exhibition for professionals in the design, installation. retailing, maintenance, operation and management of pools, spas, saunas and ancillary equipment
