Fluidra 50th Anniversary

50 Years creating the perfect pool and wellness experience.

Half a century which is just the beginning of a journey of excellence based on innovation and growth. Founded in 1969, Fluidra celebrates its 50th anniversary in June 2019 with long-standing experience in developing innovative products and services in the global residential and commercial pool as well as wellness market. Thanks to you, these have been the first 50 years of a journey of excellence.

Magnapool, a brand that will make your pool water without any chlorine smell or any eyes and skin irritation, now here in Indonesia.

The story of our MagnaPool® mineral pool begins with the simple idea of creating a swimming pool more in harmony with nature. A pool that would be better for the environment and gentler on sensitive skin. MagnaPool® is the only trusted and authentic ‘no salt’ (sodium) mineral pool available. Our pools are beautiful to swim in, better for the environment and beneficial for your health and wellbeing

MagnaPool® is an exclusive chlorinator solution that combines the natural properties of the patented magnesium-based MagnaPool® minerals with an exceptionally fine filtration system.

Compared with conventional manual water treatment systems or salt water chlorinator solutions, MagnaPool® naturally slows the development of chloramines, molecules that can cause an unpleasant chlorine smell and eye or skin irritation.

Zodiac®’s research demonstrated that:

The MagnaPool® solution generates 40% fewer chloramines than salt water chlorinator solutions with conventional filtration.

Chloramines grow 4 times more slowly in a MagnaPool® pool than in water treated manually with chlorine or by salt water electrolysis.

With MagnaPool®, you are choosing an aquatic environment and water that are gentle on the skin, the hair and the eyes.

What you need to know about Infinity Pool

Infinity pools make you feel as if you are one with the horizon, floating above the landscape, luxuriating in sky, and finally understanding how it feels to be a bird. So…exactly how do infinity pool designers accomplish the disappearing act?

So many questions. If you’re adding a backyard pool, should you ask for a wildly Instagrammable #infinitypool design? Or will today’s design darlings go the way of the kidney-shaped pool of yesteryear? How much do infinity pools cost, anyway?

Read on for everything you need to know about infinity swimming pools.

1. What is an infinity pool?

An infinity pool, also known as a zero edge pool, looks like it disappears into the horizon. An infinity pool is designed to play a visual trick on the eye, making you think that there is no separation between the water and surrounding landscape features.

2. Who invented infinity pools?

Above: In a garden designed by Edmund Hollander, a modern-Gatsby infinity pool extends to the horizon and has an unobstrusive coping edge. For more, see Required Reading: The Private Oasis.

There’s a lot of debate about the historical precedents for today’s infinity swimming pools. In earlier centuries, recirculating fountains with water spilling over the edge into basins were precursors to infinity pools. In the US, modernist architect John Lautner began building swimming pools with a vanishing edge in southern California in the mid 20th century. One of his famous early designs, at the Silvertop home commissioned by industrialist Kenneth Reiner, was “a cantilevered swimming pool that seems to flow directly into Silver Lake Reservoir far below,” notes the LA Conservancy.

Today a “Lautner knife-edge design” refers to  an infinity pool where water flows outward to the edge of the pool at deck level and overflows into a slot at the edge.   The treatment of the coping distinguishes a Lautner knife-edge pool from an infinity pool with submerged coping where “you look down and see wet decking or coping material at the edge of the pool,” writes Brian Van Bower in Pool Spa News. “But when you approach a knife-edge perimeter-overflow pool, you look down inside the pool to the full depth of water and your feet remain dry. It’s a genuinely cool detail that creates a certain ‘wow’ factor, because it mystifies, intrigues and delights those who know nothing about how these systems are made.”

3. How do infinity pools work?

Above: A 10th-Century Castle Swimming Pool of the Week: A Modern Infinity Pool for a Medieval Castle.

To understand how an infinity pool’s design works, imagine a waterfall. You see water go over the edge of a waterfall and—disappear into thin air. What really happens, of course, is that the water flows down to a lower level and (depending on how steep a waterfall’s slope is) is captured in a lower pool, which then overflows again as more volume cascades down from the top.

An infinity pool is sort of like a waterfall with a single lower level—one section of the pool’s edge is lower, acting like a dam which overflows into a lower catch basin. From there, water is pumped back into the upper pool to create a continuous overflow.

4. What is an infinity pool edge?

An infinity pool’s edge is like the edge of any swimming pool, except that there’s a dip in one section of it to allow water to flow over, into a lower catchment basin. To create the disappearing-edge illusion, infinity pools are designed without a visible cap: at the deck level, there’s nothing—coping, pavers, or decking—to call attention to the edge.

5. What sites are best for infinity pools?

“An infinity-edge pool needs an appropriate setting,” says San Francisco-based landscape architect Scott Lewis. While it can be a striking design element, this type of pool works best on a site with a significant drop-off, he says.

6. What is the world’s best-known infinity pool?

Above: At the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, a rooftop swimming pool is 57 floors above street level and has a panoramic city view.

The most famous infinity pool in the world? That would be the cantilevered pool on the rooftop at the Marina Bay Sands hotel in Singapore.  People travel from around the world to swim in it or to take photos of it. The views of the city are dizzying. Check them out on Instagram: #marinabaysandspool.

7. How much does a typical infinity pool cost?

The catchment and recirculation systems in an infinity pool add a degree of difficulty—and expense—beyond a basic swimming pool. To prevent pool water from flowing in the wrong direction, you also need a vacuum basin, plus a special filtration system to remove leaves, bugs, and other debris from the pool’s edge.

Pool designers estimate that a vanishing edge will add 30 percent to the cost of any in-ground pool. And that’s for one disappearing edge. Some infinity pools are designed to allow water to overflow on more than one side of the perimeter, which adds to the cost.

The average cost of an infinity pool? $79,000, estimates Home Advisor, with an average range from $55,000 to $130,000.( The base cost per square foot is about $80.)

8. Are infinity pools safe?

Yes, infinity pools are safe. Remember, the disappearing edge is a visual trick, not an actual disappearing edge. If you swim up to the edge of the pool, you’ll reach a wall. (At the Marina Bay Sands hotel’s infinity pool 57 stories above street level in Singapore, “Contrary to what I thought prior to visiting, the pool does not just completely drop off into nothing as it appears to,” writes The Wander Blogger. “A few feet beneath the edge of the infinity pool is another platform, so were you to somehow flip over the edge of the pool, that’s where you’d land. But if you then fell off that second ledge, you’d be pretty well screwed, so security makes sure no monkey business goes on at the pool’s edge. Even lifting yourself up to look over the edge will get a whistle blown at you.”)

9. Do infinity pools require additional maintenance?

Above: Residents of this serene home by Deborah Berke Partners can choose between their infinity pool or the ocean when they’re ready to take a dip. For more from NYC-based Berke, see Architect Visit: Deborah Berke and Suzanne Shaker in Shelter Island.

Infinity pool technology is  more complicated than old-fashioned pool technology, so expect more maintenance requirements as well. The water catchment basin is an additional area to clean, for one thing. The filtration and water pump need to be monitored; if one gets clogged or the other breaks down, there will be no effective recirculation. And finally, as water flows over the edge of the pool and into a lower basin, it will evaporate faster than in a typical swimming pool.

Aggressive Wall Climbing

Quattro Sport boasts 4WD agility, enabling unmatched climbing to ensure superior cleaning from floor to waterline.
