Kollektion: Automatic pool dosing

CAN THE POOL BE MAINTENANCE-FREE?
With an automatic dosing system from Brilix, you can relax and avoid unnecessary work in maintaining your pool. We offer several models tailored to different needs. The simpler models measure pH and REDOX (Reduction/Oxidation) to then dose liquid chlorine and liquid pH minus. The most advanced systems can additionally control the circulation pump, the heater, and have a built-in frost protection (antifreeze mode) that effectively prevents the pool from freezing in winter, providing comprehensive protection for your investment.

Keeping the pool water clean and fresh is crucial for a safe and healthy swimming environment. One of the most important factors in achieving this is maintaining the chlorine level at the right 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 dosing chlorine into the pool, often with the help of a chlorine tablet machine. Manual chlorine dosing can be time-consuming and requires constant attention to ensure the chlorine level is correct.

Automatic chlorine dosing is a significantly more efficient and convenient method for maintaining an optimal chlorine level. With automatic chlorine dosing, chlorine is dosed automatically into the pool, where the system takes into account the pool's size, number of swimmers, and other relevant factors to adjust the dosing.

How does automatic chlorine dosing work?

A system for automatic chlorine dosing typically consists of two main components: a chlorine doser and a control unit. The chlorine doser is the unit that adds chlorine to the pool water, while the control unit controls 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 which doses chlorine powder into the pool, a solution that may be suitable for some pool owners.

• Tablet doser which doses chlorine tablets into the pool, a popular method due to its simplicity.

• Flow doser which doses liquid chlorine into the pool, often used in more advanced automatic systems for precise control.

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

• Pulse-controlled unit which doses chlorine in short, intense pulses, for quick adjustment of the chlorine level.

• Continuously controlled unit which 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 compared to manual chlorine dosing, improving both efficiency and user experience:

• More efficient: Automatic chlorine dosing ensures that the chlorine level is always at the optimal level, guaranteeing continuous disinfection and water quality.

• More convenient: Automatic chlorine dosing significantly reduces manual work and the need for attention, freeing up time for the pool owner.

• Safer: By eliminating human errors, automatic chlorine dosing reduces the risk of the chlorine level becoming either too high or too low, contributing to a safer swimming environment.

Disadvantages of automatic chlorine dosing

Despite its advantages, automatic chlorine dosing has some considerations:

• Cost: The investment cost for a system with automatic chlorine dosing is higher than for manual chlorine dosing.

• Maintenance: Automatic chlorine dosing requires regular maintenance, including cleaning of the chlorine doser and control unit, to maintain optimal function.

Which type of automatic chlorine dosing is right for you?

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

• Pool size: Larger pools generally require a more powerful chlorine doser for effective treatment than smaller pools.

• Number of swimmers: Pools with high bathing frequency and many users need a more robust chlorine doser to effectively dose chlorine and handle increased disinfection needs.

• Pool budget: Automatic chlorine dosing can be a significant investment, so it's important to choose a solution that harmonizes 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.
