Automatic pool dosing

Can you make a pool maintenance-free?

Keeping pool water clean and fresh is essential for a safe and healthy swimming environment. One of the most important factors in achieving this is maintaining the correct chlorine level, as chlorine is an effective disinfectant that eliminates bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms.

Manual chlorine dosing is a traditional method for keeping the chlorine level at the right level. This method involves regularly adding chlorine to the pool, often using a chlorine tablet feeder. Manual dosing can be time-consuming and requires constant attention to ensure the chlorine level is correct.

Automatic chlorine dosing is a far more efficient and convenient method for maintaining an optimal chlorine level. With automatic dosing, chlorine is added to the pool automatically, with the system taking into account the pool size, number of bathers, and other relevant factors to adjust the dosage.

How does automatic chlorine dosing work?

An automatic chlorine dosing system usually consists of two main components: a chlorine doser and a control unit. The doser supplies chlorine to the pool water, while the control unit manages the doser’s function based on real-time conditions in the pool.

There are different types of chlorine dosers and control units tailored to different needs and pool types. The most common types of chlorine dosers are:

• Powder doser that doses chlorine powder into the pool, a solution that may be suitable for some pool owners.
• Tablet doser that doses chlorine tablets into the pool, a popular method thanks to its simplicity.
• Flow doser that doses liquid chlorine into the pool, often used in more advanced automatic systems for precise control.

The most common types of control units that govern how chlorine is added are:

• Pulse-controlled unit that doses chlorine in short, intense pulses for rapid adjustment of chlorine levels.
• Continuously controlled unit that doses chlorine in a steady stream, contributing to a stable and even chlorine level over time.

Advantages of automatic chlorine dosing

Automatic chlorine dosing offers significant advantages over manual dosing, improving both efficiency and user experience:

• More efficient: Automatic dosing ensures the chlorine level is always at the optimal level, guaranteeing continuous disinfection and water quality.
• More convenient: Automatic dosing greatly reduces manual work and attention, freeing up time for the pool owner.
• Safer: By eliminating human error, automatic dosing reduces the risk of chlorine levels being either too high or too low, contributing to a safer swimming environment.

Disadvantages of automatic chlorine dosing

Despite its benefits, automatic chlorine dosing has a few considerations:

• Cost: The investment cost for an automatic dosing system is higher than for manual dosing.
• Maintenance: Automatic dosing requires regular maintenance, including cleaning the chlorine doser and the control unit, to maintain optimal performance.

Which type of automatic chlorine dosing is right for you?

The choice of automatic dosing system should be based on several specific factors, including:

• Pool size: Larger pools generally require a more powerful doser for effective treatment than smaller pools.
• Number of bathers: Pools with high bather frequency and many users need a more robust doser to efficiently dose chlorine and handle the increased need for disinfection.
• Pool budget: Automatic dosing can be a significant investment, so it is important to choose a solution that aligns with your budget and expected operating costs.

If you are considering installing automatic chlorine dosing for your pool, it is important to carefully compare different options on the market to find the solution that best meets your specific requirements and conditions. By downloading a mobile app, you can control and monitor the system via your mobile phone.

Always the right values

The biggest mistake pool owners make is overdosing the pool’s chlorine levels with so-called multitabs (multi-pucks). These multitabs often contain chlorine, stabilizer, flocculant, and algaecide. The problem is that these substances interact and the pH value changes. If the pH is too high, chlorine is not as effective. In addition, these pucks do not dissolve evenly over time as their circumference decreases.

By measuring the REDOX value, you achieve a much more controlled chlorine level in the pool water and less eye or skin irritation.
