WIFI Pool Controllers

It takes a lot to maintain a commercial body of water. You have to not only keep the water clear and inviting, but safe for all of your bathers. This can be especially cumbersome if you manage more than one property. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the technology to manage the chemistry accurately AND remotely? And the ability to keep digital records accessible to all of your staff? Wowza!

WiFi Pool Controllers

A wifi pool controller does a few things. They can monitor your sanitizer and pH. After they get their reading, they dispense small amounts of chemicals to the water to help keep it balanced. This saves you two precious things: time and money. They are commonly referred to as “sense and dispense” systems. You may also hear them called “chemical feeders”.

The more modern pool controllers operate over your existing WiFi system. What does this mean for you? Well, it means you can check, and adjust, your equipment remotely. That means from anywhere on the property or even from other properties. Heck, you could even monitor it from home in your jammies if you were so inclined.

A great example of this is the ProMinent DCM5 series. This system is precise, flexible, and has uncompromising quality. This world-class solution helps ensure a safe and healthy water experience not only for your customers, but for you and your boss. Happy boss, happy life! Right?

The ProMinent WiFi pool controller and the Pool Shark H2O App help you stay in control.

Pool Shark H2O App & the WiFi Pool Controller

This advance in technology has quickly become the swimming pool operator’s best friend. When paired with the LaMotte spin lab, you take a tiny sample of water and put it into a spin disc. This disc is inserted into a portable device and you will have the results sent to your device in just 60 seconds! You do not have to use the spin lab. Regular testing can be done and manually input. The Pool Shark H20 uses the Langelier Saturation Index to provide dosing instructions individualized for each body of water.It has more fields than just ORP and pH, which ensures overall balanced water. This helps not only to keep your water safe, but your pool’s surface, plumbing, and equipment safe.

The Pool Shark H2O App goes above and beyond just water chemistry. It gives you alarms when things are not right such as forgotten water chemical tests. It reminds you to change your VGB drains. It has step-by-step instructions on what to do in case of an AFR (accidental fecal release). It’s gross, but we have all had it happen.

My favorite part is that it stores your water test logs digitally. Gone are the old-fashioned paper log books which get lost, wet and take up a lot of space. Did you know in some regions, you have to keep your water test logs for up to 7 years? That is a lot of wasted storage space.

WiFi Pool Controllers In General

First of all, having a pool monitoring system can be a huge asset to your property. They may even be required by law. WiFi-capable ones are just the newest way to make our jobs easier. This commercial standard can be an integral part of proper water management. A beautiful-looking pool requires proper water chemistry. The two major players are chlorine and pH…just what a pool monitoring system handles. pH and alkalinity determine how efficient our sanitizer is. It also can help prevent scale forming or corrosive water which is all bad dot com. Proper water chemistry also affects water clarity, which is not only important for the look of the water, but for swimmer safety. We need to be able to see the main drain at all times.

WiFi pool controllers test the water in “real-time” so you are always getting up-to-the-minute results. Think of them as being similar to you being on-site 24/7. Once cannot put a price on that. So, technological advances now allow you to control your pool over WiFI. With WiFi controllers like the ProMinent one we talked about above, integrated with the Pool Shark H2O App you can have a single place to see results from both the controller AND the water test results taken by your staff (as required by the health department) across all of your properties. Let’s work smart, not hard. See you poolside!
