Our company was approached by the architect to see if we were able to offer a solution for the renovation of the public whirlpool in Earl-Mah Aquatic Center in Prince Rupert, BC. 

On June 13, 2018, the renovated outdoor aquatic centre Riviera in the Czech Republic was officially opened, and became the largest outdoor stainless steel aquatic centre in the world. The supplier of stainless steel pools was Berndorf Bäderbau and the reconstruction of the whole area was carried out in record time.

The pool with overflow creates a sense of luxury and excellence thanks to its technological and design solutions, compared to simpler types of pools, such as pools with Skimmer.

Although it is generally known that overflow pools are the right choice for hygiene, design and maintenance, there are still about 80% of all residential pools in Canada Skimmer type. Why is it?

Reasons may be different, as a limited budget, the pool builder does not offer you the possibility of overflow pool or simply an architect or customer is not well informed. And that's a shame because the overflow pool offers much more advantages than Skimmer pool.

Before you decide which pool to choose, ask yourself the following questions:

• Can I afford a higher investment in the pool?
• Is my mechanical room large enough for placing a surge tank?
• Is my mechanical room located below the pool level? If not, the additional water pump should be used to drain water from the gutter to the surge tank.
• Do I want my pool to be the centrepiece of my house?

If you have a positive answer to all of these questions, the overflow pool is the right choice for you.

A 25 x 10 m stainless steel swimming pool with a maximum depth of 170 cm has a unique lifting floor that occupies 1/3 of the pool area. The lifting floor can be set to any depth according to the current track of visitors. For example, swimming lessons can be set to 60 cm below the water level. The water temperature in the pool is 28 °C, the pool also includes heated benches, and next to the pool is also a tepidarium (warm room). The swimming pool contains a tribune used by spectators, especially during swimming competitions.
