TRANSFORM YOUR WATER TESTING AND MONITORING

Since the introduction of HSG282 – Control of Legionella - in 2017, holiday parks have been grappling to balance the added revenue from hot tubs with the headache of Compliance and Risk Assessments. In the 8 years since its introduction the methods of testing and recording of results has changed very little with either test strips, photometer or Phenol Red/dpd tablets.

The results usually jotted into the book or sent to the maintenance manager by text. We believe that there are better, more accurate and cost-effective ways to carry out the daily testing and storage of that data. We believe that the answer to this is the Blue Connect Plus Water Analyser.

The Blue Connect is permanently plumbed into the pipework of the hot tub to ensure that it is not interfered with by guests. It will then take water quality readings up to 20 times per day, relay that information to the Blueriiot app, give alerts to staff when the tub is outside pre-set parameters and give corrective measures to ensure the correct treatment.

With professional support from the Virtual Pool Care website every tub on site can be monitored remotely.
The benefits of the Blue Connect are:
• 24 hr monitoring ensures consistent water quality
• Enables rapid response as staff can address unsafe conditions quickly
• Supports compliance with HSG282, enhances record keeping
• Reduces man hours spent carrying out physical tests.
• In the UK the Blue Connect is only available from Mainland Leisure.

SUPERIOR POOL WATER QUALITY

The allure of a sparkling, pristine pool can significantly elevate the appeal of a holiday park. Good water quality in a holiday park pool is not just about aesthetics; it is crucial for health, safety, and guest satisfaction. Ensuring that the pool water is clean and safe can directly impact the number of bookings, as families and individuals seek out locations where they can relax without health concerns.

Maintaining excellent water quality in a holiday park pool involves regular and precise monitoring. This is where the Lovibond® MD110 comes into play. The MD110 is a robust, user-friendly photometer designed for accurate water testing. It provides reliable results that are essential for maintaining the chemical balance of the pool, ensuring that harmful bacteria and contaminants are kept at bay.

Covering all the main pool water tests such as free & total chlorine, pH, total alkalinity etc the MD110 is also equipped with Bluetooth® connectivity, enabling seamless data transfer and storage, which is particularly useful for holiday park staff who need to keep detailed records of water quality. This ensures that any deviations from the optimal chemical balance are quickly identified and rectified, maintaining the pool’s safety and clarity.

Guests are more likely to book a stay if they are confident in the safety and cleanliness of the pool facilities. Positive reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations about the exceptional pool quality can drive higher occupancy rates. In contrast, reports of poor water quality can deter potential visitors and harm reputation.

By investing in reliable water testing equipment like the MD110, holiday parks can ensure their pools remain inviting and safe. High standards in pool maintenance reflect a commitment to guest welfare, setting a holiday park apart from the competition and fostering long-term customer loyalty.

Switching To Automatic Cuts Costs

Freshwater Beach Holiday Park are one of a tidal wave of swimming pools that are reaping the rewards of switching to automatic control.

Switching To Automatic Cuts Costs

Scott Condliffe at Freshwater Beach Holiday Park in Dorset was content that his previous swimming pool manager was running the outdoor pool in the most cost effective manner, despite the fact that the heat exchangers on the boilers sometimes lasted less than a season!

Four years ago, when Freshwater installed a new indoor pool facility and were obliged to follow current standards and legislation, he realised that there was more to pool water chemistry than black drums of liquid chlorine and split bags of sodium bisulphate on the plant room floor.

Although reticent initially at the capital cost involved with upgrading the outdoor pools, Freshwater now operate all their pools with automatic chemical controllers to constantly monitor water balance and disinfection levels. They are fitted with PAC dosing and Ultra Violet and they have a photometer to accurately measure and record the required pool water test results.
