World record attempt with HydroStar

On 14 and 15 July 2018, a team of German free-swimming champions, Olympic participants and the 12-time world champion and three-time Olympian Thomas Lurz, undertook a world record attempt against the Hydrostar in the BINDER trade fair pool.

The team was put together by Stefan Lurz, German national trainer for free swimmers.

The idea to swim the 51 km long ferry route from Gedser (DK) to Rostock (DE) against the Hydrostar in the BINDER pool in less than 10 hours turned out successfully for the elite swimming team.

Binder offers its warmest congratulations on this success.

The world record attempt was held as a charity relay to benefit Kinderhilfe Organtransplantation (children’s aid for organ transplants). It was organised by SVW05 (Würzburg swim club) and Fitness Club SVW05 under the direction of Rainer Griebl.

German Brand Award 2018

The German Design Council has been presenting the German Brand Award, the industry prize for brand strategy, in more than 60 categories since 2016. Few would argue when we say that brands hold meaning and power. Their importance is growing immensely with increasing digitalisation.

In June 2018, the jury presented BINDER with the “Industry Excellence in Branding” award in the Sports category at the German Historical Museum in Berlin. This award is given to the best product and company brands in a particular industry.

“We are very proud to have received this award and are constantly working on expanding our successful brand strategy,” explains Siegfried Binder, owner and Managing Director of BINDER GmbH & Co KG.

Golden Wave for HydroStar counter-current system

In March 2017 SCHWIMMBAD + SAUNA awarded the Golden Waves in the historic Ludwigsburg Music Hall. A total of 24 awards were presented in eight categories. All winners were duly hailed by the approximately 100 guests.

In the run-up, five jurors per category selected three winners from almost 100 entries. The jury consisted of Peter Lang from the publishers Fachschriften-Verlag and four well-known swimming pool builders.

BINDER was honoured in the “Pool Attractions” category along with two other companies. Thanks to its patented turbine technology, the swimming sensation of BINDER counter-current systems is unique and impresses with its broad, powerful but natural current. The jury honoured this unique technology with the Golden Wave award, which Siegfried Binder sees as “an award for all my employees”.

Artificial flow with HydroStar

Artificial flow with HydroStar

Team Binder, represented by Philippe Stock and Felix Binder, was in the south of France this week to confirm the suitability of the HydroStar turbine for an artificial river.

We have long been convinced that the HydroStar counterflow system is not just the right choice for private pools. We were now able to convincingly and impressively demonstrate this. It was possible to replace three conventional pumps with only two HydroStar turbines (together about 3000 Watt).

The main reason for using HydroStar turbines for artificial rivers is their cost-effectiveness. They can already save a lot of money during the construction phase, because they remove the need for a drying room for the pumps and complex piping. HydroStar boasts a significantly more energy-efficient operation. This quickly pays for itself in continuous use.
