As part of a general restructuring of the accessories ranges, Flame is also proceeding with the restyling of the lines of small products such as water pumps which will all flow into, it is right to say, the new Aqua8F series. This combines the technical characteristics of the old Aqua 8 and Aqua F, declined in the total black style characteristic of the new Fiamma productions.

the first two equipped with adjustable pressure switch
In all models the general architecture is with four pumping chambers for a consistent water flow and regular
Common to all models is also the filter which can be installed in the most convenient position and is very easy to inspect and clean
extremely small size and weight the new Aqua 8F pumps
like all Fiamma products that come into contact with water
are approved according to the strict German KTW standards (Kunststoffe und Trinkwasser)
We took advantage of the availability of a specimen of the new Aqua 8F with 7 litre capacity, present at the sales and service center Camperopoli of San Pietro in Casale (BO) which incidentally is a centre Flame Expert
to carry out a quick test and report the first impressions of this new pump
We knew the weight was only 1,3kg for our model but when we picked it up the Aqua 8F 7L is really very small
The filter with an appropriate connection can be installed in any position you like
which contributes to the compactness of the whole
For a quick test we went to the square where the used vehicles for sale at Camperopoli are parked
we placed the pump on a classic plastic step and we equipped ourselves with a pair of basins
two plastic pipes (water inlet and outlet) and a power station for the supply
Once the first bowl was filled with water and the power was connected
our Aqua 8F immediately began to draw water and quickly and silently transferred the water to the second bowl
we had to interrupt the test for a truly paradoxical reason: due to the very low ambient noise present in the parking lot
we were unable to understand whether the pump was on or not
The noise level of our model is given as 50dB
a very low level that we fully endorse even without having a specific measuring instrument
We then moved inside the market in the Camperopoli centre where we replicated the same set-up using a Brunner coffee table instead of the plastic step
In the reassuring silence present in the market before the opening we were finally able to hear the noise produced by the pump which is however very low and partly linked to the type of support on which the four rubber feet at the base are fixed
To get an empirical idea of the level of vibrations produced by the Aqua 8F
we placed a 50 cent coin vertically on the table where the pump was positioned
during operation the coin always remained in its place
Virtually everything: Fiamma's Aqua 8F is silent
It vibrates little and produces a consistent and unstable flow of water.
It is also really tiny and has a easily manageable filter
The latter opens easily by simply rotating the transparent cap and thus having access to the filter mesh
Even though we had taken the water from the bathroom sink (the basins were clean) we still found something in the filter
This tells us two things: the first that the filter works and the second that it is still good practice to load the water using a sediment filter like that ofAcquatravel which can be purchased on PLEINAIRCLUB shop.

He was a young policeman stationed at Malpensa, but the desire to build something of his own drove him to lease a 3,500 square meter plot of land not far from the airport to be used for passenger parking. And 15 years later, Giuliano Rovelli, 39 years old, is president and CEO of Oasi, a holding company that owns a number of service companies, including ParkinGO which offers parking plus shuttle van service in Italy’s main airports
A 9 million euro per year business that moves more than 700,000 people
I realized I was not cut out to work for other people and I began to examine potential business opportunities connected with airports
After having analyzed fully the services offered
I decided to start with satellite parking because it seemed the one with the greatest margin for potential growth
there was only what is today Terminal 2 and during busy periods of the year
despite the fact that there were parking lots before mine
meter area near the airport at Cardano al Campo
It was a shed with land easily accessible to potential clients
I didn’t buy it because I didn’t have enough money
so I leased it for 60 million lira per year
What were the biggest problems you encountered
unprepared to evaluate and support serious business projects
This was my biggest problem and I am an entrepreneur today thanks exclusively to a private investor
How many clients could you hold in this area
Today we have more than 10,000 parking spots
My business is divided into two main areas: ParkinGO
which is approximately 60% of total turnover
involved in ground services in airports and ports
vehicle rental with driver for personalized services and transfer of passengers from airports and ports in buses and vans
How are working relations with the airport authorities
they think we are competitors to be obstructed and gotten out of the way because
despite the fact they are unable to offer this type of service
they think that passengers should use their parking lots which are just open spaces without any kind of guarantees
I think they should worry more about making their core business operate better
and by this I mean reducing the lines at security checks
shortening the amount of time at baggage claim and listening to the needs of airport users by offering cutting-edge services
We have major partnerships with some multinationals such as Hotelplan
We are a series of related services that range from wrapping luggage to car valet service (pick-up and delivery of vehicles to clients at the airport arrival lane)
car washing and even passenger assistance inside the airport
We operate at the Milan airports of Malpensa and Linate
We will be opening three new centers in 2012?”in Bologna and Pisa

