Precision-Engineered Water Treatment at Third Space Battersea, London
Trusted Aquatic Solutions
Luxury health and fitness facilities require advanced aquatic infrastructure to maintain clear, hygienic water across their amenities. Consistently delivering efficient, dependable operation under continuous commercial demand is equally critical.
For Aquascapes, an award-winning wet leisure consultancy firm located in Essex, England, partnering with the right water treatment specialist is just as important when designing premium projects for clients.
Built on long-term confidence
With more than 45 years’ engineering and manufacturing expertise, Waterco gives Aquascapes confidence in both product quality and ongoing system reliability.
From advanced dual-filtration technologies and energy-efficient pumps to sanitisation systems, Waterco solutions support the ongoing performance and operational demands of aquatic and wellness facilities long after project completion.
“Waterco’s market-leading equipment and technical expertise are what companies like Aquascapes rely on,” says Tony Fisher, Waterco Division CEO – North America and Europe. “Proven product durability and manufacturer warranties give operators even greater confidence in their investment.”
The rise of luxury wellness
The global wellness industry continues to expand rapidly, with luxury pools, spas and bathhouses emerging as key drivers of member attraction and retention. Across the sector, aquatic amenities supported by advanced water treatment are increasingly viewed as essential wellness infrastructure.
For investors and operators, these spaces require more than architectural appeal. Consistent system performance, sanitisation standards and operational stability are critical in high-use commercial facilities where expectations around reliability and user experience remain exceptionally high.
Seamless system design
Operating 17 bespoke health clubs across landmark destinations including Wimbledon, London fitness and lifestyle brand Third Space has built its reputation on delivering a world-class wellness experience.
For Aquascapes CEO and Design and Construction Director Sean Connelly, specifying Waterco’s proven filtration and pumping technologies helps support a seamless transition from system design and installation through to long-term operation. “It is essential that we install only premium-grade equipment, which is why Aquascapes continues to specify Waterco,” he says.
Third Space Battersea London
Like its sister clubs in Wimbledon and Richmond, Third Space Battersea relies on Waterco’s precision-engineered water treatment solutions to support its premium aquatic facilities.
The commercial installation incorporates Waterco’s MultiCyclone centrifugal pre-filtration technology, variable speed pumps and Side Mount Deep Bed (SMDD) media filters. Together, the configuration supports high water clarity, hydraulic performance and dependable day-to-day operation.

“Facilities of this calibre rely on proven filtration and pumping solutions to meet the expectations of premium clients,” he explains. “Waterco works seamlessly with Aquascapes to deliver pristine water quality in both aquatic environments.”
