The ancient Greeks were early central heating innovators, but how do Sentinel partner and distributor Hydromarin go about their business in Greece today ?
Archaeological excavations and explorations have revealed to us that the ancient Greeks were amongst the first beneficiaries of early central heating, called a hypocaust, not dissimilar to what we would call underfloor heating today. Whilst an inhibitor was not required for the original Greek version, it is essential for ensuring that a system is correctly effectively protected these days, and Hydromarin are the leading Greek retailer for water treatment supplies, as well as other plumbing and heating products.
The company, based in Athens, have seen rapid growth with Sentinel products, with a 65% increase in sales, during the first 4 months of 2019 alone, with excellent performance by the Vortex 300.
Officially partnered with Sentinel since 2016, Hydromarin have been particularly effective in spreading the message of filters for central heating to the Greek market. Whether the compact Vortex 300, or the larger capacity Vortex 500, the range offers great protection against all types of heating system debris.
Operating since 2002, in a national market of approximately 320,000 boilers, Hydromarin service a network of 1200 plumbing and heating supply stores across Greece – these stores are stocked with all of the products that the modern heating professional would need to clean, protect and maintain a central heating system; a message which is something that Hydromarin are keen to promote, in conjunction with Sentinel. It is a message which underpins Sentinel’s product range, and our partner Hydromarin are proud to support.
By combining the Vortex 300 with market-leading chemicals has proved extremely popular with Greek users. Installer packs, which combine Sentinel’s X800 Fast Acting Cleaner and X100 All-Purpose Inhibitor, with a Sentinel Vortex filter have proved very attractive to customers in search of an all-in-one solution. Hydromarin’s Technical Manager, Christos Pettas, believes the ‘quality of Sentinel’s products, combined with the practical packing provided by Hydromarin’, is the difference maker in the Greek market.
A business built on a strong reputation, teams of experienced engineers and technicians across Greece offer full technical after-sales service and support on all of the products sold in their stores, as the company look to the future, upholding and improving their position as Greek market leaders.
This position is reinforced through the product range – Hydromarin have faith in the products they sell and act based upon this. 1 extra year of guarantee is provided for each boiler that is sold in conjunction with a Vortex filter; reflecting their trust in Sentinel’s products.
We have come a long way since the advent of hypocausts in the ancient Greece, but the future of water treatment in Greece is secure, with Hydromarin and Sentinel.
