The 26 STS requirement is for one each of the Polar and Thermal Plunge Pools, 7’6"x7’6" in dimension, manufactured by HydroWorx. The specifications of these pools were provided in an RFP (W912PP17R0006) issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for a new building construction project on Cannon AFB, that the 26 STS now occupies. The Basis of Design for the therapy pool room of the building were specific to the HydroWorx plunge pool products. Specific electrical breakers, piping and drainage were required and the HVAC system was designed to accommodate the heat load put off by the specific HydroWorx Plunge Pools and their equipment, as such no other manufacturer’s equipment can be accommodated. The resultant contract of the USACE RFP is W912PP19C0001.
