LATEST TECH FROM OUR PARTNERS AT POOLCOP
Permanent monitoring by the system and tailor-made maintenance routines ensure treatment and functioning based on actual requirements. You can expect to reduce chemical consumption by half and energy consumption by about a third while the pool benefits from improved water quality – a pool that is healthier and more pleasant for you or your customer to swim in.
PoolCop can adjust cleaning cycles and pool refills automatically. Filtration duration is systematically adjusted, and energy consumption is optimised according to the needs of your pool.
The anomaly detection system will provide endless benefits and prevent issues. For example, if the water level drops abnormally, PoolCop alerts you so that you can react before it becomes a more significant issue.

SAVE ENERGY WHILST IMPROVING WATER QUALITY By Mitch
Over many years the art of calculating flow and filtration rates has been lost. Many pool engineers now guess what size filter and pump are required, but not at Specialist Pools Services.
Believe it or not, you will improve your water clarity by lowering the velocity of water that passes through the filter.
The analogy we like to use is, on a sandy beach, if you have a grain of rice and a bowling ball, they will both sit on the surface, you can push the grain of rice into the sand but not the bowling ball, but with enough pressure the bowling ball can be pushed under too. These principles are the same for filtration. By putting a bigger filter on the same pool system, you are lowering that pressure inside said filter and allowing more to sit on the surface. We are talking about microscopic particles in a filter, so the tolerances are much more delicate. All this being said, adding a variable speed pump to your pool with a flow meter allows you to accurately balance the flow with the filtration.
Now for the other way, backwash. Backwashing must occur at a higher velocity than filtration, achieved with a variable-speed pump. Increasing the velocity during backwash will ‘fluidise’ the filter media. When the media is fluidised, it will allow the media to move around, and the particles that were once trapped by the media will go to waste, cleaning your filter for the next filtration cycle.
The last advantage of a variable speed pump is cost saving. Why run the pump at full speed when the pool is not in use? We have already mentioned that slower filtration gives cleaner water, allowing your pool to recover while not in use. When turned down, the pump will use considerably less power (80% pump speed will use 50% less energy), and with less water movement, the heating system will not need to work as hard during these slower times.
