Moving floor pools are transforming how we think about swimming and functionality in the home. The Hydrofloors system lets you turn your pool into a versatile space with the touch of a button. Whether you want to use it as a swim area, an entertainment space, or even an office or extra accommodation, a movable pool floor allows you to change the space to suit your needs.

The Basics Of Moving Floor Pools

At the heart of a movable pool floor is an ingenious system that allows the floor to rise and fall according to your needs. It’s essentially a double floor that floats on buoyancy and can be moved up or down, turning your pool into a flexible space that adapts to different uses.

The floor is made from stainless steel beams carefully engineered to the exact specifications of your pool. This structure ensures maximum load-bearing capacity, allowing the floor to hold significant weight. The floor's surface is made of 3mm thick plates, designed to be tiled or finished according to your preferred design, whether with tiles, mosaic, or natural stone.

How The Floor Moves

The secret behind the moving floor is the integration of buoyancy packs and a hydraulic lifting system. Foam buoyancy packs are installed beneath the floor's surface. These foam packs allow the entire floor to float, offering positive buoyancy. This buoyancy ensures the moving floor can be pulled down, not pushed up.

Hydrofloors systems come in two variants: the Dreamline and Streamline. Both use water-based hydraulic cylinders to raise and lower the floor but differ in the mechanism. The Dreamline uses cables to pull the floor to the desired depth, while the Streamline uses Scissor lifts to achieve the same effect. Both systems provide the same ultimate flexibility—depending on your needs, your pool floor can be raised or lowered to any pre-set depth.

Load-Bearing Capacity For Versatile Use

One of the most impressive features of Hydrofloors moving floor is the load-bearing capacity. When the floor is fully raised to its dry-deck position, it can hold up to 250 kg/m². For example, in a 4x10 meter pool, this translates to an extraordinary 10,000 kg of weight—or 125 people dancing on the floor. This makes the floor ideal for family gatherings, parties or simply hosting guests while keeping your pool area flexible and functional.

Even when the floor is lowered to a shallow or medium depth, the system is still robust enough to allow a group of people to enjoy the space safely. Whether using your pool for a family swim, hosting a party or transforming it into a serene wellness space, the moving floor technology can adapt accordingly.

Seamless Control For Ultimate Convenience

The beauty of the Hydrofloors moving floor pool system is its ease of use. The floor can be controlled via an intelligent touchscreen, which allows you to preset up to 10 different depth settings. With a simple touch, you can raise or lower the floor in minutes. This level of convenience makes Hydrofloors the perfect solution for homes where the pool space needs to serve multiple functions.

Why Choose A Moving Floor Pool?

Hydrofloors moving floors are an innovative solution for homeowners who want a pool that can evolve with their needs. It’s more than just a swimming space—it’s a multifunctional area that can be customised for entertainment, exercise, relaxation and more. The system’s flexibility is the perfect solution for modern living.
