amberco's canine hydrotherapy pool has been custom designed and built by Westcoast Products, who have over 12 year's experience in canine pools. The pool measures 10 feet in length, 8 feet in width and has a constant depth of 4 feet and 6 inches.

 

The pool is equipped with  2 anti-swim jets, which are adjustable for both flow rate and direction. Underwater lighting has also been fitted to assist in observing limb movement.

 

The water is heated to 27°C and kept clean by a high rate sand filter and surface mounted skimmers. Bacteria is taken care of by use of an Ozonator and a Salt Water Chlorinator. To ensure that the chemical and pH balance of the pool are maintained at the correct levels, tests are conducted several times a day using a photometer. These tests are backed up by computerised water analysis, which is conducted by Westcoast fortnighly.

 

Entry & exit are provided by gentle ramps and electrically powered hoist.
