The MAX5 and the deepest pool in the world
Not only Olympic swimming pools. The EMEC control instrument MAX5 has also been chosen to control a really unique swimming pool.
Y-40 pool, first opened in 2014 in Montegrotto Terme (PD), is indeed the deepest in the world with a depth of 42.15 metres, breaking so the record previously held by Nemo 33 in Brussels, “just” 34.5 metres deep. The pool contains 4,300 m3 (1,136,000 US gal) of thermal water kept at a temperature of 34 °C (93 °F). The pool features underwater caves and a suspended, transparent, underwater tunnel for guests to walk through. It includes platforms at various depths, ranging from 1.3 metres (4.3 ft) to 12 metres (39 ft), before the walls of the pool narrow into a well-like funnel which plunges straight down to 42.15 metres.
