How Much Does an Aqua Treadmill Cost in the UK?

ECB quotes every UK aqua treadmill individually rather than publishing a list price. The cost depends on whether the treadmill is built in or floor-mounted, the water options you choose and the work needed on your site, and every quote is written for your yard so you can compare like with like.

What is included in a UK installation?

  • The treadmill, touchscreen controls and filtration system
  • Delivery, installation and commissioning by the ECB team
  • Training for your staff on depth, speed, incline and water care

Groundworks and plumbing

A built-in treadmill sits in a concrete pit, so it needs excavation. Pit size varies by site, and ECB provides full pit specifications before any digging starts. A floor-mounted model needs no excavation but more floor space (about 6.93 m by 2.61 m) and a ramp. Both need single or three-phase power, a mains water supply and drainage.

Running costs

The treadmill holds around 6,000 litres that are filtered and reused for over six weeks, instead of being changed daily or weekly. The main running costs are electricity for the drive and pumps (plus the chiller if you run cold water), filtration chemicals and routine servicing.

Our aqua treadmill cost guide explains each cost driver. When you are ready, request UK pricing and tell us your space, power supply and how many horses a day you plan to treat.

Delivery, Installation and Servicing from Bourton

ECB's UK and rest-of-world office is at Bourton Hill Farm, Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire. UK and Irish customers deal with the same local team from the first site visit to support after installation.

  • Site visit and layout: we check your building, access, power and drainage, and advise on a built-in or floor-mounted model.
  • Delivery and installation: the lead time and installation date are confirmed on your quote.
  • Commissioning and training: your staff learn to set depth, speed and incline and to run the filtration.
  • Ongoing support: our UK team stays on hand after handover for servicing and water-care advice.

Call the UK office on +44 (0)1451 822969 or send an enquiry.

Fresh, Salt or Chilled Water?

You can run an ECB aqua treadmill on fresh or salt water, and an optional refrigeration package chills the water for cold-water sessions. Your vet and rehab programme decide which suits your horses.

Water depth adjusts up to 104 cm, and around 6,000 litres are filtered and reused for over six weeks. See the full equine aqua treadmill specifications for sizes, speeds and incline.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aqua Treadmills in the UK

How much does an aqua treadmill cost in the UK?

Icona Chiudi

ECB quotes each UK aqua treadmill individually rather than publishing a list price. The cost depends on whether the treadmill is built in or floor-mounted, the water options you choose and the work needed on site, so request a UK quote for your yard.

Do you cover the whole of the UK and Ireland?

Icona Chiudi

Yes. ECB Equine supplies, installs and services aqua treadmills across the UK and Ireland from our office in Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire.

How long does installation take?

Icona Chiudi

Lead time is confirmed on your quote. On most projects the site work sets the timeline: a built-in treadmill needs its pit, slab, drainage and power ready before delivery, while a floor-mounted model needs a level floor rated for the load.

What is included in a UK installation?

Icona Chiudi

Every installation includes delivery, installation and commissioning by the ECB team, plus training for your staff on depth, speed, incline and water care.

Do I need planning permission or groundworks?

Icona Chiudi

A built-in treadmill needs a pit dug and concreted, while a floor-mounted model needs no excavation. Whether you need planning permission depends on your building and local authority, so check with your planning office before work starts.
