Waterco powers the wellness industry with premium water filtration
The wellness industry has become a major driver in global tourism, with high-end aquatic facilities serving as a key attraction for travellers. According to research from the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), the wellness economy soared to $5.6 trillion in 2022.
As wellness destinations continue to thrive, London has emerged as a hotspot for health and fitness. A new wave of specialist clinics and curated wellness spaces are incorporating Waterco’s advanced water filtration solutions to create world-class pool and spa experiences — all while reducing energy and water consumption.
The preferred choice for premium wellness facilities
Elite wellness clubs recognise that exceptional spa and pool experiences depend on superior water quality. Among them, Third Space, one of London’s most exclusive members-only health clubs, sets the standard for holistic wellness.
“Third Space is more than a gym — it’s a sanctuary for health enthusiasts, a hub for community engagement, and a haven for those seeking holistic wellness,” says Tony Fisher, Waterco Division CEO, North America and Europe.
With its cutting-edge design, state-of-the-art facilities, and innovative approach to fitness, Third Space’s new Richmond location has quickly become a sought-after destination for those looking to enhance both body and mind.
Spanning approximately 30,000 square feet across the basement, ground, and first floors, amenities include a fully equipped gym, dedicated studios for Pilates, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), hot yoga, and spinning. Additionally, the club boasts a 20-metre swimming pool, complemented by luxurious spa facilities including a hydrotherapy pool, sauna and steam room, all designed and constructed by multi-award-winning Aquascapes.
“We work by a so-called ‘Red Box’ concept whereby we draw a hypothetical red box around an area — in this instance the complete pool hall and plant room areas — and construct and install everything within that area including plumbing, ducting, electrics, plant equipment and finishes etc., to name but a few!” explains Aquascapes Office Manager Sally Ansell. “An element that we are particularly proud of in this project is the Anodised Bronze Aluminium Architectural Fins that border the main pool and were designed and installed by Aquascapes, having sought a local company to manufacture them.”
Advanced filtration technology
This premium wellness and fitness retreat depends on Waterco’s advanced filtration technology to maintain consistently pristine water quality, even during peak usage. In a high-traffic club where hundreds of members use the pool and spa facilities daily, effective filtration is critical for managing bather load hygiene.
