New grout technology introduced
The very first stain resistant grout with anti-fungal properties that is available in South Africa. Weber’ s Premium Grout incorporates both Protect3 and Pure- Clean technology. This multi-use high performance and coloured mortar grouting may be used on widths from 1 – 15mm. It is suited to ceramic, porcelain, marble, glass, mosaic, and high absorption tiles, for use both indoors in bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms, and outdoors on patios, in pools, on balconies, and on facades. It is available in three colour options and is flexible, waterproof, and quick setting.
The product’ s Pure-Clean technology makes it simple to clean and has high resistance to stains. In addition, it shows no colour shading or carbonation commonly seen in grouting. Its Protect3 technology, the ionic silver treatment incorporated into the product, protects against microbiological growth, making it mould-resistant, bacteriaresistant and algae-resistant, all of which typically cause discolouration in current grouts available in the South African market.

Variable speed wastewater pumps
KSB Pumps and Valves recently introduced the PumpDrive variable speed system for effective and controlled pumping of wastewater. The variable speed system has been especially designed to overcome problems experienced when pumping wastewater. Three innovative functions have been seamlessly incorporated into the system to allow the most effective operation of pumps in the field. These include establishing a complete water column almost immediately during start-up. This is done through a system that allows the pump to be taken to maximum speed within four seconds and maintained for three minutes, so that an appropriate flow passes through all piping elements before the system starts its controlled, demand-driven operation. This ensures that the discharge line and pump casing are completely primed with the fluid to be handled.
