WaterVision deepens saving measures even further at Het Ravijn in Nijverdal

The municipality of Hellendoorn is very consciously concerned with the environment and savings and has taken all kinds of measures in this regard. WaterVision supports this by replacing 22 old LED underwater lamps in the swimming pool at Het Ravijn -Zwem Sport Zorg- with only 8 units from WaterVision.

Fewer lamps, excellent light

The first supplier selection was based on price and in the end WaterVision remained the right choice. As a result, WaterVision recently replaced the underwater lighting of the competition pool of the Ravijn –Zwem Sport Zorg-. In the competition pool, with a length of 33 meters and a width of 21 meters, 22 LED underwater floodlights have been replaced by only 8 WaterVision LED lamps from the WV15 series. With almost one third of the number of lamps, the entire competition pool is now lit.

“I am amazed at the result. I never thought that we could illuminate the entire bath with just 8 lamps, but WaterVision convinced us.”

Environmental sustainability

Het Ravijn – Zwem Sport Zorg – was realized with an eye for the environment and takes approximately the maximum amount of energy-saving measures. The building has a national Energy Label A and is conscious of the environment and focuses on sustainability. WaterVision is helping the municipality of Hellendoorn to further improve its energy performance by installing 63% fewer lamps. “We are doing about the maximum to save energy and costs and have taken all possible measures. This solution from Watervision still offered us an extra opportunity,” said Mr. Freriksen.

The (Nano)Power of WaterVision

The WV15 NanoPower® 80 watt underwater floodlights used are placed opposite each other in the pool wall. Four lights on one side and four lights on the other side of the sports pool (33m x 21m). “It is striking that the NanoPower floodlights illuminate the other side of the swimming pool and not on the side where the lamp is mounted. If you look past the lamp, it seems as if it is not switched on. The center of the bath, where the light overlaps, is therefore very well lit. This is special to see,” says Freriksen. NanoPower® works best over longer distances (>7 meters), when the light has to travel further through the water. The Mediterranean Blue light color ensures the best performance in this specific pool.

Het Ravijn -Swim Sports Care- in Nijverdal

The Ravijn – Swimming Sports Care – is located in Nijverdal, the largest core of Hellendoorn, the Sports Municipality of the year 2016. This – swimming sports care – institution is full of sports and exercise activities on a daily basis and has an important social function. The accommodation consists of indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a sports hall, catering facilities and various areas used by healthcare institutions. The range of activities in the three indoor pools is endless, including: competitive swimming, water polo (both men and women in the premier league), swimming lessons, aquaspinning, lap swimming and much more. Partly thanks to a partially movable bottom and pontoon, the pool can be flexibly arranged and tailored to the various activities and target groups.
