THIS & BELOW: Three Heritage Pools
a feel for the special requirements that are
hydrotherapy pools built in Harrow and needed. Often we can suggest options that
Worcester which reflects the growth in demand
make their life a lot easier as well as a
better experience for the patients.”
To ensure the hygiene and cleanliness of
their hydrotherapy installations a sand
filtration system is installed. This works by
pumping water under pressure through a
bed of sand that traps dirt and debris in
between the sand particles.
“Walk in steps are particularly useful for
many types of disability while barriers need to
be erected around pools where partially
sighted users are treated. Where the users
have a lack of mobility, we have needed to
create a deck level pool so that the therapists
can help their patients get in and out of the
water with ease,” explains Andrews.
This February, Heritage Pools started
work on a new hydrotherapy pool
installation at the Rainbow Children’s
Hospice in Loughborough. This special
needs school already offers a number of
therapies but wanted to offer a safe
hydrotherapy room where the children can
find relief for muscle conditions, stiff joints
and limited movement.
The 6m x 6m pool will feature walk-in
steps and a special location within the pool
where they can offer the children therapies
and massages. The water temperature will
be kept at a therapeutic 35°C and it will
have a special Benvic Alloy Slat cover,
designed to operate at high temperatures,
to retain the heat.
“It is always rewarding to work on these
type of projects as you know the children are
really going to appreciate the pools and it
will help with their development by allowing
them to partake in physical activities such as
swimming that would normally prove difficult
in a standard pool” says Andrews.
Other hydrotherapy installations
currently under construction are at Haddon
Park School, Nottingham and at the
Temple Moor School in Leeds.
UV A BREATH OF FRESH
AIR FOR NEW ZEALAND
INDOOR POOLS
Air and water quality at the Franklin Sport
Swim and Fitness centre’s two indoor pools
in New Zealand has been transformed
since the owners installed two Hanovia UV
treatment systems. Combined chlorine
(chloramine) levels in the 25 metre main
pool and the children’s pool are now
below 0.2ppm and the operators are also
making significant savings on water
replacement. The Hanovia UV systems
were installed by Davey Water Products on
behalf of Franklin District Council and
Community Leisure Management in the
town of Pukekohe, south of Auckland.
“Our main purpose for installing the
systems was to control chloramines, which
are responsible for the distinctive, and at
times overwhelming, ‘chlorine’ smell
associated with indoor chlorinated pools,”
said Franklin District Council’s Property
Manager Gwyn De Arth. “Chloramines
