Recotherm Ltd of Birmingham, one of the country’s leading and most innovative manufacturers of indoor swimming pool environmental control systems, has launched a unique online feature to demonstrate their superior technology which members of the trade can log on to and have a play themselves! Recotherm’s advanced computerised controls ensure that the correct temperature and humidity within a pool hall is always maintained whilst the unit operates at optimal efficiency. A touch-screen display panel provides a full range of control operations to give total control over the internal environment. The controls can also be accessed remotely over the internet via a smarphone, tablet or desktop computer. To demonstrate this, Recotherm has set up a controller in their office to give potential customers an insight into how the user interface looks. This controller can be accessed in real time by members of the trade by going to: http://bit.ly/1c4GIO7 This link only allows a visitor to see


what’s going on. If a member of the trade wishes to access it and change settings and parameters to get a feel for the functionality of the features, they simply


need to contact Recotherm and request a username and password. Recotherm staff will then talk you through how to use it. Martin Killen, Recotherm’s Managing Director, said: “This online tool allows us to demonstrate to a contractor the actual remote access functionality of our systems, and the benefits it affords both the home owner and the pool contractor. It has been exceedingly well received by those who have used it so far and have given us some really useful feedback. We’re now looking to make the tool available to the rest of the trade for them to experience.”
