Here is a clear breakdown:

  • The pump room is the heart of your pool.

  • The pump room is the engine room of your pool, where water is circulated and filtered, Its is simple yet crucial.

  • It keeps your pool water clean, safe and crystal clear.


What equipment will you find inside?


The inverter pool pump

Modern pool systems use an inverter pump rather than a standard one.


Why inverter pumps?

  • They automatically adjust their speed based on the pool’s needs.

  • They provide better filtration flow, especially at lower speeds, which improves filtration quality.

  • They reduce electrical consumption by up to 50% compared to traditional pumps.

  • They operate more quietly and last longer.

  • The filter is filled with AFM (Activated Filter Media).

  • Instead of traditional sand, we use AFM (Activated Filter Media), a self-sterilising filtration material.

  • It captures debris, dust, dirt and even microscopic particles, helping to maintain crystal-clear water.


Compared to sand, AFM offers:

  • A longer lifespan.

  • Higher filtration performance.

  • Lower maintenance.

 

Additional equipment (optional).

Depending on your pool setup, you might also find the following useful:

  • Salt chlorinators.

  • UV or ozone systems.

  • Heating systems.

  • Chemical dosing pumps.

 

Why is the pump room so important?

Without this hidden hub, your pool water wouldn't stay clean for long.

The pump room ensures:

  • Continuous water circulation.

  • Efficient removal of debris and dirt.

  • Optimal energy efficiency with inverter pump technology.
