Spa and wellness industry relies on Waterco’s premium commercial water filtration equipment
Wellness has become a major force in the global tourism market and destinations offering premium aquatic facilities are a large drawcard for travellers.
Research released last year from non-profit the Global Wellness Institute (GWI)1 revealed that the wellness economy reached a whopping $5.6 trillion in 2022. It also revealed that the $819.4 billion wellness trips taken (both internationally and domestically) that same year represented 7.8 per cent of all tourism trips — a significantly larger share of the market than the previous decade.
In the midst of this, London has become a health and fitness hotspot. This new tier of specialist clinics and curated spaces installing Waterco’s water filtration and sanitisation innovations provide best-in-class pool and spa experiences while significantly reducing energy and water consumption.

The preferred choice for swimming pool and spa builders around the world
Savvy operators like Third Space — one of London’s premium members-only health clubs — understand that worldclass wellness sanctuaries rely on water for their pool and spa treatments.
“Third Space is more than a gym — it’s a sanctuary for health enthusiasts, a hub for community engagement, and a haven for those seeking holistic wellness,” explains Waterco Europe CEO Tony Fisher. “With its sleek design, state-of-the-art facilities, and innovative approach to fitness, Third Space’s location in Wimbledon has quickly become a beacon for
individuals striving to elevate their wellbeing in both body and mind.”
Designed by Essex-based Aquascapes — recipients of multiple UK Pool and Spa Awards — Wimbledon’s state-of-theart aquatic facilities depend on the most reliable water filtration equipment in the market: Waterco.
“As a prestigious health club in the heart of Wimbledon, the equipment had to be of the highest quality, which is why Waterco was the preferred choice for Aquascapes,” he explains.
Guided by RIBA — the Royal Institute of British Architects’ definitive model for the design and construction process — Aquascapes worked from an empty shell in what was a former department store to a finished club.
“The project included the swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool, cold plunge pool, steam rooms, Loyly sauna, Finnish sauna, and luxury finishes, to name a few,” says Fisher.
Designed for recovery, the facility’s 6.3m3 Cold Plunge Pool allows members to complement their fitness routines with the benefits of cold water immersion
