Swimming Pool Operating Systems

KNOWLEDGE – THE FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING WE DO.

If knowledge is the foundation of life, then learning, research and development are the route to progress.

Without knowledge, we simply fail to progress. With knowledge swimming pool operating systems deliver perfect swimming pools.

At Techpools, knowledge is not something we acquire and then put on a shelf. It is an ongoing process of learning, testing, analysing and improving.

Our business is built around a constant programme of research and development, focused entirely on one specialist area:

The swimming pool operating system.

That means understanding and integrating:

Filtration
Circulation
Water chemistry
Heating and cooling
Electrical control
WiFi and active control systems
Energy efficiency
System reliability

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Techpools specialises in the complete swimming pool operating system.

We do not look at individual pieces of equipment in isolation. We look at how the complete system operates, how the individual components interact and, most importantly, how the system performs over time.

Our objective is to develop solutions that are:

Sustainable. Responsible. Hygienic. Reliable. And ultimately luxurious.

Luxury, in our view, is not simply how a swimming pool looks.

Luxury is clean, comfortable, quiet, reliable water with a plant room that works intelligently in the background.

SYSTEM DESIGN

Our systems are designed as fully integrated operating systems.

Filtration, circulation, heating, cooling, chemical management and control are considered together rather than as separate additions.

This allows us to design a system where each component contributes to the performance of the whole.

The result is a considered operating system designed around the pool, its environment and the people responsible for looking after it.

OUR MARKET

Our specialist market includes:

Residential swimming pools
Community pools
Boutique hotels
High-use holiday rental pools
Luxury properties

Outdoor swimming pools are our particular area of expertise because outdoor water behaves very differently from indoor pool water.

Sunlight, temperature, rainfall, wind, dust, bather load and environmental contamination all influence the water chemistry and the demands placed on the operating system.

Understanding these differences is fundamental to designing the correct solution.

OUR CUSTOMERS

Our customers are discerning and considerate owners, professionals and pool operators who want a luxury swimming pool solution based on proven facts rather than guesswork.

They want hygienic water.
They want reliable equipment.
They want lower energy consumption.
They want reduced noise.

And they want a system that has been properly considered rather than simply assembled from individual products.

TRAINING AND KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER

Technology alone does not operate a swimming pool.

People do.

That is why we also train pool cleaners and owners to understand the basic science behind swimming pool operation.

We explain why the solutions are required, rather than simply telling people what to do.

Understanding the relationship between chlorine, stabiliser, pH, alkalinity, calcium, temperature, circulation and filtration allows problems to be identified before they become expensive problems.

Our objective is simple:

Understand the science. Understand the system. Then manage the pool accordingly.

INVERTER TECHNOLOGY

The development of inverter technology has changed what is possible in swimming pool operation.

Variable-speed inverter technology allows circulation, filtration and heating or cooling systems to operate at the level actually required rather than simply running at full power.

This means:

Lower power consumption.
Lower operating noise.
Variable performance.
Programmable operation.
Greater control.

When these systems are connected using WiFi and appropriate control technology, they can operate as a coordinated system rather than as individual pieces of equipment.

This forms a major part of the Techpools operating philosophy.

FROM INTELLICHEMS TO INTELLICHEMSPRO

Understanding water chemistry is fundamental to safe and responsible swimming pool operation.

We developed Intellichems to automate the controlled delivery of liquid chlorine and acid.

But research and development did not stop there.

The continued development of the system led to IntellichemsPRO.

WiFi control and home-automation technology allow chemical delivery to be controlled and managed remotely.

But the real development is not simply WiFi control.

It is data.

Continuous collection of operating information allows us to identify trends in pool behaviour.

Instead of attempting to manage water chemistry from an occasional poolside snapshot, we can look at what has been happening over time.

This allows us to identify changing demands, recognise developing problems and make adjustments before a small problem becomes a major one.

We are moving from reacting to water chemistry to predicting it.

FULLY SUPPORTED

Our systems are supported throughout their operating life.

We carry stock of the equipment and components we supply wherever practical, allowing us to respond quickly when mechanical defects occur.

Data collection and trend analysis also provide another level of support.

Changes in system behaviour can identify developing faults, changing chemical demand and maintenance requirements.

The objective is not simply to repair equipment when it fails.

It is to understand the system well enough to identify what it is telling us.

MAKING LIFE EASIER

A swimming pool should not become a full-time job for its owner.

Nor should a professional pool cleaner have to spend excessive amounts of time trying to interpret changing water chemistry while working against time constraints.

Our systems are designed to make pool management easier.

For the pool cleaner, the principle is simple:

Observe – Test – Send.

The cleaner observes the pool, carries out the required tests and sends the information to us.

We analyse the data and provide the support required to manage the system.

For resident owners, we can simplify the operation even further.

With the correct equipment and instructions, the owner can take control of routine pool management themselves.

A suitable robotic cleaner can remove much of the physical cleaning requirement, while WiFi-controlled filtration and automated backwashing can remove many of the routine plant-room tasks.

The objective is simple:

Make the technology work for the owner, rather than making the owner work for the technology.

JOIN US

If you are a pool cleaner who wants a better working life, join us.
