As construction technologies evolve, modern homeowners are seeking innovative ways to make the most of their space without compromising on luxury. One standout solution gaining popularity is the hydraulic pool — a stunning combination of engineering and design that allows a swimming pool’s floor to raise or lower with the push of a button.
What Is a Hydraulic Pool?
A hydraulic pool, also known as a movable floor pool, features an adjustable floor system powered by a hydraulic mechanism. This system enables the pool’s depth to change or even disappear completely, transforming it into a patio, dance floor, or usable outdoor space.
Benefits of Hydraulic Pools
-
Space Efficiency
Ideal for urban homes or limited outdoor spaces, hydraulic pools allow a single area to serve multiple purposes. Whether you need a kids’ play area during the day or a full-size pool in the evening, the same space adapts instantly. -
Safety
With adjustable depth, the pool can be made shallower for children or raised completely to eliminate the risk of accidental falls. It’s a great solution for families prioritizing safety without installing fences or covers. -
Energy Efficiency
When closed, the retractable floor also acts as a thermal cover, preserving heat and reducing energy consumption — a practical advantage for eco-conscious homeowners. -
Aesthetic Appeal
Hydraulic pools are visually seamless. When the pool is hidden, the area looks like a high-end patio, adding to the property’s overall aesthetic and value.
How Does It Work?
The pool’s floor is supported by a steel frame connected to hydraulic cylinders. These components are engineered to move smoothly and safely, supporting the weight of people when the pool is “hidden.” The system is controlled via a secure panel or remote system, with custom settings for different depths or configurations.
