The global impact of swimming pool chemicals, primarily chlorine, is significant due to their potential to damage aquatic ecosystems upon release into natural environments. These chemicals contribute to aquatic toxicity and environmental pollution, disrupt ecological balance, and pose health risks through exposure to toxic byproducts. Moreover, their production is energy-intensive and contributes to increased emissions of greenhouse gases.

Maintaining proper water balance by adjusting pH and water chemistry levels is essential. An intelligent close-loop system prevents overdosing and ensures your chemicals are used efficiently. By carefully distributing the right amount of chemicals, pool owners can cut down chemical usage by up to 40%, allowing them to save on pool chemicals and helping them maintain a healthy swimming environment.

Eco-friendly Precision
Constantly knowing the right pH is essential for minimizing chemical use in pools. Hanna Instruments, a global leader in pH monitoring, offers advanced technology that facilitates regular monitoring of pool water, and precise chemical distribution. By maintaining proper water balance and adjusting pH and alkalinity levels as required, this approach not only prevents overdosing but also promotes efficient chemical use, thereby reducing the release of toxic chemicals.

The BL13X pool controllers feature a range of functions designed for simplicity and effective pool management. With automated pH monitoring and maintenance, this closed-loop system is ideal for hotels and resorts, spas, wellness centers, amusement water parks, condominiums with pool access, local town and community facilities with swimming pools, as well as home pools and hot tubs.

Modular Repairable Design
The system offers control for all types of pools, with built-in support for external dispensing pumps. Additionally, an air temperature sensor is integrated to activate alarms and prevent the risk of water freezing in the pipes during cold conditions, a crucial feature for maintaining hot tubs and pools in winter.

The design streamlines maintenance tasks: a magnetic cover effortlessly detaches, providing access to the mechanical components. The integrated pumps are replaceable, granting users the right-to-repair and update the system themselves, extending its usability without replacing the entire system. This design allows for all standard pump and electrical maintenance to be carried out without removing the device from its installation location.

The product is built with multiple users in mind, ensuring it meets various needs effectively. For everyday pool users, the controller’s exterior provides reassurance at a glance, showing that it’s operational. The display of the active pumps and an LCD screen, along with status lights, offers immediate visual feedback from the outside.
