FITT’s ecodesign guidelines — performance, circularity and reduction — have given rise to FITT Revix, the first responsible hose for the pool industry.

PERFORMANCE

FITT Revix is the flexible spiral hose made with patent- pending Coreshield technology: it features a layer that insulates and separates the regenerated material from the virgin material. This ensures suitable external abrasion resistance during installation as well as excellent hose adhesion to fittings during the gluing stage. Coreshield technology is supplemented with the patented D-Shape reinforcement spiral made from virgin material, which provides crush resistance. The innovative technologies used in the development of FITT Revix, combined with research into both recycled and virgin materials, ensure the first sustainable hose for swimming pools delivers high performance in terms of both mechanical strength and chemical resistance.

CIRCULARITY

FITT Revix is made using 30% recycled material, which results in a 10% reduction in CO2e emissions. The recycled material is the product of a significant collaboration between FITT and The RENOLIT Group, which is one of the world’s leading specialist for high-quality films, sheets and other products made of polymers and is constantly developing the know-how from more than 75 years of company history. The recycled material originates from industrial applications made for the decoration of window profiles manufactured and processed for reuse from RENOLIT: it is made up of graded chips chosen to ensure consistent granule size as well as extrusion stability and, consequently, a hose offering high performance. The partnership between FITT and RENOLIT is the epitome of circularity across company boundaries: a new way of working together to find more environmentally friendly solutions.
