Families, hotels and health care facilities are interested in a pool with a movable floor

In today’s article we will look at the benefits of movable pool for the domestic market as well as the commercial and public market – hotels, sports clubs, public pools, health and rehabilitation centres.

Movable for hotels and sports clubs – a multifunctional space for different activities

Hotels and sports clubs are increasingly interested in safer swimming pools and especially in multifunctional use. Public swimming pools and sports clubs appreciate the movable floor, especially when the pool is not in use and there is no supervision. In addition, thanks to the different depths, they can convert the pool into a children’s pool:

– A shallow children’s pool or a pool for the elderly or for various equipment that requires a shallow depth.
– Relaxation pool, aqua aerobics classes, aqua zumba, water running, water bikes, water dancing or even medium depth aqua fitness.
– Swimming pool for adults and swimmers with maximum depth.

Movable floors are ordered by hotels and companies for rooftop suites in skyscrapers. An example is the project in the city of Netanya, where the IMAGINOX Group installed a stainless steel overflow pool with an movable floor.

Health and rehabilitation centres appreciate the movable floor the most

You have already read that one of the benefits of a movable floor is wheelchair access. However, the pool can also be equipped with the necessary safety features. This makes it possible to create a pool with a movable floor as a therapeutic aid for people with physical disabilities.

A pool with a movable floor, especially one made of stainless steel, makes a significant contribution to water hygiene. The advantage is that the depth of the pool can be easily adjusted to meet the hygiene requirements of different client groups in health centres. The floor is non-slip and provides excellent support for clients during exercise.

What exercises can be performed in rehabilitation centres thanks to the movable floor? Here is a list of some of them: aquatic cognitive-motor therapy, aquatic cardiovascular training, high intensity interval training or even deep water running. These can include:

– underwater treadmill,
– underwater treadmill,

The advantages of a moving floor for houses – pool or terrace?

The movable floor is one of the pool cover systems with the latest hydraulic technology. The aim is to keep the water warm and clean and save you money. Another advantage of this system is the possibility of using your garden as a terrace, playground or for summer parties and barbecues. The advantages of a raised floor include:

Freely adjustable depth in the pool – it is a fully automatic hydraulic system that allows you to set any depth you want – one for the children and another for the swimmers. It can also be controlled via an app and your preferred depths can be saved at the touch of a button.
Safety and wheelchair access – there is no risk of falling into the water when the pool is fully covered. The movable floor is also appreciated by people who need to access the water in a wheelchair.
Variability and modern design – the pool cover is the most modern way of covering a pool. Its design does not disturb the character of your garden and therefore it fits perfectly with modern houses.
