Ideal air solutions for pool operations, maintenance

Corrosive chemicals and poor ventilation can ruin a day at the pool. However, the right combination of fabrics and flow models prevents the indoor air quality of pool areas from taking a nosedive while providing an aesthetic discreet duct profile.

How we solve issues in swimming pools

  • Condensation free
  • Constant and even airflow
  • No water evaporation while removing chloramines

We have the experience and the know how to guide you through your project

Even air distribution

Distributes air evenly throughout the facility

Easy installation

As simple as it gets; no heavy machinery or special tools required

Long lifespan

Proven durability for decades to come

Corrosion-resistant

Fabric does not rust and specifically designed suspensions for harsh environments prolongs the lifespan of the system

Impact resistant

Ducts are flexible and can maintain their shape even after accidental bumps

High Indoor Air Quality

Creates a perfect and draft-free environment for a nice day at the pool

WaterMarc, Australia

“Fabric ducts were chosen for this project because they are the most suitable in a corrosive environment and will not be affected like metal ducts would have. The architect was happy with the fabric ducts from an aesthetic perspective; the attractive look of the ducts makes them a part of the architecture and acts as great decorative element. But most important was that it is suitable in a corrosive environment.”

Michael Becker, Air Conditioning Systems

Correct fabric configuration keeps corrosion in check

FAQ

Indoor pools combine high humidity, condensation risk, and chemical compounds from pool water. These conditions can be especially demanding for exposed metal components and make effective air movement, humidity control, and material selection important parts of the HVAC design.

For WaterMarc, corrosion resistance was a key consideration because of the pool environment’s high humidity and chemical exposure. The architect also wanted the duct system to contribute to the visual design, so colored fabric ducts provided both a technical and architectural solution.

The textile duct itself does not rust like conventional metal ductwork. When the fabric system is combined with suspension components selected for corrosive environments, it can reduce the corrosion-related maintenance challenges associated with humid pool facilities.

Effective pool ventilation needs to move contaminated air away from the occupied zone and toward the exhaust system while avoiding excessive air velocity over swimmers and the water surface. Fabric air distribution can be engineered to provide controlled, uniform airflow without relying on a few concentrated high-velocity outlets.
