Hydrotherapy Pool Design and Build
Hydrotherapy pools are warm water pools kept at a temperature of around 33C to 36C, they often include massaging or relaxing features such as massage jets or underwater bubble loungers.

Their pools feature a wide variety of jet options that can be customised to provide targeted massage and relaxation, catering to different needs and preferences.

Therapeutic and wellness properties of a hydrotherapy pool
Warm water bathing, massage jets, and underwater bubble loungers set the scene to inspire relaxation, self-care or rehabilitation. Hydrotherapy pools can be used for slow exercise which can boost stamina, strengthen muscles and help with mobility and pain management. Hydro pools can also be adapted for specialised exercises and rehabilitation.
Guncast bespoke hydrotherapy pools with shallow steps address mobility issues without compromising on style and elegance. Manual or electronic hoists or ramps for easy access, and anti-slip pool floor or handrails can also be incorporated into the design.

Frequently asked questions
What are the main differences between a typical swimming pool and a hydrotherapy pool?
Hydrotherapy pools are heated up to 36 degrees for therapeutic purposes. The warm water relieves muscle stress and tension for complete relaxation. They feature built-in custom massage jets and other water features which can assist with boosting health and wellbeing. Hydro pools can compliment a traditional swimming pool or enhance your spa facilities.
What materials are your swimming pools made of?
Our pools are constructed with a reinforced concrete shell for durability, waterproofed with modern tanking systems, and finished with high-quality tiles, either mosaic or porcelain. This approach ensures long-lasting strength, water-tightness, and a premium aesthetic.
How long will my Guncast swimming pool last?
Our pools are designed for long-term durability, with a concrete shell that can last several decades. We offer a 10-year warranty on the shell, 3 years on finishes, and 1 year on filtration systems. Proper maintenance ensures your pool remains a lasting investment.
Do I have to use chlorine in my swimming pool?
A truly chlorine-free pool is unlikely unless you opt for a natural pool with reed beds. Conventional pools require chlorine for hygiene, though alternative disinfection methods like ozone systems can reduce chlorine levels significantly. Saltwater pools also produce chlorine via electrolysis. In summary, chlorine is necessary to ensure water safety.
Will I need planning permission for my swimming pool?
Planning permission may be required if your property is a listed building, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), or if you’ve given up permitted development rights. Indoor pools may also require permission based on building regulations and project scope. Consult your local planning authority for specific advice.
What is the time scale to build a swimming pool?
For an outdoor pool, expect around 16 weeks of construction, although this can vary depending on the broader project. Indoor pools typically take longer due to dependencies on the overall build.
