Enjoying your pool is not only about the experience of bathing and swimming but of relaxing in an outdoor oasis. Pool pumps, filters and pool equipment can detract from the serenity of your poolside. Austral’s Eco box is an ideal solution to transform your pool area.

A backyard pool is a retreat of tranquillity and leisure, providing a sanctuary for relaxation and enjoyment. However, the visual appeal of this oasis can be marred by the clunky presence of pool equipment. Here, Austral Pool & Spa Products national sales manager Andrew Parkinson shares Eco Box, a revolutionary enclosure designed to conceal and enhance your pool space. 

Sleek modern design & reduced noise

The Eco Box boasts a sleek and modern design, hiding pool equipment in an efficient and tidy manner. Its clean lines and neutral matte black colour palette make it an ideal fit for any poolside setting, seamlessly blending with the natural beauty of your outdoor space. And It’s designed for local weather conditions, too, says Parkinson. 

"The Eco Box has a sleek, modular design that compliments your poolside and keeps your machinery protected and out of sight.  It is built for the outside conditions so protects your pool equipment from the harsh weather elements we experience here in New Zealand." 

The panels on the Eco Box has been galvanised twice which makes for a heavier, sturdier enclosure that is ready to take on our harsh weather conditions.  The stainless threaded inserts are a new addition and compliment the gas strut lid to make access to the pump and filter equipment more accessible. 

But it is not only easy to access, robust and attractive, it also has a practical application that can improve your experience of your pool space.   

Certified by an acoustic engineer's report, it actively contributes to the serene ambience of your pool area, allowing you to enjoy the soothing sounds of nature and the gentle lapping of water without the disruptive hum of pool machinery. 


Dimensions & expandability: tailored to your pool's needs

With dimensions of 1055mm width/front x 1100mm depth x 1180mm height, the Eco Box offers a perfect balance of form and function. Its dimensions ensure a snug fit for standard filter, pump and sanitation equipment.

For those with additional equipment or larger filter boxes, Austral offers the option to expand with up to two additional Eco Box extension modules.

“It can be extended by up to 2.1 metres which then gives the pool owner the option of storing their pool chemicals in the same unit by using an extension and having the ability to lock the unit up." 

This flexibility ensures that the Eco Box is not just a one-size-fits-all solution but is a tailored and versatile enclosure that adapts to the unique needs of your pool area.


Installation & security

Another added benefit to the Eco Box is the ease of installation. 

“It’s an easy-to-assemble DIY installation and it comes with instructions that are very simple to follow,” says Parkinson. 

And while the primary function of the Eco Box is to beautify and compliment your poolside by keeping filtration equipment out of sight, Parkinson says it also offers a security aspect.

“The Eco Box is designed to be lockable, providing a safe and secure space for storing pool equipment.”

This dual-purpose functionality enhances the practicality of the Eco Box, making it an indispensable element in maintaining both the aesthetic and safety aspects of your pool area.

Transform your pool area into a haven of serenity and style,  where the beauty of nature meets the excellence of modern engineering, guided by Austral's commitment to efficiency, aesthetics, and the ultimate poolside experience.
