Fluidra presents a report on water to rise to the challenge of efficient, sustainable water management.

Fluidra, a global leader in pool and wellness equipment and connected solutions, has released the report “Water and Pools: Every Drop Counts” in collaboration with the Spanish Institute of Analysts and supported by external experts. The report explores the current state of water, highlighting the trends shaping the future of this precious resource and its various uses across industries, agriculture and municipal use.

In a context where water demand has quadrupled in the last 60 years, responsible management is critical. In response to this challenge, Fluidra emphasizes the need for joint action among all stakeholders – including industry, governments, and citizens – to improve water management through innovative practices and technologies that ensure responsible and sustainable use.

A Key Player in Water Management

Although swimming pools account for only between 0.75% and 1% of total municipal water consumption, Fluidra, as a leader in the pool industry, positions itself as a key player in the global discussion on water management. Fluidra already offers solutions to minimize the environmental impact of pools through the implementation of advanced technologies and sustainable practices in pool design and maintenance, such as improving water recirculation efficiency and reducing water losses from evaporation, splashing, and filter cleaning.

The report presents comprehensive solutions for sustainable water management and use, targeting various sectors and levels of action. Key measures include water-saving and efficiency technologies, such as precision irrigation in agriculture, water recirculation in industries, and green infrastructure. It also promotes the reuse and treatment of wastewater, the use of desalination technologies to increase water availability in water-scarce areas, real-time digital monitoring, and policies such as progressive pricing and ecosystem protection.

The Impact of Pools on People’s Well-Being

The study also describes the social benefits of swimming pools, which facilitate interaction among different socio-economic groups and ages, fostering inclusion and diversity, as well as having a positive impact on people’s health.

“Water management is a challenge of immense importance given climate change, the needs of industry and households, the success of the tourism sector, and territorial imbalances between supply and demand. We thank Fluidra for publishing such an informative study,” said Enric Fernández, Vice President of the Spanish Institute of Analysts.

“Water is a finite resource, and our relationship with it must be one of respect and responsibility. This report reminds us of the importance of managing water sustainably, using it wisely, and finding innovative solutions to reduce the environmental impact of pools while maximizing their social benefits,” said Eloi Planes, Executive Chairman of Fluidra.
