Elliptical Baths

Luna Model Birth Bath Venus Model Birth Pool

Currently, we have three models of elliptical bath - the Ellipse, the Luna and the Venus. With their pleasing curves these spacious pool provide a calm and roomy environment for a labouring woman. (A new elliptical bath is being designed too!)

The one-piece construction common to most Aquabirths pools makes them an easy bath to keep clean and hygienic. This design also makes it very straight-forward to install. (N.B. The Luna and Venus are shown above without their integrated sides and on display stands so that you can see the shape of the bath within. The Luna can be supplied with the rim as shown or with a rounded rim that follows the curve of the bath.)

Features:
Redesigned rim for better infection control
underwater LED lights (in a choice of positions);
choice of positions for waste;
robust quarter-turn ball-valve waste;
choice of bath colours;
clip-on outer steps;
in-built inner step/seat;
hatchways for easier maintenance.
All Aquabirths baths are installed with a trap for a better level of hygiene and odour control: leaving the valve closed is not enough.

Dimensions 185cm long, 135cm wide and 79cm high (64cm internal).

Maternity Size Baths.

We also make an intermediate size of bath - smaller than birth pool and larger than domestic size. This is designed for bathing during labour and post-partum (LAPP) and where space does not allow a birth pool.

All baths can be supplied with antibacterial gel coat finish for added cleanliness and peace of mind.

All baths give the maximum amount of space for the labouring woman so that she is free to move and keep mobile during labour. The depth, the sloping sides and broad flat rim are all designed to allow a woman to comfortably adopt a number of postures during labour. The free-standing bath allows easy access for midwives and attendants.

We offer baths as ‘all-in-one’ construction with integrated side panels for ease of cleaning and installation. We also offer an installation service.

Installation

With the exception of the budget version of the Cool Modern, we offer an installation service. We use 'in-line' traps to enable quick and thorough emptying and to provide additional protection against smells and infections. We use quarter-turn ball valves for long service on the Ellipse and offer it for the Derby. The Cool Modern / Dunoon uses plug and chain wastes.

All our pools are made in the UK. We can provide and install a pool for less than the cost the bath alone from other companies.
