Water Quality in Pools + Spas
Reliable, automated water treatment solutions for pools and spas, helping operators maintain safe, compliant water quality with ease.
Customer | Pool + Spa | Hotels | Universities | Public Facilities
APPLICATION
Commercial pools, public recreation centers, hotels, and spas are required to maintain precise water chemistry to ensure bather safety and meet regulatory standards. Key water quality parameters, especially pH and disinfectant levels (chlorine or bromine), must be continuously monitored and controlled to prevent health risks, equipment degradation, and facility closures.
PROBLEM
Despite the critical nature of water chemistry, many facilities still rely on manual test kits and periodic adjustments. This approach leaves room for human error, delayed responses, and inaccurate record-keeping. Changes in bather load, sunlight, and environmental contamination can cause rapid swings in pH or sanitizer levels. These fluctuations can reduce disinfectant effectiveness, lead to eye or skin irritation, and result in failed inspections or costly shutdowns.
SOLUTION
Walchem’s integrated water treatment solutions offer a reliable, automated approach to pool and spa water quality management. Our systems are used in:
• Municipal pools and recreation centers
• Hotel and resort pools
• Waterparks and therapeutic spas
• School and university aquatic facilities
Our Intuition-6 and Intuition-9 controllers monitor and control pH, ORP, conductivity, and more. Features include customizable alarms, data logging, and full remote access through Walchem Fluent. This enables operators to check status, receive alerts, and make adjustments from a phone or computer, minimizing downtime and allowing quick corrective actions.
Walchem has a full range of water quality sensors including.
Free Chlorine Sensors (Amperometric): Real-time measurement of free available chlorine without the need for costly reagents. Ideal for facilities looking to improve response time and reduce chemical usage
ORP Sensors: Offer a cost-effective proxy for sanitizer effectiveness, especially in facilities that use stabilized chlorine (with cyanuric acid). Rugged designs with flat-surface electrodes reduce fouling and maintenance.
pH Sensors: -grade WEL series probes designed for durability in high-use pool and spa environments. Accurate pH control is essential to keep disinfectants effective and water comfortable.
Integrating a Walchem E-Series dosing pump allows our controllers to automatically dispense pH adjusters or sanitizers based on sensor readings, ensuring continuous compliance without the guesswork. Walchem E-Series pumps offer precise, reliable chemical dosing with a compact footprint and industry-leading energy efficiency. Built with rugged, chemical-resistant materials, they’re ideal for continuous operation in harsh pool and spa environments.
Walchem systems help reduce operational labor, improve consistency in water quality, and support facilities in meeting local and state health regulations. Whether retrofitting an existing facility or equipping a new installation, Walchem provides a scalable, easy-to-use solution that protects both your patrons and your reputation.
