Temporary Water Infrastructure

Our containerised modular and built-for-purpose temporary water infrastructure is designed specifically for the demanding and dynamic needs of film, television, and live events. Whether it’s underwater tanks, modular pools, or large-scale water effects, our systems are engineered for rapid deployment, easy integration, and reliable performance on set. Every installation is tailored to suit the creative vision and practical constraints of your production.

Safety, efficiency, and flexibility are at the core of what we deliver. Our infrastructure is compliant with industry standards and built to withstand the rigours of production environments, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum impact. With Show Water, you get more than just equipment—you get a complete, end-to-end solution backed by expert support from concept to pack-down.

Also available for commercial swimming pool sites undergoing renovations. Keep your facility open to paying customers or for events when ordinarily you may have had to shut down. Based in 20ft shipping containers, these portable filtration plant rooms can safely manage up to 3 million litres of water depending on the use case.

Temperature Control

Our water heating systems are purpose-built to deliver fast, consistent temperature control for film pools, underwater tanks, and on-set water features. Whether you’re filming in cold conditions or need precise heat levels for cast comfort and special effects, we provide reliable, high-capacity solutions that integrate seamlessly with your setup.

From compact mobile units to large-scale heating systems, we tailor each installation to meet the specific demands of your production. Our team ensures every system is safe, efficient, and ready to perform under tight shooting schedules—keeping your water scenes comfortable and on track.

Filtration plant rooms

Our filtration plant rooms are crucial for maintaining crystal-clear water in film pools and underwater tanks. Using high-capacity filters and automated chemical dosing, they remove contaminants and ensure safe, sanitized water that meets Australian pool standards. This keeps water quality high and supports tight production schedules, all while protecting the health of cast and crew.

Designed for flexibility, our filtration systems are portable and modular, allowing for quick setup and easy adaptation to different production sizes. Whether it’s a small tank or a large film pool, our systems are tailored to fit, and can be scaled up as needed. With seamless integration into your temporary water infrastructure, they provide an efficient, reliable solution for any filming location.

Water Effects and Water Cannons

At Show Water, we specialize in designing and delivering high-impact water infrastructure and effects for film and television productions. Whether it’s a raging storm, a tranquil lake, or a custom-built water set for controlled sequences, our team combines engineering precision with cinematic artistry to bring water to life on screen.

We handle everything from rigging and pumping systems to water treatment and safety protocols, ensuring seamless integration into your production while maintaining the highest standards of sustainability and efficiency. With years of experience working alongside directors, SFX teams, and production designers, we turn creative visions into fluid, dynamic realities.

Our high visual impact water cannons were developed for Frogger in 2021. These cannons utilise air pressure to fire a shot of water on demand, triggered via a 12v switch, programmable into any automation system.
