Creating Multi-Purpose Areas For All Types Of Pools

Published

3 years ago

November 1, 2023

Have you ever wondered why more and more pools have one or even multiple movable floors? The answer is simple, the ability to create multi-purpose pool areas. With a movable floor everything you wish for is possible. To show how versatile movable floors can be, this article will discuss three different types of pools in more detail, including therapy pools, residential pools and commercial pools.

Therapy pools: Offer exactly the right water level during hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is a specialized form of physical therapy in which exercise methods (with and without attributes) take place in extra-heated (30°C to 34°C) swimming water. The purpose of the exercise methods is to gain a better condition, stability, muscle power and mobility. Variation in depth is the key factor to success during hydrotherapy and that is why a Tieleman movable floor is the perfect addition to any therapy pool. Because you can set the floor to any desired depth you are allowed to offer each client exactly the right water level, and thus the required load on the body (for responsible rehabilitation).

“Thanks to the Tieleman movable floor, I am able to train at different swimming depths. A state-of-the-art product, wonderful technology, beautiful finish and above all, a pleasant and thoughtful team.”

Partner up to deal with the changing pool industry

It has now been a year since Las Vegas introduced a law which sets a max limit of 600 sq. feet on residential pools as a result of the prolonged drought. Following the example of Las Vegas many other cities are looking to institute new water saving measures, so it may not take long before another major city or area will follow. This worries many industry experts, as they have estimated that up to 90% of their clients will be affected by the new size restrictions.

It is therefore the perfect time for architects, elite pool designers, builders and industry experts to partner up with a company like Tieleman Pool Technology. Since companies that manufacture, install and maintain movable floors generally do not build the pool itself, this offers excellent business opportunities. The construction of the pool, the water treatment and the tiling of the movable floor needs to be done by a (local) contractor or pool builder.

Residential pools: The ultimate addition to any backyard without sacrificing any valuable space

Just imagine… being able to transform your residential pool into a multifunctional area which can be used as a full size swimming pool, a mid-depth pool for games and exercises, a paddling pool or even a dancefloor or basketball court. With a Tieleman movable floor all this is possible in the same space in just minutes. Think about it having a party in the backyard with your friends or your family, BBQ fired up and all that is missing is a swimming pool. What if you could magically change your patio into a full size swimming pool? With the push of a button the water gently starts flowing across the movable floor. The color of the tiles fades away into a tropical blue color and the pool magically appears. All that is left to do is tell your astonished guests that the pool party can begin.

Besides this, a Tieleman movable floor has much more to offer. It also offers ultimate safety and saves on energy costs. When you are leaving your residence you can close the pool by adjusting the floor to its highest (closed) position. This means the pool is inaccessible for incorrect or unsupervised use when you are not there. In addition the movable floor prevents evaporation, heat loss and ensures lower heating costs because of the insulating nature of the platform. “All the above is the reason our movable floors are one of the most high-value products in terms of safety, multi-purpose space and design,” says Marijn, Project Manager of the Netherlands-based manufacturer Tieleman Pool Technology.

Commercial pools: A wide range of swimmers as the new standard

Especially in the United States commercial swimming pools ranging from public pools to competition- or Olympic pools have been a central part for over a century, offering a space for people to come together and enjoy their time. Unfortunately, energy costs have been rising dramatically resulting in the closure of many commercial pools. As many pools have closed, those that remain have to deal with a varied audience ranging from children who want to learn how to swim to professional athletes who are training for competitions. The question is, how can commercial pools deal with such a broad variety of swimmers and increase the efficiency of their pool?

Installing a movable floor is an excellent way for a commercial pool to do so. Whether it’s an Olympic pool, competition pool or public pool, with a movable floor they can attract a wider range of swimmers, and most important, get more return on assets from their pool. To illustrate:

09.00 AM – Swimming lessons for children at a depth of 2.95 ft;
12.00 AM- Aqua jogging for the elderly at a depth of 4.27 ft;
02.00 PM – Competition swimming or water polo at a depth of 6.56 ft;
04.00 PM – Disco swimming at a depth of 5.91 ft;
09.00 PM- Closing pool at a depth of 0.00 ft.

