Challenge
Maintaining pools can be labor-intensive, requiring accurate monitoring of water hardness and pH levels, along with precise chemical dispensing to maintain water balance and ensure safety. Proper equipment can significantly streamline year-round pool maintenance by facilitating routine maintenance of chemicals, pumps and electrical components, saving considerable time and effort. This ensures the pool is always ready for enjoyment without the hassle of extensive upkeep. Hanna collaborated with Loft to design the next generation of their pool controller.
Solution
Loft Design and Hanna have redefined the product category, delivering improved performance and a cleaner aesthetic. The design team studied user needs and developed an easy-to-maintain and intuitive controller to simplify pool maintenance. The unit has been completely reimagined, enhancing both functionality and design to surpass its predecessor and cater to the discerning global market. The design meets both global and specific market requirements. The introduction of repairable pumps aligns with the increasing demand for durable and maintainable products, further boosting its appeal to consumers.
Outcome
Pool maintenance has never been easier. This low-maintenance pool controller automates water quality monitoring and chemical dispensing, reducing user error and ensuring swimmers' safety. With an automatic dosing system, it maintains precise chemical balance, enhancing the swimming experience and environmental friendliness. Repairable pumps align with the right-to-repair movement, allowing easy field repairs. The integrated air temperature sensor activates alarms to prevent water in pipes from freezing, crucial for maintaining pools and hot tubs in cold weather. Additionally, cloud-enabled connectivity provides easy setting management, enhancing functionality and convenience.
The BL13X series pool controllers feature advanced capabilities for efficient pool management. They include a removable faceplate for easy maintenance, support for external dosing with two relays, and an integrated air temperature sensor to prevent freezing in cold weather. Users can also customize logging intervals to streamline data management.
