Advantages of an EWAC Medical Modular Pool
EWAC Medical’s Modular pools offer a plethora of advantages over traditional concrete pools:
Modular Design
These pools are crafted in distinct sections or modules within our controlled factory environment. This ensures that each module is easily transportable and can be seamlessly assembled on-site.
Quick Installation
A standout benefit of modular swimming pools is their swift installation. As the bulk of the construction occurs off-site, the on-site assembly is expedited, making it much faster than the installation of traditional pools.
Customization
The modular nature of these pools allows for a high degree of customization. They can be tailored to various shapes, sizes, and depths. Additionally, features such as built-in steps, benches, and swim-out areas can be incorporated. This ensures that each pool can be uniquely designed to meet the specific desires and requirements of the customer.
Materials
Crafted from stainless steel, these modular pools promise durability. Stainless steel is renowned for its longevity, ensuring that the pool will serve its purpose for many decades.
Cost Efficiency
While the initial investment for a modular pool might be higher due to the prefabrication process, the long-term savings are significant. The reduced construction time, coupled with substantial savings in maintenance and repair costs, makes it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Portability
A unique feature of EWAC Medical’s modular pools is their portability. If circumstances change, these pools can be disassembled and relocated, making them an ideal choice for those who might consider relocating in the future.
Quality Control
The controlled factory environment in which the pool components are manufactured ensures superior quality control. This results in a product with consistent dimensional accuracy and a high standard of quality.
In summary, EWAC Medical’s Modular pools are not only a modern and innovative solution but also a long-term, cost-effective, and customizable choice for those considering a swimming pool.
Every desirable size
The pool is available in standard sizes ranging from 2x3m to a maximum of 20x20m. Various shapes are possible. Many other options are available for the EWAC modular pool, such as observation windows, handrails, a counter current system, an underwater massage system, underwater lighting, stairs with a landing, an integrated water hydraulic lift with a seat, and so on. A recent advancement is the addition of an underwater treadmill to the pool. For additional information, please see our product configurator.
With skimmers or overflow rim
A modular pool can be produced in any depth necessary. Multiple depths are also possible. The modular pool can be fitted with either skimmers or an overflow rim. Injection points located in the modular pool wall are used to reinject treated water into the pool. Therefore the pool floor is entirely flush. The modular pool is equipped with a drain so that it can be emptied completely.
EWAC Medical not only provides modular pools, but also actively participates in the acquisition and dissemination of hydrotherapy knowledge. On this page, you will find more detailed information about all of the factors that must be considered when using a modular pool during rehabilitation.
The pool itself is made of stainless steel (AISI 316) panels. The smooth inner sides of the pool make cleaning the waterline easier. The bottom panels have a thick isolation layer that eliminates minor imperfections in the surface on which the pool is installed. The pool’s exterior is finished with white aluminum sandwich panels that can be decorated. The upper edge is stainless steel with rounded corners.
Overview of the possiblities (also see our product configurator):
- Adjustable floor — By using a movable swimming pool floor the depth of a pool can be adjusted, and with that also the load on the lower limbs and back of the patient. An adjustable depth makes it possible to create the right circumstances necessary for proper rehabilitation.
- Underwater treadmill — Underwater treadmill can be used to perform static walking exercises. The advantage is that the therapist can continuously watch and correct the patient’s movements from one position. This reduces the need for a large swimming pool.
- Observation window — Each side of the pool can be equipped with underwater windows. This provides the therapist a complete view of the actions performed by the patient.
- Underwater bicycle — The underwater bicycle is especially designed for exercising circular motion in water. The unique feature of the underwater bicycle is that the resistance increases progressively with the rotation speed of the pedals, which makes it extremely suitable for rehabilitation purposes.
- Entrance steps with landing — To make the pool more accessible it can be equipped with steps that also contain a landing. This way mobile patients can either enter the pool with assistance, or on their own. Immobile patients can make use of a patient lift.
- Integrated pool lift — To get patients into the pool easily, the pool can be equipped with an integrated water hydraulic pool lift.
- Parallel bars — Parallel bars provided with bottom plates for easy placement in any random position in the pool. The parallel bars can be used to perform walking exercises.
- Obstacle course — For use in balancing exercises. Can be used in combination with Halliwick or the Bad Ragaz Ring method.
- Underwater camera — This special underwater camera enables the therapist to track the movements of the patients, and if necessary make recordings for further analysis. By comparing images from multiple sessions one can get a clear picture of the progress made by the patient.
- Hand rail — The handrail is located on the four inner sides of the pool. Patients can easily hold on to these handrails to stabilise themselves. The handrail can also be used to mount multiple accessories.
- Counter current unit or jetstream — Countercurrent unit or jetstream. A jetstream offers exercise resistance to the patient moving against the flow. A wall nozzle produces a strong water jet which is aimed at the patient, and depending of the required exercise load, can can be softened with air.
- Underwater lighting, cameras — Lighting is recommended to improve vision through e.g. underwater windows. The lighting can be monochrome or multi color. In addition, the pool can be equipped with an underwater camera for motion analysis.
- Overflow gutters — An overflow gutters is the best solution to maintaining an optimal water quality. Around the pool just the surface will be skimmed to remove floating particles out of the pool quickly. In countries where the highest demands on hygiene are set, overflow channels are compulsory.
- Skimmers — An alternative for overflow channels are skimmers. Skimmers will be built into one side of the pool, or more sides in case of larger pools. Skimmers also skim the surface of the water and are very effective in removing floating particles.
- Hydro massage — Hydro massage is a very useful tool for relaxation exercises. Three or four nozzles can be built into the side of the pool and provide a powerful water stream. This water stream can optionally be softened by mixing in air.
- Underwater massage — An underwater massage system can be built in for the therapist, so that the therapist can apply an underwater massage.
- Ceiling lift — A ceiling lift can be attached to the ceiling to lift patients in and out of the pool. The lift can be equipped with a special sling. The lift can be used to lift patients up to 250 kg/550 lbs.
- Pool cover — This cover will be produced corresponding to the measurements of the pool. The cover reduces evaporation of the water which helps to save energy.
- Water treatment — Depending on the size of the pool a customized (sand) filter system can be included. Built by EWAC Medical, our treatment plants meet the highest standards in the field of water according Dutch WHBVZ / Vlarem and DIN 19643.
