Pool and Spa Water Chemistry Control Systems

Spanish

The PoolWarden is a water chemistry chemical controller that can control much more than just pH and sanitizer. The control of heaters and variable speed pumps in addition to the measurement and control of pH and ORP allows the PoolWarden to track monthly costs and savings if taking advantage of the energy management capabilities of the PoolWarden.

Standard features of the PoolWarden

  • Data Recording: Stores up to 8200 lines of data. At a 1 minute interval that is 5.5 days, at 15 minutes almost 3 months!
  • ORP: Oxidation reduction potential, 0 to 999 mV, calibration supported.
  • pH: 4.2 to 9.8, calibration supported.
  • Temperature: 32 to 120 Fahrenheit, calibration supported.
  • Sanitizer Control: Liquid, erosion feeder, suction side cal-hypo, and salt systems.
  • pH Control: Acid and base.
  • Aux relay Control: Heater, feed daily and alarm out.
  • WIFI Option: Connection to the local wireless network.
  • Ethernet Option: Connection to the local wired network.
  • Real Time Clock: Time and date including the day of the week are built into the PoolWarden.
  • Proportional Control: Supported on temperature, pH and ORP for reduced setpoint overshoot.
  • Display backlight: Press any button and the backlight will turn on making the display easy to read at night.
  • Flow measurement: Supports digital flow meters and flow switches.
  • Name: Give the PoolWarden a name to make it easy to tell which one is which.
  • Manual mode: Manually turn any relay on for an adjustable amount of time.
  • Disable relays: Disable all relays for up to one hour, can be handy when servicing the pool.
  • Total relay on time: Easy to see how long a relay has been on for the month.
  • Security: Includes a master password and service password.
  • Relay wizards: Simply select the type of control for each relay using the wizards.
  • Service PIN codes: Allows for tracking of then the PoolWarden was serviced and by whom.
  • Heater Energy Management: Adds a night time temperature setpoint that can be setup with different time for each day of the week. Lowering the temperature when the pool and spa are closed will help to lower heating costs.
  • Variable Speed Pumps: Allows for setting a time for each day of the week that the pump runs full speed, and when to run at low speed.
  • Monthly Chemical Usage: The data server tracks the amount of time each month that the relays are on. Dollar values can be assigned to display money spent on chemicals.

The PoolWarden is a single and two pool chemical controller with the ability to measure pH, ORP, temperature and flow. The single pool model includes 3 output relays and the dual pool model includes 6 output relays. Supports easy setup for various types of chemical control including salt systems, Cal-Hypo suction side, acid, base, heaters and more.

The optional WIFI and Ethernet modules allow the PoolWarden to connect to the Internet with the following features:

  • Connect directly to the PoolWarden to view the measurements and make programming changes if needed.
  • The PoolWarden can send data to www.poolwarden.com where the data can later be viewed and printed
    • View the raw data
    • View the data in graphs by day or month
    • Download the data in CSV format
    • Print out reports
    • Data can include service pin code entry timestamps
    • Email alarm notifications
    • The optional data service is only $15 per month and the first year is included
  • PoolWarden software update. If ControlOMatic releases new software, it can be uploaded in seconds.

ControlOMatic Residential Pool and Spa

ColorChlor hot tub and spa chlorine generator

Saltwater chlorine generators are very popular in hundreds of thousands of swimming pools worldwide and ControlOMatic is one of the few companies making a saltwater system chlorine generator for spas and hot tubs. The revolutionary new saltwater chlorine generators, ColorChlor® and TechniChlor™ have been specifically designed as a hot tub and spa chlorine generator and takes into effect the higher water temperature and smaller water volume. These portable and easy to use electronic chlorine generators automatically sanitize spa and hot tub water by converting skin softening saltwater into sanitizing chlorine. This eliminates the time and need to store and pour traditional liquid or tablet sanitizing products. There are no buttons, no moving parts, no separate control boxes or timers. These products are so easy to use! Simply program each model to one of ten chlorine generation power levels based on spa size and usage, and they'll take care of the rest. Product installation is simple and requires no hot tub or spa modification. A GFI or GFCI protected outlet is all you need - and 1.5 pounds of salt per 100 gallons of spa water.

Visit ControlOMatic for more information on the residential spa chlorine generators.

With the WIFI module the PoolWarden sends data to this data server for later viewing. ORP Is oxidation reduction potential and is a measurement of the waters ability to oxidize and keep the water safe. The data shown is from the ControlOMatic test SPA currently controlling liquid chlorine on a long term test. The above plots show the current state of the measurements and how the data can be viewed when sent with a PoolWarden. The pool is also shown but it is too cold for testing at this time.
