How to automate your pool maintenance?

Imagine being able to enjoy healthy and clean pool water all season long, without any effort. With maintenance automation , it is now possible and accessible to everyone. Indeed, regardless of the technical characteristics of your pool (shape, liner, shell), the nature of its treatment (chlorine, salt electrolysis, UV) and its type of filtration (cartridge filter, sand filter, diatomaceous earth filter), its maintenance can be fully automated.

To help you better understand the benefits and introduce you to the different automation systems that exist on the market, Aboral takes you on a tour of this equipment that will make your life easier!

Automation of swimming pool maintenance: what are the advantages?

Automated pool equipment , made up of sensors, allows you to analyze and adapt the treatment of your pool as best as possible so that it is always perfectly dosed. Thus, treatment dosage errors are avoided and the consequences too.

Indeed, when the treatment of your swimming pool is not regular enough or poorly carried out, the pool water can become green. In this case, a shock treatment (with chlorine, bromine or liquid active oxygen depending on the usual treatment of your pool) is necessary.

This step is restrictive since it requires a 48-hour rest period before you can resume swimming. In addition, these treatments are extremely powerful and can prematurely wear out the coating of your pool.

Conversely, if your pool treatment is too extensive, this can lead to health risks for swimmers. A temporary stop to swimming, or even a complete draining of your pool, may therefore be required.

In addition, equipping yourself with automated devices will make your life easier. Are you going on vacation for several weeks? Don't worry! Thanks to automated maintenance , your pool will remain clean, even after you return. Ideal for extending your vacation by taking a dip once you get home.

Finally, as you might expect, one of the last advantages of automating your pool is obviously saving time. Indeed, by equipping your pool, you will spend less time treating your pool and therefore more time enjoying swimming moments with family or friends!

Solutions to automate the maintenance of your swimming pool 

In order to automate the water treatment process in your swimming pool, two solutions exist on the market: automatic disinfectant dispensers (chlorine or bromine) and pH regulators .

Automatic disinfectant dispensers

Composed of a tank designed to receive, depending on your pool, chlorine or bromine, automatic distributors facilitate the injection of these disinfectants into your pool.

These devices still require regular checking that the disinfectant tank is never empty.

The pH regulator

The principle of this tool is simple. Integrated into the hydraulic network of your pool, the regulator probe measures the pH of your pool every day. If necessary, the device regulates the pH by adding regulation product continuously until the water is balanced.

For reasons of efficiency and practicality, you can also opt for a pH regulator combined with an automatic disinfectant dispenser.

Be careful, although this equipment is a real time saver and peace of mind, you will need to check your water values from time to time . Indeed, you are not safe from a failure on one of your devices!
