POOL TWIN

A pool twin is a liquid chlorine Chlorine-pH control system for swimming pools, fully premounted on a board , plug and play. The Pool twin has a display control, with which you can read pH and Chlorine, and inject the right dosage of chlorine and pH-. The Wifi Pool twin is exactly the same, but the display control is substituted by wifi/ mobile phone control. Designed by beniferro, to be used by everyone who enjoys clear water!

Harmo Pool twin automatically doses liquid chlorine and acid to maintain the chlorine level and pH. A Pool duo does exactly the same, but the liquid chlorine has been replaced by salt electrolysis.

Pool Twins and Duos can be used on all pools, from 10 to 100m³.

Absolutely not… The consumption of a peristaltic pump is 6 watts, a salt electrolysis consumes about 100 watts. These devices typically operate 1 (peristaltic pump) to 4 hours (salt electrolysis) per day. This is in contrast to the pool’s energy guzzlers which typically use 500-1000 watts (filter pump) or 1500-4000 watts (heat pump) for 4-8 hours a day.

Absolutely not. Everything is pre-assembled on a plate, which you can attach to the wall. The devices are placed in the pipe from the filter pump to the pool via the two rubber sleeves. In many cases you don’t even need to do any pasting. If you place a bypass, or work with salt electrolysis, you will have to do a little bit of gluing.

During a calibration, the pH and the Redox probes are equalized with a certified “buffer” of pH 7.0 or redox 460mV (Chlor). After a calibration you can be sure that your device measures perfectly. It is necessary to perform a calibration every year at the beginning of the pool season. We also recommend that you regularly check the pH and chlorine content and, if in doubt, recalibrate.

 

Via Beniferro.eu you can see which spare parts you can purchase. The distributor in your country can provide it to you. If you do not have a distributor in your country, you can contact Beniferro yourself. In winter it is best to place your probes indoors, in 3 Molar KCl storage solution. We recommend to replace the chlorine and acid pressure pipe, to replace the chlorine injector (in the case of the Pool twin) and the peristaltic hoses and to lubricate with silicone grease.

For the Pool Twin you should use liquid chlorine 15% with anti-limescale (or add anti-limescale liquid to the chlorine), in combination with liquid pH-15% (Sulphuric acid).

For the salt electrolysis you should add 2-4 grams of salt per liter to the swimming pool water, depending on the device, in combination with liquid pH-15% (Sulphuric acid).

POOL DUO

A pool duo uses salt electrolysis to produce chlorine. We have 2 variants, one which uses a lot of salt and one which is a bit more frugal. Both products have their pro’s and cons. These can be found on our website when you go to ‘Water Treatment’.

A pool duo is a chlorine Chlorine-pH control system for swimming pools, fully premounted on a board , plug and play. The chlorine is generated by a salt electrolysis. The Pool Duo has a display control, with which you can read pH and Chlorine, and inject the right dosage of pH- and generate via the electrolysis, the correct quantity of Chlorine. The Wifi Pool duois exactly the same, but the display control is substituted by wifi/ mobile phone control. Designed by beniferro, to be used by everyone who enjoys clear water!

SOLAR HEATING

An EPDM solar heater is a cheap and ecological way to heat your pool naturally. It is heated by the use of EPDM panels, which have tiny tubes in them. These panels are put underneath the sun heat and can reach temperatures of 50°C. Water is running through the tubes while the sun shines and this way your pool water can be heated up to 6 °C/day.

An EPDM solar heater is very reliable because of the possibility to combine it with a heat pump, which makes it 100% reliable. When the sun does not shine and the panels are cold, a heat pump can take over the heating process. This provides a constant desired temperature.

We made the construction of the EPDM swimming pool heater as easy as possible. It can be placed by a single person and can be installed in matter of an hour.

The surface you need for your EPDM panels is not to be overlooked at before buying. A rule of thumb is at least half of the surface area as your swimming pool.

This can be seen in one of our repair videos about EPDM on YouTube.

A heat pump consumes about 200 euros per 10m³ of water per swimming pool season. Solar heating is free. The prices of the mats themselves vary from 144 to 399 euros.

WIFIPOOL

Wifipool is an App with which you can measure
the values of your swimming pool ,
start-stop your swimming pool equipment,
monitor and optimize the performance of your
pool. 

You can use the wifipool equipment nearly everywhere in your swimming pool : control of the filtration filtration pump (and frequency regulator) , monitoring and controling pH and Redox , monitoring the temperature and start-stop the pool heating etc ….

WIFI pool can be used anywhere, anytime. 

The app is available in the Google Play Store and the App Store. Look for “Wifipool” 

As long as you have a wifi-connetion you can check on your pool. It does not matter where you are in the world, as long as the WiFi connection is there.

Wifipool is – given the technology used – a very cheap and flexible way to automate a swimming pool.

Wifipool is modular: you can, for example, start with a pH measuring box, and expand it at a later stage to a fully-fledged automatic pH control

The combination and automation possibilities of WiFipool are “infinite”. For example, you can decide to only dose pH minus if pH is higher than the set value, AND flow is measured, AND within a certain time zone. You can also ensure that the frequency controller starts circulating the water faster during the pH dosing, in order to mix the products better.

With Wifipool you can send yourself notifications if one of the values ​​of the pool is out of specifications.

If the Wi-Fi drops, each instrument will go into its fail-safe mode, in most cases shutting down the equipment. As soon as the Wi-Fi recovers, the devices will pick it up, and they will work normally again.

 

It is possible to set as fail-safe that a device should work. If the filter pump has to run in the winter in freezing weather (to prevent freezing), then – when the WiFi is lost – the filter pump will work.

A frequency regulator is a device used to control the rpm of your pump. This will lower your flow which results in a reduced consumption of electricity.
