In the space of a couple of years, the Bregenz pool facilities were optimised and the electricity supply service was transformed. In the course of the project, over 20 powerful and durable electric circulation pumps were replaced with modern speed-control pumps. Moreover the town invested in the renewal of the measurement and control technology in order to guarantee the best possible service. An investment that was worthwhile, since the beach pool, the indoor pool and the Vitalium wellness facility need in an average year roughly 1.1 million kWh of electricity and around 3 million kWh of heat.
