As there is no acceptable risk of mothers hitting their heads on protruding spouts we designed the Water Channel to safeguard them by making it impossible for them to come in contact.
If you look at the photo below you’ll see a distinctive “keyhole” shape channel set into the rim of the pool.
We designed the water channel to work in conjunction with wall mounted taps set well above the rim and short length spouts to prevent the risk of accident or injury.
The channel has opened up the back section of the pool so that mothers have complete freedom of movement around the pool.
Mothers can safely lean against the back of the pool and use recessed handgrips or the rounded rim for support.
When you look at other water birth pools one of the first things you notice is rim mounted metal work like taps. handgrips and controls.
These obstruct movement around pool and present manual handling and water safety risks.
The absence of rim mounted metalwork allows mothers and midwives to move freely around the pool without risk.
Bacteria propagate on and around rim mounted fittings which increases the risk of cross infection.
Our smooth, seamless rims are free of fittings which makes them easier to clean and significantly reduces hygiene and water safety risks.
The back of the pool has been redesigned with sharper curves and wider rims to provide midwives with greater comfort, support and all-round access.
Midwives can comfortably sit on a stool like the one in this photo and move freely around the pool to attuned the mother.
In short: this seemingly simple innovation has transformed our water birth pools. They’re safer and more user-friendly for both mothers and midwives.
