Energy Efficient
With a large volume of water that requires constant heating and cleaning a swimming pool is not a very energy efficient addition to a home. There are measures that can be taken which can greatly improve the energy efficiency of you swimming pool.
Below is a selection of pools which have these techniques to reduce running costs and improve the pools efficiency.

Take over the basement pool works.
Basement Pool
Works on this basement pool were started by a local swimming pool company. The client ran out of patience and cheque books and asked for Brookforge to take over the pool works.
Brookforge worked with the completed bare pool shell. We explained all the aesthetic options to the client. High spec options were chosen: Stainless steel shell fittings, a Covrex automatic slatted cover, fibre optic lighting, energy saving Pentair Intelliflo pumps, Besgo automatic backwash valves, ozone water treatment and automatic chlorine and pH dosing.

ICF Pool wall construction
A new build pool in NW2. Working closely with the architect, client and main contractor Brookforge have designed and constructed a fully insulated Quadlock pool shell.
Having just passed its watertightness tests, the pool will be tiled and have stainless steel wall fittings. There will be a Calorex air source heat pump to efficiently heat the pool and a Covrex automatic cover to retain the heat. Updates to follow…

Indoor Insulated Overflow Pool
Insulated Indoor Overflow Pool
Working directly with the end user and their construction team, Brookforge designed, installed and commissioned this indoor overflow pool.
The pool was constructed using our Quadlock Pool ICF shuttering system and benefitted from a very subtle slot overflow channel hidden beneath the copings and surround tile.
The QuadlockPool system enabled one wall of the pool hall to be built directly on top of the pool wall, maximising pool surround space elswhere in the swimming pool building.
The pool featured semi-circular entry steps and submerged bench seating running along the full length of the pool.
The swimming pool and its overflow channel, plus the balance tank were waterproofed with Brookforge’s unique spray applied, flexible tanking membrane.
All the pool shell fittings were made in polished stainless steel and a high flowrate counter current unit was installed in the deep end wall.
As the pool hall had large amounts of glass windows it was critical that a correctly sized, fully ducted air handling unit was installed to ensure that the humidity, air temperature and water temperature were kept at the optimum levels.
