Characteristics of Petite Source
Petite Source is a bath of pleasures. With a unique size and available in six finishes, Petite Source is designed as a place of relaxation, allowing you to experience water both indoors and outdoors.
Developed by Piscinelle, Petite Source was envisioned as a unique product that reinvents the art of living with water.
With ecological concerns at the heart of its development, Petite Source combines a vast amount of expertise, history, technology, and, most importantly, well-being to come. All of this is achieved while maintaining true simplicity in its implementation and use.
Because each desire for Petite Source is different, we offer finishes that will meet your personal expectations.
An Eco-Designed Product
Because we are aware of current challenges, we conceived Petite Source as a synthesis of the benefits and conviviality of water.
1m³
Petite Source cherishes water and is responsible with it. That's why it only requires one cubic meter to fill and can last as long as you want. Petite Source takes care of the water by treating it responsibly. No excessive consumption: Petite Source can even be filled with rainwater if desired. No noisy, bubbling gadgets or unnecessary technical devices: a cartridge filter ensures the water's quality is maintained at all times, allowing you to enjoy it whenever you wish. The water asks for no more, and neither does the mind.
100% Recyclable Aluminum Structure
The materials that make up the structure of Petite Source reflect this commitment to responsibility and are 90% recyclable.
The 322 kilograms of aluminum that make up the structure of your Petite Source can, if you choose, be recycled without losing their physico-chemical properties, thereby conserving resources. And when that day comes, we will be there to offer disassembly and the buyback of those 322 kilograms of aluminum. Because our responsibility is both environmental and economic..
Controlled Consumption
As a responsible product, Petite Source is economical not only in its water usage but also in its chemical and electrical consumption.
With reinforced insulation at multiple points and low-consumption, state-of-the-art equipment, Petite Source’s low water volume enables true energy and cost efficiency.
French Manufacturing
Petite Source is designed and made in France by Piscinelle, a 100% French family-owned group, both in terms of capital and production.
With 88% of expenditures in France and 99% within the European Union, Petite Source has earned the right to the "Origine France" label, as verified by customs in November 2023.
Quality and Design in the Service of Comfort
Beyond being an aesthetic product, we envisioned Petite Source as a place for a new water experience. A multisensory experience of relaxation and calm, expressed through a multitude of details for complete well-being.

Submerged Benches
Drawing from the experience of thousands of customers, we’ve made it essential to integrate submerged benches into Petite Source. These U-shaped benches allow for extended bathing, chatting, and relaxing, offering a variety of comfortable positions in perfectly tempered water.
The bench structure is made entirely of aluminum, covered with a resilient foam beneath the liner, ensuring great comfort for long periods of use.
U-shaped Bench Dimensions:
- Height: 40.5 cm
- Side bench depth: 40.5 cm
- Central bench depth: 46 cm
The Coping
The coping of Petite Source is one of the defining features of your bath. Made entirely of anodized aluminum, it offers not only durability and elegant design but also a smooth, silky feel.
Its subtly textured surface interacts with light, creating different visual effects throughout the day.
Unique in the pool world, the metal coping is integral to the structure, waterproofing, and finish of the bath. At 17 cm wide, it provides comfortable seating, and the Petite Source headrest is perfectly adapted to it.
Note: Standing on the coping is not recommended for safety reasons due to its narrow width.
Multicolor LED Spotlight
Each Petite Source is equipped with a color-changing LED spotlight that enhances the ambiance, especially at night. The bathing space becomes warm and inviting, with the soft light whispering relaxation.
The spotlight is controlled via a stainless steel button on the deck or a dedicated remote for intuitive use. It is energy-efficient and connected directly to Petite Source’s main electrical box.
The Deck
The deck contributes to the harmonious aesthetic of Petite Source. Handcrafted by skilled carpenters in our Val d’Oise workshop, it’s built using the same techniques as yacht decks. This meticulous craftsmanship ensures it withstands weather conditions. With around 10 hours of work, the deck is cut, planed, glued, sanded, varnished, and includes an almost invisible access hatch to the skimmer. It’s easy to disassemble and fully waterproof, protecting your filtration equipment.
A New Kind of Luminous Bath
Petite Source offers two finishes that incorporate lighting management around their entire perimeter: "Midnight Halo" and "Starry Nest".
Thanks to this exterior lighting with adjustable colors and intensity, the nighttime ambiance varies, creating an invitation to dream while unleashing the creativity of architects, landscapers, and interior designers. This appeals to both bold individuals and professionals in the hospitality industry.
Intuitive Piezo Inox Control
For complete ease of use, Petite Source integrates two (or three depending on the options you choose) stainless steel Piezo illuminated buttons, allowing you to control the filtration, heating, and interior lighting. This setup enables you to fully immerse in the moment without needing to rely on your smartphone, offering a seamless and intuitive user experience.
Integrated Technical Chamber
For your peace of mind, Petite Source has an integrated technical chamber that houses all filtration, heating, and lighting circuits. Positioned under the waterproof deck, it is accessible from the side by removing the cladding of Petite Source.
For operation, simply connect Petite Source to an electrical supply of 2.5 kW (equivalent to the simultaneous use of a kettle and an oven).
For ease of use, it's recommended to leave about 70 cm of space behind the technical chamber.
The Finishing Panels
Regardless of the finishing panels that will embody your Petite Source, they are all handcrafted in our workshop to ensure a perfect fit and precise cutouts for the built-in technical compartment of Petite Source.
Each material has been carefully selected to offer the best resistance to weather, UV rays, and extreme temperature variations.
Furthermore, their maintenance is extremely simple and can be done using neutral, non-aggressive detergents.
Water color selection
The liner (which serves as the waterproof compartment of Petite Source) determines the color of the water and its reflections. Its hue responds to sunlight, the twinkling of candles, or projector lighting at night. Thus, the color of the liner contributes to realizing your vision of what Petite Source should be: a lagoon, a river, or a distant sandbank where the shoreline fades into the distance…
Your liner is available in three colors: light gray, sand, or white. The sealing components (skimmer, return jets, and bottom drain) will, by default, be provided in the same color as your liner for perfect harmony of Petite Source (unless you opt for the stainless steel option).

