We combine ergonomic design, superior materials and bespoke
manufacturing to produce water birth pools that are the benchmark standard.

Established in 1987 – our new water birth pools are a quantum leap forward.

They are optimised for performance, built to last for decades and guaranteed for life.

Not only are they gloriously spacious & inviting, they are made to the highest specifications & considerations to maximise safety.

I have had the pleasure of working with Keith Brainin since 1985. His expertise in birth pools is unparalleled. He is professional to work with and the high standard of the birth pools has resulted in them withstanding the test of time and many births.

– Yedudi Gordon, Author and Consultant Gynaecologist

Over the past 32 years we’ve supplied thousands of water birth pools to hospitals worldwide.

This has given us a unique understanding of the needs of mothers, midwives and hospitals.

We’ve achieved success by keeping things simple and focusing on
our core principles of Safety, Value and Performance.
