Behind the Duratech brand stands Propulsion Systems BV, a Belgian family-owned company and manufacturer of innovative solutions for the swimming pool industry.
All Duratech products are developed by the company’s own R&D department in Belgium and produced at its own facilities in Belgium and China. This gives Duratech full control over quality, innovation and product continuity.
What sets Duratech apart is a simple philosophy: innovation must solve a real problem. Not technology for technology’s sake, but solutions that help pool builders install faster, reduce maintenance, save energy and water, and make everyday use easier for pool owners.
Today, Duratech offers a broad range of solutions for the pool market, including:
- DURAVISION pool lighting
- DURAHEAT heat pumps
- DURAFLOW filtration systems
- DURACOVER pool covers
- LINK Master pool automation
Although these product groups differ widely, they share the same development philosophy: easier installation, more efficient maintenance, and more sustainable, more comfortable use.
Here are a few examples of how Duratech is turning this vision into concrete innovations today:
Flush finish for DURAVISION LED lighting
The challenge
Modern pools call for a clean, minimalist finish. Yet traditional pool lights often remain clearly visible in the pool wall.
Our solution
With the DURAVISION Face Plate Ultra Flat finish, Duratech lets pool lighting blend even more seamlessly into the pool design. With a visible thickness of just 2 to 3 mm, the trim ring sits almost flush with the pool wall.
The result
A lighting solution that becomes virtually invisible when switched off, yet brings the pool fully to life the moment the lights come on.
How to stand out in a crowded heat pump market
The challenge
Heat pumps are now an established technology. For pool builders, it is no longer only about efficiency, but also about ease of installation, reliability and user-friendliness.
Our solution
With DURA-Hi, Duratech has rethought the traditional heat pump concept. Thanks to its patented airflow design, the unit can be placed directly against a wall. No separate concrete base is required, making installation faster, simpler and more cost-effective.
Duratech also took a different approach to ease of use. The conventional display – often a vulnerable component and a potential source of service calls – has been replaced by an intuitive smartphone app. This makes operation, monitoring and support easier for both installer and end user.
The result
DURA-Hi: an efficient full-inverter heat pump that brings simplicity to installation, operation and maintenance without compromising on performance. With a COP of up to 26, DURA-Hi combines energy efficiency with a unique installation and user experience.
Water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource
The challenge
As a result of climate change, more and more regions are facing longer periods of drought and stricter restrictions on water use. In the pool industry, too, there is growing demand for solutions that save water without compromising on convenience or water quality.
Our solution
With DURAFLOW Vortex, Duratech introduces an innovative cyclone filter installed upstream of the sand or cartridge filter. By separating a large share of the dirt in this first filtration stage, it significantly reduces the load on the main filter.
As a result, fewer cleanings and backwashes are needed, leading to lower water consumption and less maintenance.
The result
A more sustainable, user-friendly filtration system that helps save water, reduce maintenance and extend the lifespan of the main filter.
Pool covers: made to measure, without the wait
The challenge
Automatic pool covers are often fully custom-made. This means pool builders have to wait for delivery before installation can begin, which can delay project completion.
Our solution
With DURACOVER, Duratech has developed a unique telescopic roller system for automatic pool covers that can be cut to size directly on site. There is no longer any need to order a specific length for each individual cover.
The system is also supplied in such a way that the entire installation can be carried out by a single person, saving time during assembly.
The result
More flexibility for the pool builder, less dependence on delivery times and faster project completion.
More automation – but also more complexity
The challenge
Demand for pool automation continues to grow. Lighting, heat pumps, filtration, water treatment and other equipment are increasingly interconnected. At the same time, pool builders are finding it ever harder to recruit enough technically trained staff to install and maintain these complex systems.
Our solution
With LINK Master, Duratech has made automation simpler. Thanks to its unique concept, each DURATECH device needs just one cable for both power and communication, which greatly simplifies wiring and saves installation time.
Beyond the Duratech ecosystem, devices from other brands can also be integrated, so pool builders keep maximum flexibility.
For the end user, everything is brought together in a single central app that makes it easy to manage the entire pool installation.
The result
Faster installation for the pool builder and simpler operation for the pool owner.