Foldable Isothermal Foam Cover
In direct contact with the water surface, the foam cover ensures the thermal insulation of Petite Source while preventing 98% of water evaporation.
The blue floating, closed-cell insulating foam cover is 8 mm thick (510 g/m² – Approximately 1.5 kg). Designed for your ease of use, it is custom-made for Petite Source in a "foldable" design to facilitate handling and storage. The cover consists of 4 sections (0.5 m x 1.5 m) and 3 folds reinforced on both sides by a 4 cm polyethylene reinforced fabric.
Delivered as standard with Petite Source, the cover is a consumable available for purchase.
The Insulation and Comfort Foam Under the Liner
Petite Source is filled with charm and discretion... hidden from view, it is equipped with a high-density, non-deformable foam that provides great user comfort while offering thermal insulation to help maintain the water temperature.
Particularly suited for submerged beaches, the comfort of your benches allows for long reading sessions and conversations without any discomfort.
Moreover, this foam absorbs shocks, provides a flawless finish to the covered surfaces, and prevents any microbial growth.
Note: this high-density closed-cell polyolefin foam is 5 mm thick. It is manufactured without chemical processes, giving it strong stability.
Petite Source Manual Cleaning Kit
This cleaning kit includes a net, brush, and a vacuum that also helps top up the water. It allows you to easily maintain the water volume.

Protective Cover
Designed by Petite Source, each protective cover is handcrafted in artisan workshops in Nantes. Made from nautical-grade fabric, it is fully waterproof, equipped with zip closures, and reinforced at the corners for durability.

The Petite Source headrest is one of those details that transforms your bathing experience. Whether you are sitting or lying in the water, this true pillow will discreetly and naturally enhance your relaxation.

316L Stainless Steel Plated Built-in Components
Petite Source takes on even more design elegance with the stainless steel finish of the built-in components. With a marine-grade finish, 316L stainless steel offers the best possible coating in terms of both aesthetics and quality.
The skimmer, return jets, and projector will have a subtle, almost understated shine, but as we know, perfection lies in the details...
Note: the main drain at the bottom of the technical wall is not available in a stainless steel finish and will be provided in light gray ABS.
A Virtuous Innovation
Petite Source is resolutely innovative and focused on the responsible consumption of resources, both in its manufacturing and use. This innovation is protected by patents, trademarks, and designs filed with the INPI, ensuring the exclusivity of Petite Source and the impossibility of surpassing its level of quality.
