Since 1 February 2018 the pool has been officially named "LAGO Lier De Waterperels".
The name Waterperels refers to the waterperels, the water pearls that give the pool its identity; since 1 February 2018 the complex has been officially called "LAGO Lier De Waterperels". The grey section of the building carries the lettering "Waterperels" facing the street. The pool is privately run by the S&R Group, which operates other pools in Belgium.