large ex-industrial areas or smaller buildings: in 2010 between Gallarate and surroundings there was the ghost of the “Last Mohicans”
A dreaded anarchist group that wanted to set up a social center but which also claimed the contestation of urban planning choices: they wanted a space to “reflect about the theme of the exploitation of the territory”
at a Carnival parade they also invented a desecrating and chaotic allegorical chariot of the city of cement
Beyond the way in which the problem was raised
what happened to the buildings that had been occupied
in fact – the sudden occupations and the evictions started a bit of a debate
regarding the future of those useless places that are the brownfields
left in degradation waiting for the right moment for investment
a quadrature in the circle of different real-estate interests
let’s start from the former FS workshops of Gallarate
where the occupation was “lightning”
The sheds (partly historical buildings dating back to 1905) were abandoned for thirteen years
the large complex has also become a makeshift home: there have been countless evictions
The variant of the center-left Pgt of Gallarate had hypothesized a repurposing of the area with different functions (while stopping the construction on “virgin” terrains)
but the intention clashed with the times of the owner
which also in other contexts have shown that they want to maximize the gain on their properties (acquired a century ago
the FS also semi-demolished the interiors of some buildings of the complex
to make them “uninhabitable” for the homeless
In the variant route hypothesized by the center-right
the importance of the “regeneration” of disused railway areas is reiterated
there was a meeting of Legambiente with the participation of the real estate managers of the FS Group
but for now there is still no concrete hypothesis
This time moving into a different context: the village of Cardano al Campo
where they occupied a large building overlooking the hill
once a luxurious ballroom and then a dance-room
This was to be place where they remained the longest
and their final eviction from the place took the combined efforts of dozens of agents
The building was well known to the locals (the “San Pedar” used to be a popular meeting spot once) and stands in an area – the side of the hill facing towards the moor and Malpensa – full of abandoned buildings and unkept gardens
Many people in that neighbourhood had frowned at the prospect of having punk concerts held at their doorstep
but others had harboured hope that the occupation of the building could have led to the end of the state of abandon of the area: more than in the ideals of the revolution
some of the locals hoped in the liberation from the pests living in the weed-infested gardens
in his role of town mayor as he was at the time of the facts
reminded the local population that the owner of the building had a recovering plan for it
the “case” created some friction inside the ranks of the moderate left wing government of the town: the leading majority
although declaring itself in disagreement with the methods employed
wrote that the occupation of the building raised “a wide range of questions and problems” on “areas dedicated to young people
the overbuilding not only in Cardano but in the whole area surrounding Gallarate.” (In Cardano were already erected many building which are now still vacant) After six years nothing has changed
as confirmed by the words of the current mayor
nothing serious but enough to reveal that the area has degraded a bit.”
After a weak attempt to re-enter the “san Pedar” at the end of October
the last occupation of the “hot 2010” happened in December and was immediately stopped in its track by the police and town authorities and resulting in charges brought up against twenty-one people
In that instance the anarchists occupied the former Stere manufactory on the access-route to Cardano from Gallarate
The factory consists in a wide block including both houses and office buildings standing in front of the warehouses
The place is still a brownfield site today and nothing has changed which is visible from the outside
something important but invisible has since happened to the former Stere industrial site: the situation used to be frozen because of a lawsuit for bankruptcy opened by the Busto Arsizio tribunal
but in February 2018 was sold at an auction to a local estate agency
“We have already get together for a meeting
they will present to us a project which we will consider from an urban standpoint,” says mayor Bellona
“The Territorial Management Plan includes a housing development
half reserved for the free building industry and half reserved for partnership or social housing
The terms for this are however still to be defined.” The acquisition of the former Stere is still to be confirmed
but – regardless of what to do with it in the future – there is without a doubt a positive aspect: “We have been told that their first step would be to removal of all the asbestos concrete
The paradox in common with all the building that were occupied is that all three of them are sited in areas relatively close to the town centres of either Gallarate or Cardano which are still waiting for a requalification plan even after both town went through years of urban growth
with all new district built on once undeveloped areas in the town outskirts
And where the “Mohicans” had the revolution as an objective
a problem which could be solved with mere moderate reforms stands unchallenged: allow the cities and towns to grow without occupying more land
solving environmental problems and building a more sustainable city
such things could already be considered revolutionary
