Chlorine

Chlorine is the most commonly used disinfectant in the pool area. It kills harmful bacteria, viruses and algae, thus ensuring hygienically clean water. The chlorine value should be between 0.3-0.8 g/L free chlorine. Regular monitoring of the chlorine value and, if necessary, additional dosing are crucial in order to maintain the disinfection effect. This can be done manually or fully automatically. Modern measuring and control systems offer several advantages here: Not only is the chlorine level monitored, but the electrolysis system is also controlled as required to prevent unnecessary consumption of resources and ensure an optimum pool experience at all times. In addition, this works without the need to add chemicals and purely via the electrolysis process. This also saves you having to buy and handle hazardous chemicals. This makes your pool a healthy and low-maintenance experience.

The efficient use of pool water is not only environmentally friendly, but can also lead to considerable savings in water and energy costs. Here are some tips on how to use pool water efficiently:

Use pool cover:
Use a pool cover when the pool is not in use. A cover reduces the evaporation of the water and helps to maintain the water temperature. This reduces the amount of water and energy required to heat the pool.

Reduction of evaporation:
Use sprinklers or water fountains in the pool sparingly, as this increases the evaporation of the water. High evaporation leads to increased refilling of the pool water.

Optimise water temperature:
Reduce the water temperature of the pool to reduce the consumption of the pool heating. One degree less can already lead to considerable savings.

Precise dosing of chemicals:
Dose chemicals such as chlorine and pH regulators exactly according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Overdosing leads to increased consumption and skin irritation. Modern measurement and control technology supports you here and helps you to always ensure a balanced pool chemistry through automation.

Regular check for leaks:

Check the pool regularly for leaks. A leaking pool system can lead to a considerable loss of water. Repair leaks as quickly as possible to minimise water consumption.
We recommend installing a separate water meter for the automatic replenishment of your pool. This allows you to quickly identify consumption and, above all, increased consumption.

Optimise the filter backwash:
Only backwash the pool filter when it is really necessary. Excessive backwashing leads to increased water consumption. Here too, you can get support from modern technology and automation.

Conscious use of pool water:

Encourage pool users to use pool water consciously and not waste it unnecessarily.
By applying these tips, you can help to reduce water consumption and increase efficiency in the use of pool water. This will not only save resources, but also reduce the operating costs of your pool.
When choosing a water treatment system with low water consumption, it is important to consider the specific requirements and characteristics of your pool.
It is best to consult a specialist company or a pool equipment manufacturer to identify the most suitable system for your pool.

Low-water-consumption system

Choosing the right water treatment system can have a significant impact on your pool’s water consumption. That is why we at EWT design and develop sustainable and efficient electrolysis systems. Future-proof technology with significant benefits for your pool experience.

Membrane electrolysis systems convert salt into active chlorine within the unit. This is released directly into the pool water at the point of generation, meaning that no disinfection by-products enter your pool. This extends the water replacement cycle and helps prevent skin irritation.
