Swimming pool water treatment and filtration systems are critical for maintaining safe, clean, and healthy water. Over time, these systems naturally wear out or become less efficient, which can lead to higher operating costs, inconsistent water quality, and potential compliance issues. Refurbishing or replacing outdated technology ensures optimal performance, energy efficiency, and adherence to modern safety standards. At FT Leisure, we provide comprehensive refurbishment services for all public pools, helping you extend the life of your facilities and keep them running at their best.

Condition Surveys

Our condition surveying services are designed to give you a complete understanding of the health and performance of your swimming pool systems. We offer both intrusive and non-intrusive surveys, tailored to your operational needs. During a site visit, our specialists assess all water treatment and filtration technology, examining the operating condition of each component and identifying any signs of wear or inefficiency. This proactive approach helps prevent unexpected failures and ensures your facility remains safe, compliant, and cost-effective. We evaluate the remaining service life of critical equipment and review the overall system design against current pool water treatment guidelines.

Following the initial non-intrusive survey, we can offer a range of more intrusive surveys:

Electrical inspection
Pool tank static testing
Pool pipework pressure testing
Tile surveys
Grille compliance testing
Water testing
Internal filter inspections
Dye testing
Balance tank inspections

Energy Assessments

Our energy assessment surveys are designed to help you optimize the performance and reduce the operating costs of your swimming pool systems. During a site visit, we review the entire water treatment and filtration setup, assessing hydraulic efficiency, pump and motor performance, heating systems, control strategies, pool covers, variable speed drives etc.

We also identify opportunities for enhancements that improve energy efficiency and sustainability, ensuring your plant operates at peak performance while meeting modern standards. There are many technologies available in the market now to reduce costs with water/heat recycling systems and instrumentation available to ensure you can monitor the system output against your bather loads.

Plant Replacement

When your pool water treatment and filtration system reaches the end of its serviceable life or can no longer deliver the water quality you require, we offer a complete plant replacement service. This includes a full design solution tailored to your facility, ensuring compliance with current standards and optimal performance. In addition to full system replacements, we can upgrade individual components or introduce enhancements, such as UV disinfection systems or new dosing systems, to improve water quality and efficiency. Our goal is to provide a reliable, future-proof solution that keeps your pool operating at its best.

Filter Refurbishments

PWTAG recommend that media in filters should be replaced every 7-10 years. For steel filters, this is also an opportunity to replace the internal lining of the filter. FT Leisure offers a full filter refurbishment service, including;

Media replacement
Shotblasting and relining (steel filters)
Underdrain replacement
Support concrete repairs/replacement (steel filters)
Access manways for design compliance
External painting
Shell repair, patching or banding

For GRP filters that have reached end of life, we offer a full replacement service.

Moveable Floor Refurbishment

Moveable floors have been incorporated in UK public swimming facilities for over 30 years. Clearly a moveable floor has perishable materials such as cables, gaskets, seals etc. These tend to be assessed and replaced as necessary under a service contract. After a period of use, some of the more fundamental components of the floor can start to deteriorate, such as the surface panels, the buoyancy units and the hydraulic operating systems. Due to our knowledge of moveable floor design and installation, having installed over 100 moveable floor systems, we offer a complete refurbishment service. We can visit your site to assess the condition of the floor and with our in house commercial diving team, we can survey all underwater parts.

All our manufacturing is carried out in house by our expert team of fabrication engineers. Please get in touch if you are interested in a survey of your moveable floor.

Tank Lining Services

If your pool tank ceramics are damaged, unsightly, or you have structural concerns that could be causing water loss, we provide specialist resin lining solutions through our trusted subcontractors. Our resin lining service not only restores the appearance of your pool but also delivers a robust waterproofing layer, ensuring long-term protection and reliability. Whether it’s a pool tank or balance tank, this solution is ideal for improving aesthetics, preventing leaks, and extending the life of your facility.

Buried Pipework Solutions

Older pools often experience water loss due to damaged or broken pipework caused by ground movement or settlement, especially in inaccessible below-ground areas. We offer comprehensive diagnostic and repair services, including camera testing to accurately locate issues and prevent further damage. For cast iron pipework, we can provide worming and relining of straight runs to remove tuberculation and restore flow efficiency. Our solutions help extend the life of your pipework, reduce water loss, and improve overall system performance.
