Stainless steel pools from Třinec

Stainless steel plays an irreplaceable role in the industrial production of pools. The reasons are clear: it is robust, highly durable, provides a long lifespan for structures and exceptional static load capacity, and meets hygiene requirements. Designers and architects also appreciate its flexibility, which allows for the production of diverse, atypical products and opens up space for highly creative designs.

A traditional Czech manufacturer of stainless steel pools, hot tubs, and other water elements is the Třinec-based company AKVAHELP METAL, which recently celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in the market. Pools of this brand find their application both in Europe and beyond the old continent, and thanks to their durability and minimal maintenance requirements, they win the hearts of the most demanding clientele.

Wellness area in Poděbrady

Among the most acclaimed Czech implementations completed in recent years is the installation of a swimming pool and wellness facilities at the four-star Chariclea Hotel in Poděbrady, built on the site of the original Central Spa. AKVAHELP became involved in the project at a time when the entire structure was already architecturally defined. The main requirement of the investor was the production, delivery, installation, and commissioning of a pool combined with a hot tub, which is partially embedded in it and equipped with an air pipe head with hydromassage jets integrated into the wall.

The task of the manufacturer AKVAHELP was to complement the layout of the wellness attractions and to design their hydraulics and flows, including suction, so that all safety standards were met. It was necessary to ensure a quality height arrangement of the main pool, respect the placement of corners and diagonals of the tiling format, and the position of columns in the wellness space. The new pool has a capacity adequate to the size of the hotel and allows visitors to cover a large number of strokes in one direction. Comfortable entrances and exits are located in all corners of the tank.

The order also included a smaller adjacent pool with benches, divided by stairs into two parts, each of which can accommodate up to three people. In one half, a foot massage bubble is installed at the bottom of the tank, and on the opposite wall, three water spouts are placed in the back and neck area. A popular feature is also the traversable Kneipp path located along the interior wall. The stainless steel structure is divided into four basins, alternating hot and cold water. Passing through stimulates blood circulation while the feet are simultaneously massaged by pebbles at the bottom.

Infinite water surface and private sports use

Among the recent private references is a swimming lane situated near a private villa in South Moravia. The pool is twenty-two meters long, nearly one and a half meters deep, and features a so-called infinity overflow channel that creates the impression of an endless water surface. The investor followed the manufacturer's recommendation and also equipped the tank with a set of hydromassage jets.

Notable is not only the overall design of the pool, its effective lighting, and well-executed connection to the paved terrace and concrete wall at the edge of the plot, but especially the integration of the tank into the sloping terrain. The installation required the use of a crane and piloting, as well as the construction of a dividing wall in combination with gabions that collectively support the massive structure. The relevant technologies, including a heat pump, are stored in a monolithic niche in the slope, thereby maximizing the reduction of their operational noise while maintaining the specific character of the garden. Both the hydraulic entry to the technical space and the water accumulation are direct structural components of the pool itself. The coverage of the tank is provided fully by a lamella roller shutter, whose niche with a front cover is embedded in the short wall of the pool and does not obstruct even during competitive swimming turns.

Implementation and design from A to Z

The process of designing the pool and defining the final product should ideally take place in the early design phase and consider all requirements for future use of the tank. Installation of the surrounding walls is preceded by the installation of a coping profile around the entire perimeter of all structures, onto which the waterproofing of the pool rim is connected. Reconstructions can also be carried out in clean operations without polluting the surroundings with a quantity of small construction parts.

AKVAHELP executes projects in a completely cohesive engineering manner. It ensures the design of the layout, including atypical attractions, full water hydraulics, electrical installations (measurement and regulation), and more. Collaborating architects and designers have access to all necessary data: technical reports, situations, sections, or 3D modeling with visualizations; everything is compatible with BIM technology.
