Silence is Golden: Exploring ‘The Acoustic Box’ Soundproof Pump & Filter Cover

Silence is Golden: Exploring ‘The Acoustic Box’ Soundproof Pump & Filter Cover

There’s nothing like swimming in a well-heated pool in the middle of winter! Imagine basking in the warmth of the water--- in juxtaposition to the weather outside---, lazily flipping through the pages of a well-loved comfort read, or simply sitting there and contemplating your place in the universe, as one does. Imagine sitting there in your own little space, your very own tropical oasis in the middle of winter, as you dream your dreams, and philosophise on the motivations of Man, and whatnot---- until your contemplations are rudely interrupted by the roaring of your pool pump or filter in the background.

And just like that, a Great Train Of Thought™ has been lost to the void, and your dreams and schemes with potential have ground to an abrupt halt… and your neighbours are angry with you again, for all the noise pollution your pool pump/filter is causing. The tranquillity and the silence of the neighbourhood have been broken, as has your moment of bliss in guiltlessly and lazily basking in a well-heated pool.

You sigh. Why must it be a choice between a heated pool and peaceful quietude? Why must a heated pool cost you your friendly relationship with your neighbours, as well as your peace? Why can’t you have it all?

Well, you can.

All you need to do is invest in an Acoustic Box Pump and Filter Enclosure/Cover! You don’t have to spend long hours assembling DIY contraptions that often don’t even work--- with an Acoustic Box, all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the silence, and the peace that comes with a greatly improved relationship with your neighbours! And with an Acoustic Box silencing the interruptions of your pool pump or your filter, you get to think your deep thoughts in peace--- and maybe that’s how the Acoustic Box can contribute to the making of the next Aristotle!

What exactly is an Acoustic Box?

An Acoustic Box is a soundproof box that has been specifically designed to enclose and reduce the noise caused by pool machinery, especially pool filters, pumps, and compressors, all of which tend to be a bit on the noisy side.

These thick galvanized steel enclosures are powder coated and fitted with acoustic grade foam to reduce noise by up to 80-90%--- and that’s not something we’re just saying, it’s been tried and tested until we got to an efficiency rate as high as that!

The boxes come in multiple sizes and ten different colours, which can also be customised on request, so you get to personalise your whole pool set-up in a way that reflects you and your unique aesthetic!

What are the benefits of an Acoustic Box?

Reduce Noise Pollution!

This one is, of course, the most obvious benefit of an acoustic box, as well as its primary objective. The noise reduction of up to 80% has been certified by an Acoustic Engineer’s report, so rest assured that this is something that does exactly what it claims to be able to do--- the 29/400-grade foam on every panel makes sure of it! After all, 'Silence is Golden'!

Easy to Assemble!

If you’ve been trying out DIY contraptions to reduce the noise from your pool machinery, we can imagine it’s been exhausting figuring out all the what goes where’s--- only for the makeshift acoustic box to do a subpar job at a sound reduction, if at all!

Well, with an actual acoustic sound box-- like this one, for instance---, you won’t have to deal with any difficulty while assembling the whole thing.

It’ll only take you 15-30 minutes to get the whole thing up and running, and the entire process will not require any nuts, bolts, screws or special tools! There are just three different parts that simply click together in just a few minutes—think of it as just three Lego blocks, it’s as easy as that!

If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t consider themselves very good at building stuff, don’t worry--- this easy Lego set even comes with a whole set of illustrated assembly instructions! That, and a YouTube clip for good measure, means anyone with zero building experience can set up the whole model.

Save $$$!

The reduced noise reduction means you can use your pump during off-peak hours, saving you money on energy bills.

Investing in an Acoustic Box will also save you money on equipment--- inferior and cheaper alternatives will cost you more money in the long run, as they may be poorly ventilated, and damage your equipment.

You also get to save money on design--- a custom-designed box made from timber or other material will cost you quite a bit, and it won’t look as pretty, either!

Unique Design and Fabrication

The acoustic box has been designed such that it offers more internal space for easier access; there are no bars across the middle, and you’ve also got a fully removable front door!

The slim models like this one cater for more confined spaces, 

 whilst the backless models—like this one-- cater for situations when you have less than 50mm from the equipment to the wall / fence.

Made of Australian galvanised steel with a thick powder-coat finish, the Acoustic Box provides enhanced sturdiness while also being lighter than other models on the market. The galvanisation means the box is designed not to rust for 15+ years!

It is anti-corrosion, complete with thick acoustic foam and denser than other products on the market, and it has been built to withstand the harshest weather conditions.

The cherry on top of it all is the security measures that have been inbuilt into the Acoustic Box to ensure that users are safe at all times. The Acoustic Box comes with Child Safety Features that make it virtually impossible for children to access the box, so you won’t be in your pool constantly worrying about if your child is getting up to any mischief with the pretty, new box by the poolside! The box can also be locked using any common lock, so that’s an added security measure!

An Acoustic Box comes with so many perks to it, so the question isn’t really if you’re investing in one, the question is which one you’d like to invest in! You can sit in the warm water of your pool, with a lovely quiet all around you, able to form and follow uninterrupted trains of thought, while also allowing your neighbours their well-deserved peace and quiet.

All is well in the neighbourhood, and you get to bask in bliss. It really is a win-win!
