Colorado, USA
Given the small footprint of this pool, 4m x 3m (13’ x 10’) Akvo’s Spiralift technology allows for an impressive maximum depth of 3m (10’).
Akvo’s patented Spiralift technology makes this high travel possible without any cables or guide rails visible in the pool. The sleek, simple equipment is put on display in Colorado through two large windows in the pool shell.
Spectators in the house’s basement can watch the lift in motion, or watch the flat screen display through the pool. Perfect for Shark Week!

Hotel Dream Hollywood, Hollywood (CA), USA
The Akvo movable pool floor at the Dream Hotel in Hollywood has turned the rooftop pool into a money-making amenity.
Patrons enjoy the pool in the daytime. In the evening, the pool can be closed at the push of a button. By recuperating the valuable square footage on the rooftop, the hotel can host guests, throw parties and organize private events. Because there is no open pool, the space is safe for patrons to enjoy. Commercial loading capacity 250kg/m² (51 lbs/sq.ft) means there are no restrictions to usage of the space.
