It’s a hazy lazy dog day evening. You’ve just spent another excellent day absolutely crushing it. And you’re going to continue crushing it now that you’re off the clock.
Good food. Good drink. Good tunes. Good vibes. Good times – at the pool – pronto.
But wait. You did remember to maintain your pool throughout the summer, didn’t you? You know. Clean it. Schedule its pumping cycle. Test its chemical properties. That sort of thing?
Well, of course you did. You crush it when it comes to pool management. But you might wish you didn’t have to work quite so hard at it, or spend so much time doing it. Pool owners have places to be, after all. That’s why we know you’ll appreciate the smart technology which is now making pool management more convenient than ever. That’s right! Your pool … is going … digital.
Wi-Fi Cleaning Robot
We grew up watching The Jetsons, so we’re a little disappointed that pool cleaning robots don’t have wisecracking personalities. Aside from that, we’re blown away by how far the technology has come.
Take the Dolphin Sigma as an example of what a high-end robocleaner can do. Moves freely around the pool, including its walls and right up to its waterline. Scours and vacuums away crud with three powerful 24v DC motors – automatically, at any schedule you choose. Eliminates the need for emptying a messy bag. And thanks to its Wi-Fi connectivity, you can even send the Dolphin Sigma to clean a specific part of your pool using only your smartphone. All that in a 35-pound machine!
Wi-Fi Control System
The original pool control system was the mechanical time clock. It’s a 24-hour dial with one needle in its center, slowly revolving until whenever the pool owner wants the pump to activate – usually a time of day when no one swims. It also makes it easy to manually turn the pump on and off.
Those are both helpful features. But they are all of a mechanical time clock’s features. If you want the true 21st century solution to pool pump programming, then you need a Wi-Fi enabled control system. A product like the Pentair IntelliConnect comes with a free downloadable app that allows you to customize your own pump schedule, control interconnected equipment, and even receive notifications when you need to perform maintenance.
Just imagine it. Controlling a pool pump from the other side of the world. The thought alone is enough to make you feel like Zeus.
Wi-Fi Water Monitor
Everyone loves pool water test kits! There’s nothing more satisfying than using an EDTA titration drop test to measure the calcium hardness of water in parts per million.
In fairness, pool water tests are hardly rocket science. Measuring alkalinity, bromine, chlorine, cyanuric acid, calcium and pH levels only requires a little time and a few chemicals.
But you’ve seen Breaking Bad, which is why you already know that chemistry can lead someone down a dark and dangerous path. That’s what makes a smart pool water monitor so great. Just place a sensor inside your skimmer, and presto – your smartphone will always light up with up-to-date chemical data. Temperature. Free chlorine. Even pH. The key information you need to prevent corrosion, algae blooms, cloudy water and irritated eyes, right there in the palm of your hand!
