No... not in colour, they have made their hydrotherapy pool more energy efficient and reduced water wastage.
The £25,000 project carried out by the Wendover-based charity, funded partly by a grant from the Clothworkers’ Foundation, involved several upgrades including the installation of a chemical dosing system, variable speed drive, digital flow meter and UV filter.
It is anticipated that the variable speed drive alone will lead to savings of £15,000 per year as the pumps can be slowed down, or stropped altogether, during period of low usage.
Having more efficient ways of maintaining the water quality means less time needs to be spent on cleaning processes and more time is available for people to benefit from using the pool.
“The hydro pool is a lifeline for people coming to the MS Centre,” said Karen Butler-Caddle, user of the hydrotherapy service at the Chilterns MS Centre. “It’s so helpful for physiotherapy and it helps with the pain. It also gives you extra ability to stand which I wouldn’t be able to do normally on dry land.”
The Chilterns MS Centre provides treatments and services to people with MS, helping them to live life to the full.
If anyone with MS, Parkinson’s or who has experienced a stroke feels they would benefit from the services offered then they can get in touch with the Chilterns MS Centre by phoning 01296 696133.