Ultimately, the Tieleman movable floor is the bridge to turn an ordinary pool into a high-end, safe and, above all, multi-purpose pool. It is no wonder that architects, elite pool builders and consumers alike are embracing this technology and revolutionizing the way we enjoy our pools.

Pentair Pool and Pool Brain Launch Technology Integration to Deliver Smarter, More Proactive Pool Service

Collaboration advances the future of pool care with data-driven insights that enable more proactive, connected pool management.

LONDON – Aug. 19, 20626 — Pentair Pool, a leader in smart, sustainable pool solutions, today announced the launch of its planned technology integration with Pool Brain, a leading software platform for swimming pool service and repair professionals. The integration combines Pentair’s IntelliFlo3® variable-speed pump, the only Wi-Fi-enabled automation pool pump, with Pool Brain’s service management capabilities, providing pool professionals with actionable insights that help streamline operations, improve efficiency, and deliver better service for pool owners.

The integration combines Pentair’s Lighthouse™ connected equipment intelligence data stream, delivering greater visibility into equipment performance, with Pool Brain’s service management capabilities, providing pool professionals with actionable insights that help streamline operations, improve efficiency, and deliver better service for pool owners. Upon launch, the integration will deliver insights from Pentair’s IntelliFlo3 pump directly into Pool Brain’s service management platform. The IntelliFlo3 pump provides pool owners with entry-level automation capabilities that deliver a connected, simple, enjoyable pool management experience.

“Pentair Pool is committed to providing innovative solutions that help pool professionals grow their businesses while giving pool owners more carefree days by the pool,” said Christine Richardson, Chief Product and Innovation Officer for Pentair Pool. “By bringing actionable equipment intelligence and water turnover insights directly into the Pool Brain workflow, we’re helping service professionals operate more efficiently, prevent issues before they occur, and deliver exceptional experiences for homeowners.”

The combination of intelligence from Pentair’s IntelliFlo3 with Pool Brain’s service management platform provides proactive alerts, remote diagnostics, equipment intelligence, turnover monitoring, and daily equipment status within a single workflow. Service professionals can receive early warnings on issues such as priming failures, pressure changes, and operational anomalies, helping them identify and diagnose problems before they lead to costly repairs, water quality concerns, or unexpected service calls. With greater visibility into pool health between visits, service companies can arrive on-site with the right tools and parts, reduce unnecessary truck rolls, improve operational efficiency, and manage more pools without adding headcount. By automating insights and alerts, the integration helps pool professionals increase productivity, scale operations more effectively, and deliver more proactive service.

“Launching our integration with Pentair marks an important milestone for the pool service industry. Pool companies can finally connect the equipment on the pad to the software platform they use to run their business every day, which has been our vision from day one,” said Adam Beech, founder and CEO of Pool Brain. “Together with Pentair, we’re giving pool pros a more connected and automated way to manage their business. Device data flows into Pool Brain automatically; water movement issues are surfaced proactively to prevent algae growth, companies operate more efficiently, and on-site visits are reduced. We believe this is only the beginning of what’s possible.”

Together, Pentair and Pool Brain are helping redefine the future of pool service through connected, insight-driven technology. By bringing equipment intelligence and service operations together in a seamless experience, the integration empowers professionals to make better decisions, improve service outcomes, and transition from reactive maintenance to more proactive pool management.

“Even in the early stages of deployment, we’re seeing the value,” said Brittney Mendez, Service Team Manager for Tribal Waters, a Phoenix-based custom pool and spa builder and

service provider. “The level of insight and visibility we’re gaining through the integration helps us be more proactive and provide a better experience for pool owners.”

The collaboration represents another step toward a more connected and efficient future of pool care.
