Enhancing Public Spaces with Form, Function and Waterco's Filtration

Enhancing Public Spaces with Form, Function and Waterco's Filtration.

In today's built environment, water features are more than decorative flourishes. Whether designed for reflection, interaction or ambient cooling, they increasingly serve a functional role in public and mixed-use spaces. But with that visibility comes a higher standard for water quality, hygiene and ongoing operational performance.

At White City Living in West London, the striking series of water features designed by Fountains Direct offers a strong example. Backed by Waterco's proven filtration systems, the installation delivers consistent water clarity, even under the demands of high foot traffic and changing environmental conditions.

"Public water features need more than just visual appeal," says Tom Roberts, Managing Director at Fountains Direct. "They need reliability, hygiene, and consistent performance. That's why we trust Waterco's systems across high-profile developments like White City Living."

The development includes three distinct plantrooms, each servicing unique installations, combining aesthetics with powerful hydraulic engineering. All are supported by Waterco's advanced water filtration and circulation solutions, designed for long-term performance and exceptional water hygiene.
