SPASA Pool of the Year 2013

The swimming pool is surrounded by gently sloping hills and lush vineyards – a view the clients didn’t want interrupted by necessary pool equipment. As such, the proposed equipment location was over 50 m from the pool structure, concealed within the distant tree-line. This meant that the pipe size had to be increased to 80 mm to offset friction losses and careful planning was required to ensure that the pipework would cause no conflict with the proposed footings.
