Beyond the Pool: Engineering Complete Hydrotherapy Solutions

When it comes to hydrotherapy facilities, the pool is only part of the story. Creating a safe, accessible and reliable environment requires every element to work together seamlessly.

That's why Wrightfield Pools designs and manufactures not only premium stainless steel pools, but also the bespoke engineering solutions that make them practical for every user.

A project at Broomfield Care Home in Chelmsford demonstrates this approach. The installation centred around a bespoke 4m x 3m stainless steel hydrotherapy pool, manufactured as a single-piece structure for rapid installation. Built on a fully welded 304 stainless steel support frame with a polished 316 stainless steel shell, the pool was factory tested, spray insulated and supplied complete with integrated drains, skimmers and connection points before arriving on site.

Equally important was the disabled access lift, designed and manufactured in-house to provide safe and dignified access for residents requiring assisted hydrotherapy. Rather than relying on off-the-shelf solutions, Wrightfield engineered a fully stainless steel hydraulic scissor lift featuring a durable embossed HDPE platform, removable handrails and a water hydraulic drive system that eliminates the risk of contaminating the pool water.

Designed to lift up to 250kg through a full metre of travel, the platform offers smooth, controlled movement while remaining discreetly integrated into the surrounding pool structure.

By designing the pool, access lift and associated engineering as one complete system, Wrightfield ensures every component is manufactured to the same exacting standards of quality, durability and reliability. This integrated approach simplifies installation, improves long-term performance and gives clients a single specialist partner from concept through to commissioning.

Whether it's stainless steel pools, moving pool floors, access platforms or bespoke hydraulic systems, Wrightfield Pools combines precision engineering with practical design to create solutions that enhance accessibility, maximise longevity and deliver exceptional performance for commercial and therapeutic swimming environments.
