Top 10 questions about a movable swimming pool floor

A movable pool floor typically consists of a floating platform that can be raised or lowered hydraulically inside a swimming pool. The platform allows the pool to be used at varying depths for a multitude of activities. Allowing the movable floor to change depths greatly increases the pool’s flexibility.

Some benefits of a movable pool floor include maximizing pool space utilization, allowing for multi-purpose use of the pool, providing flexibility in pool depth and configuration, enhancing safety by adjusting water depth for different users, as well as converting into an effective pool cover when not in use by raising the floor up sitting slightly above water level.

Yes, a movable pool floor can be installed in existing pools, although it may require modifications to the pool structure. Professional installation by our Variopool experts is typically required to ensure proper integration with the existing pool.

There are various types of movable pool floors available, including hydraulic systems, telescopic systems, and floating systems. Hydraulic systems use hydraulics to raise and lower the floor elements, while telescopic systems feature sliding panels. Floating systems utilize buoyancy to adjust the water depth which is the most common and preferred option. This is the Variopool option.

The cost of a movable pool floor can vary depending on factors such as the size of the pool, the type of system, customization options, installation requirements, and location. It is recommended to contact our international account managers for specific pricing information.

The weight capacity of a movable pool floor depends on the specific system and its design. It is determined by factors such as the load-bearing capacity of the floor panels and the hydraulic or mechanical components. Variopool can provide information regarding the weight capacity of their specific systems.

Yes, safety is an important consideration for movable pool floors. Many systems include safety sensors to prevent accidents, such as detecting obstacles or people in the water before lowering the floor. Some systems may also have childproof locks or require key access for operation. Adhering to local safety regulations and guidelines is essential.

While movable pool floors offer versatility, there may be certain limitations or restrictions to consider. These could include weight restrictions, depth limitations, specific maintenance requirements, and potential limitations on the types of activities that can be conducted when the floor is raised. Understanding the specific capabilities and limitations of the chosen system is important.
