Plant room & pipework
Connect everything. Keep everything accessible.
The plant room brings together the equipment that keeps your pool working. It is designed with buried pipework so circuits stay understandable and serviceable after finishing.
- Suction and return identified
- Valves and removable unions
- Space for maintenance
Follow the water route
Suction feeds the strainer and pump, then the filter. Optional heating and treatment are connected according to their manuals before the return inlets. Bypasses and sensors depend on the selected equipment.
Make every branch understandable
Pipes are identified and valves remain accessible. A vacuum point has pipework suited to its use. Main drains and their protection require specific design; safety cannot be inferred from an image.
In this guideAllow room around equipment
Removing a basket, lifting a cartridge, dismantling a cell or reading a gauge must remain possible. Plan a dry, ventilated, accessible room with drainage suited to its location.
Hand over an identified installation
At commissioning, we explain normal valve positions, operation and shutdown. Circulation and safety functions are checked against manuals. Chemicals are stored separately according to their requirements.

Conceptual diagram: equipment, valves and bypasses are adapted to the project. Optional heating goes before treatment according to the equipment manuals.
How large should the plant room be?
It depends on equipment and service clearances. We design it for the complete installation, not pump size alone.
Can heating be added later?
It can be anticipated with reserved space and suitable services. Power, flow and outdoor location must be checked.
Must the plant room be close to the pool?
Distance and elevation affect pipework and pump choice. They are considered alongside access and noise.

Filtration
Pump, filter and pipework work together. We select a system suited to the pool volume, its use and your maintenance preferences.

Filtration pump
The pump moves water from the pool through filtration and equipment to the returns. Power alone is not enough to choose: pipework and required flow come first.

Heat pump
A heat pump transfers energy from outdoor air to the water. Model selection considers the pool, climate, swimming season and desired temperature.
