Intellidoser Automatic Pool Dosing System For Home Pools
Intellidoser does away with the time consuming chore of repeatedly testing and dosing a pool. The product constantly analyses water chemistry and automatically feeds pH control and sanitizing chemicals to maintain perfect pool conditions – at a price that is affordable for home pools. Intellidoser uses intelligent software algorithms that measure and actually predict changes in water chemistry.
It feeds precise quantities of control chemicals using special chemical pumps, the same precision pumps you see in medical equipment, so there’s no waste and no excess chemicals in your pool water.
Often with manual dosing, sanitiser is all too apparent to pool users just after dosing, but then fades away to potentially dangerous low levels after a few days. Intellidoser constantly measures and adjusts pool chemistry so you avoid the unpleasant highs and the dangerous lows. Temperature, usage and time since last dose all cause
pool chemistry to fluctuate. Intellidoser automatically adjusts to changes in pool conditions: there’s no need to readjust settings during periods of summer heat and no wastage of chemicals occurs during cool periods. Intellidoser dispenses the precise amount of chemical required so you get perfect pool conditions with lower chemical usage and lower pool running costs. Until now, automatic dosing systems have generally been too complicated and expensive for home pools.
Intellidoser has changed that. It uses the latest microcontroller and medical pump technology to provide a complete, affordable, one-box solution designed specifically for pools of up to 120 cubic metres.
Intellidoser is an easily installed, self-contained unit with all the controls required to manage both pH and sanitiser levels, automatically.

Fairlocks Gain Distribution Of AFM Active Filter Media In The UK
Known for their eco friendly energy saving products, Fairlocks are pleased to announce that they are now official distributor for Dryden Aqua’s AFM filter media in the UK. Fairlock’s Paul Webb said: “We feel the addition of AFM fits well into our existing product range as it effectively reduces chemical consumption, whilst helping to lower the risk of legionella and is certified for drinking water under UK regulations. All in all the introduction of AFM into any pool system is a wise decision and one that brings not only ecological values but is also extremely cost saving for both private and commercial use.” • AFM is the only activated filter media
• Electro-mechanical filtration media
Very
hydrophilic electrically charged surface
• High surface catalytic oxidation potential
• Self sterilising (will not biofoul, reduces Legionella risk)
Heat exchanger specialist, Bowman has never doubted that its heat exchangers can heat a swimming pool effectively using solar thermal energy as the primary heat source - even in the UK’s variable climate. Now, the company’s confidence has been backed by tests carried out by solar energy experts, Barilla Solar.
Barilla Solar Pool Feels The Heat Thanks To Bowman provides comprehensive
AR Flat Plate solar thermal
collectors. A single Bowman heat exchanger transfers energy
Barilla Solar has been testing Bowman heat exchangers on an outdoor demonstration pool since May 2012 as part of a two-year programme. The aim is to prove that solar thermal is a viable primary heat source for UK outdoor pools and that installation is both easy and straightforward. Ongoing results have shown that Bowman solar heat exchangers are easily capable of heating the outdoor pool to comfortable temperatures all year round.
Barilla has been simulating and testing a variety of typical UK climate conditions, to prove its solar thermal system will work effectively. Results have shown that even on a cloudy day, pool temperatures have been reaching 22-23°C.
The pool has a capacity of 37,500 litres and is being heated by 6 x Barilla F22

generated in the collectors to heat the pool. The experiment will continue for a further two years to help Barilla correlate the actual performance of a pool system against the modelling software that it has developed. Whilst many contractors have already
discovered the benefits of renewable energy, some have shown reluctance to recommend it to customers due to a perception that installation is complex.
Consequently, Barilla has set out to demonstrate that renewable systems are as easy to install and commission as a conventional boiler system and the company
advice and support for contractors considering
the system for the first time. Commenting on the results,
Kevin Howell of Bowman says: “We’re delighted but not surprised by the results of Barilla’s tests, as our renewable energy heat exchanger range has been specially designed to work with the lower temperature water delivered by a solar system, compared to the hotter temperatures of traditional boilers.
“Many of our customers have been genuinely surprised at the difference a Bowman high efficiency heat exchanger makes to the efficiency of their pool. With pool heat-up times up to 60% faster than most competitor products, energy demand is significantly reduced, making solar heating a much more viable heat source for Northern Europe.”
