Recovery zones for gyms and clubs

Shared cold water in a climate that is warm every day of the year is the hardest hygiene case in this trade, and it is where most club installations here go wrong.

Indicative band: 104 – 220 thousand SCR, supplied and installed in Seychelles.

Recovery zones for gyms and clubs

Hygiene is the design

Warm ambient accelerates everything that grows in water. Circulation, cartridge filtration and an ozone or UV stage are mandatory, not options, and a rinse shower at the entry point turns a weekly water change into a monthly one.

A visible cleaning schedule with a name against it does more for water quality than any single piece of equipment we could sell you.

Throughput

Two to four minutes in the water plus changeover gives ten to fifteen people per tub per hour. Size on your busiest hour rather than your membership list, and expect to need one more position than you first imagined.

Floor and slab

Falls to a channel drain, a non-slip surface that survives chlorine, and a towel point that keeps wet feet off the gym floor. A 900-litre tub is close to a tonne before anyone gets in, so the slab gets checked before we quote.

In short

  • Circulation, filtration and ozone or UV are mandatory in this climate
  • Rinse shower at entry turns a weekly water change into a monthly one
  • 10–15 people per tub per hour at peak
  • Slab detail checked before quoting anything holding water
Questions

Gym & club zones in Seychelles

How often will we change the water?

Monthly with proper treatment and a rinse point, weekly without.

How many tubs do we need?

Size on your busiest hour. Most clubs here need three rather than the two they planned.

What does it cost to run?

The chiller runs year round, so it is a steady monthly figure. We give it to you with the quote.
