utomatic chemical control systems may not hit the headlines but, as in so many cases, it is these hardworking ‘backroom’ boys who toil away relentlessly so that the headline act; i.e. the swimming pool or spa out front, grabs the spotlight and shows off its clean, sparkling
and most of all perfectly balanced supremely healthy water just crying out for an audience. Commercial implementation of these effective and reliable automated pool and spa monitors has been commonplace for many years and with the latest advances it is even easier for the pool operator to maintain the facility to optimum levels, no matter what the bather load. Domestic pool owners have also picked up on the advantages of automatic dosing and control realising that investment is the way to save long term as there is no danger of over chemicalising the pool so saving money on water treatment and at the same time ensuring that pool water is not subject to unnecessary fluctuation causing wear and tear on liners and other pool equipment. The latest innovations are high tech and can even be operated remotely; we look at what’s making life automatically easier for pool owners and operators.
NEW AND AFFORDABLE INTELLIDOSER MAKES LOOKING AFTER DOMESTIC POOLS A BREEZE! Maintaining a clean, fresh and safe pool can be a constant labour for many home pool owners and to date, various automatic dosing systems have generally been too complicated and expensive for many domestic pools. The new Intellidoser from PoolPerfect will change that. This exciting new product looks after the chemical balance on its own for up to three months and uses intelligent software algorithms that measure, adjust and actually predict changes in water chemistry. It feeds precise quantities of control chemicals using special chemical pumps so there’s no waste and no excess chemicals in the pool water, resulting in lower running costs and perfect pool conditions at all times.
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.
Using Intellidoser avoids these unpleasant highs and the dangerous lows. Temperature, usage and time since last dose all cause pool chemistry to fluctuate too, but Intellidoser automatically adjusts to changes in pool conditions so users don’t need to readjust settings.
Intellidoser is easily installed in both existing pools or new builds, and eliminates the need for a separate timer. An affordable automatic pool dosing system with all the controls necessary to maintain perfect pool chemistry for pools of up to 120 cu m, Intellidoser uses the latest microcontroller and medical pump technology to provide a complete, cost effective, onebox solution which features all the controls required to manage both pH and sanitiser levels automatically. It’s a must have product for any domestic pool.

ELECTROCHLORINATION DISINFECTION FROM GRUNDFOS PUMPS IS WORTH ITS SALT The main method used to obtain the standard of water required in swimming pool applications frequently uses either chlorine gas or chlorination via a hypochlorite solution. Although chlorine is a fairly low cost solution, this is countered by numerous disadvantages that includes the smell and taste post treatment which makes it an irritant as well as being potentially unpleasant to be in the vicinity of.
