Singleton Gym + Swim – Pool filtration upgrades + mechanical repairs

• Project value$643,816
• Contractor nameOptimal Aquatics

Singleton Gym + Swim is a premier aquatics and leisure centre consisting of a seasonal 50m outdoor swimming pool, an outdoor feature/toddler pool, an indoor heated 25m pool, a 12.5m indoor heated programs pool, a hydrotherapy pool sauna and spa.

In 2023 a mechanical audit was completed, identifying a variety of upgrades, repairs and replacements required onsite.

Additionally, the 25m pool water filtration system at the facility requires servicing and upgrades to meet current standards and improve efficiency. Due to budgeting constraints, this project was split between the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 financial years.

Upgrades completed in the 2023/2024 financial year (stage 1) included installation of an Atlas UFF PCT 250 filter, replacement of two recirculation pumps with VSDs, ultrasonic level sensing and replacement of the mechanical switchboard. 200mm PVC pipework has been installed for soiled water and filtered water return lines.

The next phase of this project is to install an additional two Atlas UFF PCT 250 filters (or equivalent) and remove the 25m pool gravity filter from service.

Current works

Optimal Aquatics will be completing upgrades on the spa and hydrotherapy pool in March 2025. During this time, the spa and hydro pool at the Gym + Swim will be unavailable.
