The advantages and disadvantages of the movable bottom swimming pool

What if you no longer had to choose between the terrace and the swimming pool? Do you think it's impossible? It's because you don't know about the removable swimming pool ! Aboral presents this revolutionary concept to you!

What is a movable floor swimming pool?

The principle of a movable bottom pool is as simple as it is ingenious: the depth of your pool can be adapted on demand. The result is a modular pool: the depth adapts according to the users and their activities.

How a movable floor pool works

The operation of a movable-floor swimming pool can be compared to that of an elevator: the vertical movement is carried out by a traction system using stainless steel cables. These cables support the entire platform and are driven by a submersible motor or by hydraulic cylinders .
The control system is very simple: it is generally limited to a single button accessible with a key for greater security, and placed at a minimum height of 1.50 m.

The advantages of a movable floor swimming pool

A movable-floor pool has several advantages over more traditional pool models. The first advantage is safety , especially when young children are present. It is possible to completely remove the pool, which means that children can have fun in complete safety in the outdoor areas. They will only have access to the water when you decide to, and therefore in your presence.
The second advantage is obviously the modularity of this type of pool. The depth of the pool adapts to the activity you want to do. You can therefore opt for a maximum depth if you want to swim, or on the contrary opt for a lesser depth for your aquagym sessions. A pool with a movable floor adapts even to the youngest users: it can go from a deep pool to a paddling pool in no time, suitable for young children.
The modularity offered by the movable floor swimming pool makes it a system particularly suited to people with reduced mobility who will be able to access the pool in complete safety, allowing the water level to rise gradually, up to the desired level.
Finally, if the movable-floor swimming pool has quickly found its audience, it is also thanks to the space saving it offers. It can be installed in place of the terrace, without this meaning replacing it.

The disadvantages of the movable bottom swimming pool

Although the concept of a movable floor swimming pool is attractive and offers many advantages, this system also has several disadvantages, including its price and the maintenance required for such a system.
If the disadvantages of a movable floor pool are too restrictive, there is an alternative: the sloping bottom pool. The pool is then built with a compound slope allowing for a relaxation and play area for children with a shallow depth (around 1 meter) and a deeper swimming area that can range from 1.60m to 1.95m.

How much does a movable bottom pool cost?

Prices for the smallest pools start at around €20,000 , and can quickly soar to €50,000 for a larger pool, or a pool with more restrictive shapes. The price difference observed with a classic pool is explained in particular by more significant work, and especially the purchase and installation of the pool elevation system.
