When Should Maintenance Be Performed on a Yacht’s Movable Pool Floor?

Movable pool floors installed on yachts are complex systems that integrate mechanical, hydraulic, electronic, and safety components. To ensure consistent performance over time and to prevent blockages or malfunctions, it is essential to carry out scheduled periodic inspections, especially in the marine environment, where vibrations, saltwater, and humidity accelerate component wear.

Centro Italia Yachting recommends a structured maintenance plan, differentiated by frequency and type of intervention.

 

Recommended maintenance every 6–12 months

Routine maintenance is essential to ensure that the yacht pool movable floor operates smoothly, safely, and in compliance with design specifications. These interventions make it possible to identify potential anomalies at an early stage and prevent more complex issues related to wear or harsh marine conditions. Periodic maintenance typically includes the following activities:

  • Inspection of sensors and PLC
  • Complete ascent and descent tests of the movable floor
  • Verification of valves and hydraulic system pressure
  • Lubrication of guides and sliders
  • Cleaning of hydraulic filters
  • Inspection of components most exposed to corrosion

 

Recommended maintenance every 24–36 months

Extraordinary maintenance interventions are designed to preserve long-term system reliability and maintain high performance of the movable floor even after years of operation in a marine environment. These operations allow for more in-depth work on critical components, reducing the risk of structural or hydraulic failures. Scheduled activities include:

  • Overhaul of actuators
  • Replacement of hydraulic oil and filters
  • In-depth inspection of the electrical panel
  • Backup and verification of PLC parameters

A regular maintenance program significantly reduces the risk of unexpected downtime and extends the service life of the movable floor, ensuring safety and continuity of use on board.
