Better pools. Better impact.
The way a pool is designed, equipped, operated, and maintained shapes its environmental and social performance.
PositivePool provides the principles, evidence, and tools to understand, measure, and improve that impact.
Designed for better outcomes.
PositivePool evidence is organized into three complementary categories: real swimming pool use cases, product and service impact evidence, and tools that support impact assessment and decision-making.
Use cases show how specific combinations of technologies, services and operational procedures can improve the environmental and social performance of residential and commercial pools.
Examples may include water-saving strategies, energy-efficient operation, safer pool environments, inclusive access, improved user wellbeing or more responsible pool management.
Products and services can generate positive impact when they are properly selected, installed and operated.
This category explains the contribution of technologies such as pool covers, variable speed pumps, efficient filtration, low-salinity water treatment, heat pumps, automation, sensors, digital services and maintenance procedures.
Assessment tools help translate sustainability principles into structured criteria, indicators and evidence.
This category should include tools, methodologies, evaluation frameworks, calculators, audit approaches, certification schemes and decision-support mechanisms that help assess the impact of swimming pools.
A swimming pool is not only a set of products. It is a system where design choices, equipment, operation, maintenance and user behavior interact.
Use cases help illustrate how positive impact can be created in different pool contexts, from private residential pools to hotels, wellness facilities, public pools, sports centers and community infrastructures.

Every product or service used in a swimming pool influences its impact. The key is not only choosing efficient technologies, but combining them correctly and operating them in the right way.
This section explains how different solutions contribute to water efficiency, energy efficiency, chemical optimization, safety, health, wellbeing and social value.
Saves 45% energy while maintaining daily recirculations with an EN 17645 pattern (10, 30, 60).
Quiet operation at medium and low speeds.
Wider operating range and filtration speeds thanks to speed variation.
Better filtration quality at medium and low speeds.
Generates chlorine on-site, eliminating the need for transportation, storage, and handling.
Doses chlorine and adjusts chlorine levels according to the pool's needs, preventing over or under-dosing thanks to the automatic dosing/generation system.
Enables subsequent uses of the water and facilitates its disposal by maintaining a low salinity level.
Complies with the low salinity regulations for wastewater, currently in effect in some municipalities.
Reduces evaporation by 95% while the cover is in place and by up to 50% annually depending on usage patterns.
Reduces heat loss by 45%.
Facilitates water heating through solar radiation.
Prevents access to the pool while covered, reducing drowning risks.
Minimises chemical treatment consumption by preventing evaporation and product degradation, whether in chemical product or in hours of salt chlorinator use.
Saves up to 85% energy compared to an electric heater or boiler thanks to its high COP, which can reach up to 92% when used in combination with a cover.
Inverter technology allows for higher COPs at higher operating ranges.
Enables an extended bathing season and enjoyment of the pool.
In Smart and Eco Silence modes, the noise level of the heat pump is practically inaudible.
Reduces backwash water consumption by almost 93%.
Provides superior filtration quality compared to sand and glass filters.
Its small size makes it ideal for installation in any booth or technical room.
Very easy to maintain for cleaning and cartridge replacement.
Limit access to the pool basin when not in use and receive alerts for uncontrolled entries.
Perimeter fences.
Drowning alarm systems.
AI-based systems and image processing.
To demonstrate positive impact, it is necessary to assess it. PositivePool promotes the use of structured tools that help evaluate how pools perform, identify improvement opportunities and support better decisions.
These tools can be used by pool professionals, operators, owners, engineers, architects and institutions.
