The last thing a highly successful league 1 football team want to be worrying about mid-season is the weather, but with below freezing temperatures in Britain this week, it has become a major concern for Charlton Athletic FC.

One of the most renowned fishing lakes in Britain suffered with a number of fish and plant deaths recently as the algae in the lake began to decay and rot, inevitably resulting in an oxygen shortage within the lake.
Being the UK’s foremost pump supplier, Sykes Pumps were on site within a few hours, installing two 6” Venturi Aerators on each side of the lake. This proved effective as fewer fish were dying.
Mark Warner, Pump Sales Engineer, stated this solution “saved the fishery business and the customer was extremely grateful for our expertise”. Sykes Pumps has extensive experience in environmental industries and supply premium reliable equipment to cover every possible situation.

Any air conditioning over 10 years old probably uses R22 refrigerant, an ozone-depleting CFC which is now banned by law. R22 systems will become unserviceable at the end of 2014 but spare parts are already in short supply and increasingly expensive. These ageing systems will also use around twice the energy and be far more likely to break down than modern replacements.
That’s why Andrews Air Conditioning has launched its brand new R22 Replacement App. Let us show you how to comply with stringent R22 refrigerant legislation, save on energy costs and protect the environment by reducing your CO2 output.
‘’It’s so easy for any customer to use’’, says Alasdair McLean, National Projects Manager for Andrews Air Conditioning. ‘’Just input your room dimensions or cooling requirements and our R22 App will show how much energy and CO2 you could save, as well as providing a budget quote for a new system’’.
To learn more go to www.airconditioningservices.com/r22-replacement/ and click on the R22 Replacement App, or email R22@airconditioningservices.com for more information.
