Why Active Birth Pools Are the Long-Term Choice for Hospitals
When it comes to investing in hospital equipment, especially in high-use environments like maternity units, durability isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. At Active Birth Pools, we understand the pressure healthcare environments face to balance safety, sustainability, and value. That’s why our water birth pools are quite literally built to last for decades — and guaranteed for life.
Designed for Strength, Engineered for Life
The secret behind the lasting power of our birth pools lies in the material we use: Ficore® composite — a specialised, proprietary material developed to deliver outstanding strength, resilience, and safety.
Unlike acrylic or fibreglass alternatives, Ficore® is far more robust and highly resistant to wear and damage. It’s designed to cope effortlessly with the intensive daily use of modern maternity units, remaining stable, smooth, and secure even after years of continuous service.
Seamless One-Piece Construction
Every Active Birth Pool is manufactured as a single, seamless piece. Why does this matter?
- It eliminates joints and seams where bacteria can accumulate
- It ensures superior structural integrity and hygiene
- It reduces the risk of cracking or failure over time
- It simplifies cleaning and maintenance, supporting infection control protocols
This seamless design also supports a better birthing experience by providing smooth, ergonomic curves that are gentle to the touch and incredibly comfortable for mothers and midwifes.
Guaranteed for Life — With Confidence
We believe so strongly in the quality of our pools that we back them with a lifetime guarantee.
This isn’t just a marketing line. It’s a statement of confidence in our engineering and a promise of support to our clients. When hospitals choose Active Birth Pools, they aren’t just buying a product — they’re investing in a lasting partnership.
Sustainability and Cost-Efficiency in One
Longevity = sustainability.
By designing birth pools that last for decades without the need for repair or replacement, we significantly reduce material waste, transport costs, and energy consumption. Hospitals that prioritise eco-friendly procurement will find Active Birth Pools an excellent fit for their sustainability goals.
And with minimal maintenance costs, a low total cost of ownership, and no need for periodic refurbishment, our pools offer exceptional long-term value.
