Innovations in Pool Cleaning Technology
Innovations in pool covers have transformed a once basic item into a powerful, multi-dimensional cleaning tool.
Cleaning the swimming pool keeps the water and lining clean, preserving water quality and aesthetic appeal. Removing debris also prevents damage to the pool system from buildup and blockages.
While the traditional way to clean a pool involves getting yourself (or a professional cleaner) gloved up and possibly wet, innovations in pool cleaning have made keeping the pool sparkling clean much faster and simpler. Here are some ways to pass a pool check swimmingly:
Automated cleaning systems
Cleaning a pool by hand is labor-intensive and costly and might leave areas missed due to inaccessibility. However, modern automated pool-cleaning robot technology has made waves to prevent human error.
Today’s automated pool-cleaning robots use sophisticated sensors guided by complex algorithms to detect and navigate around any pool. This makes them hyper-efficient at performing regular tasks (such as light cleaning) reliably and effectively.
Their movement also helps the filtration system work better by promoting water circulation.
Smart pool monitoring systems
The most dramatic and revolutionary innovation to hit the field of pool cleaning has been the development of smart pool monitoring systems. These systems help pool owners monitor and control pool water quality remotely. Sensors detect physical aspects of the water quality (pH, temperature, and chlorine level) and deliver that information directly to a smartphone app for early response.
Top-grade systems can further be integrated into the maintenance infrastructure, allowing the owners to power up cleaning robots, chlorine dispensers, and disinfectant equipment or even turn off the pump in emergencies.
Sustainable cleaning equipment
Sustainability has slid into almost every industry, including pool cleaning. Its effect is most evident in filtration, vital to keeping a pool clean and fit for swimming, and responsible for most energy consumption. Innovations in filtration systems, such as variable speed pumps, greatly reduce emissions and energy costs, helping save the environment and the owner’s money.
Modern pool covers
Innovations in pool covers have transformed a once basic item into a powerful, multi-dimensional cleaning tool.
Solar pool covers do the traditional job of keeping debris from entering the pool water and preventing evaporation, but they also use the sun’s heat to keep the water warm.
Simultaneously, automatic covers reduce the manual work involved in setting up a pool cover to the push of a button.
Ultraviolet water treatment
Chlorine is synonymous with pool disinfecting. However, the chemical’s instability and reactiveness can irritate those sensitive to it. Chlorine use also causes the development of chloramines that produce foul-smelling odors, increased irritation, and even serious respiratory problems.
Ultraviolet pool cleaning systems massively reduce the chlorine required to keep the pool clean without introducing chemicals. UV systems are also hyper-effective at destroying chloramines and will eliminate their harmful effects.
The reduced chlorine required keeps money in your pocket while making the pool eco-friendly.
Consult a professional to update the pool
Given how many innovations remove manual work from pool cleaning, you may be tempted to start modernizing the pool for the next summer. Before ordering a new cleaning robot, consult a professional pool service. Their technicians can advise you on the best upgrades and how to keep the newest systems in pristine condition.
