Pool equipment is designed to keep your swimming pool clean and healthy, but it's not always the most attractive or quiet part of your backyard. Pumps, filters and chlorinators often sit exposed to the weather, creating unnecessary noise while disrupting the appearance of an otherwise beautiful outdoor area.
That's why more Australian homeowners are choosing Acoustic Box™ Pool Equipment Enclosures. These premium Australian-made enclosures are designed to reduce operating noise while protecting your valuable equipment from the harsh Australian climate. The result is a quieter, tidier and more organised pool equipment area that complements your outdoor living space instead of detracting from it.
Whether you're building a new pool or upgrading an existing one, an Acoustic Box can be a worthwhile investment that improves both the appearance and functionality of your pool equipment.
Why Is Pool Equipment So Noisy?
Many pool owners don't notice the sound of their pump until they're sitting outside trying to relax.
While modern variable speed pumps are generally quieter than older single-speed models, every filtration system still creates some level of operating noise. This can become more noticeable if the equipment is positioned close to entertaining areas, bedrooms or neighbouring properties.
Instead of allowing that noise to travel freely around your backyard, an Acoustic Box helps contain and reduce it while still allowing the equipment to operate correctly.
For many homeowners, it's one of those improvements they wish they had installed much sooner.
Choosing the Right Size
No two pool equipment installations are exactly the same. Some pools only require a pump and filter, while others include chlorinators, mineral systems, automation, dosing equipment or multiple pumps. That's why Acoustic Boxes are available in several sizes to suit different equipment layouts.
1100mm Wide
The 1100mm model is ideal for many standard residential pool systems, comfortably accommodating a typical pump and filter combination while still allowing easy servicing.
1350mm Wide
The 1350mm enclosure provides additional room for larger cartridge filters, chlorinators and more complex residential equipment installations.
1650mm Wide
The 1650mm model is designed for larger residential or light commercial equipment setups where additional space improves accessibility and allows room for future upgrades.
No matter which size you choose, measuring your equipment before ordering is always recommended to ensure a comfortable fit.
A Colour to Match Every Home
Your pool equipment enclosure shouldn't stand out for the wrong reasons.
Acoustic Boxes are available in a range of popular Colorbond® colours, making it easy to coordinate the enclosure with your fencing, home exterior or outdoor entertaining area.
Rather than looking like an industrial cabinet, the enclosure becomes a seamless part of your backyard design.
Whether your style is modern, coastal or traditional, there's a colour to complement your outdoor space.
Is an Acoustic Box Worth It?
If you've invested thousands of dollars in your swimming pool, it makes sense to protect the equipment that keeps it running.
An Acoustic Box helps reduce equipment noise, improves the appearance of your pool area and protects expensive equipment from the weather. It's one of those upgrades that delivers practical benefits every day while also improving the overall look of your backyard.
For many homeowners, it's not simply about reducing noise—it's about creating a more enjoyable outdoor space.
