The Specialist Pool Distributor

 

Here at Lighthouse we believe customer loyalty is firmly based on an ability to listen to and work with our clients. Not only do we source and provide the best products on the market but supply them, in most instances, exclusively, protecting vital price points and offering the best value we can.

Our Story

Lighthouse was established in 2010 as a family business distributing a premium brand of heat pumps in the UK. Since then we have carefully grown our portfolio to include many other outstanding pool products and brands, (the majority of which remain exclusive to Lighthouse Pools).

From small beginnings, as an aside to our pool building business, we have grown to focus solely on the sale and distribution of a full range of pool equipment to retailers and installers all over the country. Due to the rapid expansion of Lighthouse we took the decision, in 2015, to stop operating as an installation company and have since focused on providing the trade with unrivalled products with an unrivalled service.

HeatForm Panel Pool

HeatForm

Not given to resting on our laurels and cognisant of the need for more sustainable and environmentally aware products, we decided to bring our own in-house brand, HeatForm to the mass market. After several years of intense design and development, the popular HeatForm panel pool system was launched in 2019. In 2022, we launched the new Velocity Swim jet – a powerful, elite counter- current system.

The Journey

From a retailer to a distributor to becoming a manufacturer, we can honestly say that the Lighthouse journey has been a fun and eventful one and enabled us to amass a critical body of knowledge which we are more than happy to share! We understand the pool business from the ground up and to that end, we recently set up the Lighthouse Technical Training Centre in Oxford. This pioneering centre is the only one of its kind in the UK and offers the trade a valuable opportunity to come and get hands on with the products we supply to learn more about them.

Polytropic Ottimo Heat Pump

The Future

This year’s most exciting addition to the Lighthouse arsenal are the Polytropic Heat Pumps. We have had our eye on these exclusive units for a while. They have fast become the number one swimming pool heat pump of choice in Europe and we are happy to announce that we have been chosen as the sole distributor for the UK. They boast 5 year warranties, robust components and a modern aesthetic.
