Wellness investment proposition
PoolDesign Thermal Cycle Experience
Complete thermal exchange experience in a single chamber
The PoolDesign Thermal Cycle Experience is a modern wellness proposition for hotels, resorts and wellness centers looking for substantial differentiation. It brings together a complete thermal exchange cycle in a single space, offering an organized user experience, efficient use of space and clear functional and commercial value.
Discuss spatial integration, functional logic and the possibility of leveraging the solution in your own project.
Business placement
A unified experience with a stronger investment footprint
Unlike classic thermal switching arrangements, where the visitor moves between different spaces, the system organizes a guided and continuous experience within a single chamber. This allows for more stable control over temperature, operating conditions and overall experience.
For management and the investor, the result is an experience with a distinct identity, higher efficiency per square meter and more meaningful integration into the overall hospitality or restoration product.

Executive summary
Functional excellence
Less clutter, more powerful experience
Traditional thermal cycling solutions typically rely on sauna, hammam and cold bath in separate spaces, which increases complexity and breaks up the flow of the experience. The PoolDesign Thermal Cycle Experience condenses the cycle into a single installation with more rational use of space and more stable operation control.
The unified architecture reduces friction for the user, enhances product clarity for the market, and helps a unit deliver a more recognizable experience with a stronger brand identity.
Because it excels over scattered thermal arrangements
Thermal cycle logic
Four phases with controlled thermal sequence
The system is based on a programmed four-phase cycle so that the experience remains readable, controllable and stable in everyday operation.
The cycle consists of three consecutive thermal cycling phases and is repeated 4–6 times before the recovery phase.
Thermal contrast
Controlled thermal contrast
The alternation of temperatures organizes a clearly structured experience of thermal contrast, with a smooth transition between warm and cold phases. This logic reinforces the coherence of the cycle and helps the unit deliver an experience with consistent functional behavior and a clear identity of use.
Comfort, acceptance and accessibility
Design that enhances comfort, acceptance and accessible use
The architecture of the chamber allows the body to be exposed to the steam up to the shoulders, while the head remains outside. This ensures comfortable breathing with fresh air, greater staying comfort and a friendlier experience for a wider range of users.
For hospitality units and wellness centers, this design choice is associated with wider acceptance by an international audience, a friendlier sense of use and a provision for a more accessible experience, without losing the premium character of the facility.
Operating programs
Three operating programs of the chamber
The availability of different programs helps the unit to organize the use more flexibly, depending on the audience, the session duration and the functional model of the space.
Full program
Complete PoolDesign Thermal Cycle Experience program for a complete thermal cycling experience.
Hot steam program
Mode that focuses on the hot phase for short or targeted use.
Cold phase program
Cold steam function for supplemental use or special thermal contrast protocol.
Duration and flow
Clear timing for predictable operation
Duration of phases
About 6.5 minutes per phase cycle.
Cycle repetitions
4 to 6 times, depending on the selected operating program.
Relaxation time
10 minutes to complete the experience smoothly.
Overall experience
40 to 50 minutes.
Functional safety
Consistent environment with high hygiene and predictability
Controlled inhalation air renewal, uniform temperature distribution and humidity stabilization help ensure the experience remains consistent in daily operation. At the same time, water and steam are sterilized by UV radiation, supporting increased hygiene.
For the operator, this means better condition control, less variance in user experience, and safer integration of the system into a wellness center environment.

Energy efficiency
Lower consumption compared to classic thermal installations
The lower energy requirement supports more efficient operation and more controllable operating costs compared to classic thermal installations, especially when the goal is to provide a premium experience with a more rational use of resources.

Target market
Designed for demanding hospitality, wellness and rehabilitation projects
The system is aimed at projects where the wellness experience must be combined with a clear functional structure, commercial exploitation and clear differentiation in the market.
- 4★ and 5★ hotels
- Luxury resorts
- Destination wellness centers
- Wellness and rehabilitation centers
Installation logic
Spatial organization with multiple units and clear user flow
The proposed arrangement can be organized with 1 QuadBalance unit and 1 SoloFlow unit to increase the total service capacity within the same space. This composition allows for cleaner user flow, better session organization and more efficient use of the available footprint.
In a space of around 45–60 m², the system can be integrated consistently into a wellness environment, support different levels of use and act as a realistic installable solution for hospitality, wellness and rehabilitation projects.
Functional layout of space
System models
Sizing options depending on capacity
The final choice of model is formed after a project study, according to the capacity, spatial integration and installation plan.
SoloFlow
Use for 1–2 people.
QuadBalance
Use for 4 people.
HexaBalance
Use for 6 people.
The commercial proposal is formulated after study and the final composition depends on the requirements of the project.
Revenue model
Three revenue scenarios for highly commercialized experience
The premium identity of the experience, the clean structure of use and the possibility of its integration into an organized wellness product create substantial prospects for commercial exploitation in hotels, resorts and wellness centers. The following scenarios are indicative and based on operating assumptions that vary according to the market, the location of the unit, the pricing policy and the degree of utilization.
Scenario A – Conservative
20 people / day
€60 per use
200 days of operation
Annual income: €240,000
Scenario B – Typical 5★ hotel
35 people / day
€70 per use
250 days of operation
Annual income: €612,500
Scenario C – Luxury resort
50 people / day
€85 per use
280 days of operation
Annual revenue: €1,190,000
Payback time
Clear financial perspective with different operating scenarios
The estimated net margin can be between 30% and 50%, depending on the operating model, location of the unit, pricing strategy and utilization rate. Payback time varies substantially from project to project and is affected by actual commercial and operational conditions.
The relevant scenarios should be treated as indicative projections of business dynamics and not as a binding performance forecast. The final financial evaluation can only be obtained through a specific project study.
