Intelligent design adapts to pool activity levels, making it easy to budget for
term-time as well as school holidays.
Recotherm’s indoor pool air handling units adjust dynamically depending on pool usage to reduce energy costs during quieter periods. This results in 300% improved energy-efficiency compared to other units.
We will deliver a tailored Building Energy Management strategy to meet specific requirements, whether that’s quieter periods during the day, busier sessions for swimming lessons or gala events.
We can also incorporate unique features such as bi-flo capability with lower temperatures for spectator areas.



























FAQs for School Pools
Recotherm has been specialising in the design of air handling units specifically for indoor swimming pools for over 40 years. Unlike generic ventilation systems, Recotherm units are engineered to withstand the high humidity and corrosive atmosphere of pool environments while maintaining optimal swimming pool ventilation. In particular the control strategy used in our units has been developed over 40 years experience to ensure the best environment for the lowest running cost.
Recotherm systems feature advanced energy-saving technologies such as heat recovery, significantly reducing running costs compared to conventional systems. These units also ensure superior air quality by efficiently removing chloramines and unwanted smells while maintaining balanced humidity levels. This makes them particularly suitable for leisure centres which have shared spaces around the pool that need to be kept fresh and odour-free.
No, this is a common misconception. Condensation forms when humid air comes into contact with surfaces colder than its dew point, rather than being solely dependent on air and water temperature differences. Swimming pool air handling units regulate humidity and temperature to maintain a stable environment, preventing condensation even when air temperature is below pool water temperature.
Recotherm’s indoor pool ventilation systems manage humidity levels effectively using precise energy control, ensuring that condensation does not form on windows, walls, or ceilings, protecting the structure of the building.
Yes, spa pools create significantly more moisture due to higher water temperatures and turbulence, increasing humidity levels. A swimming pool dehumidification system must be appropriately sized to handle this additional moisture load to prevent condensation and maintain a comfortable environment.
Recotherm’s indoor pool dehumidifiers can be designed to accommodate both swimming pools and spa pools, ensuring efficient humidity control and excellent air quality within leisure centres.
Not necessarily. While heat pump dehumidifiers can reduce humidity, they do not introduce fresh air, leading to stale environments and potential chlorine odours. Recotherm’s swimming pool air handling units prioritise fresh air intake to maintain optimal air quality, control humidity, and reduce long-term operational costs.
