Dosing Systems for Swimming Pools

Choosing the Right Chemical Dosing Pump

When it comes to maintaining your pool’s water quality, selecting the right chemical dosing pump is crucial.

At Go Aqua UK, we understand the importance of precise chemical dosing to ensure a safe and enjoyable swimming experience.

We offer advanced chemical dosing systems for swimming pools, including peristaltic, diaphragm, piston, and solenoid pumps. These systems ensure precise and consistent chemical dosing, essential for maintaining your pool’s water quality.

Peristaltic Pumps

Description: These pumps use rollers to compress a tube, pushing the chemical through the system. They are known for their simplicity and ease of maintenance.

Best Use Cases: Ideal for small to medium-sized pools and for applications requiring precise, low-volume dosing. Suitable for chlorine, pH adjusters, and flocculants.

Considerations: Great for less frequent dosing and when using chemicals that are less corrosive.

Diaphragm Pumps

Description: Utilising a diaphragm, these pumps create a vacuum to draw chemicals into a chamber and then push them out. They are highly accurate and durable.

Best Use Cases: Suitable for medium to large pools, especially where high precision is needed. Ideal for dosing acids, alkalis, and other aggressive chemicals.

Considerations: Suitable for frequent dosing and can handle a wide range of chemical viscosities and corrosiveness.

Piston Pumps

Description: These pumps use a piston to draw and discharge chemicals, providing high pressure and accuracy.

Best Use Cases: Best for large pools and industrial applications where high pressure dosing is required. Suitable for all types of chemicals, including those with high viscosity.

Considerations: Excellent for continuous, high-frequency dosing but may require more maintenance due to their complex mechanisms.

Solenoid Pumps

Description: Operated by an electromagnetic solenoid, these pumps offer precise control and are often used in automated systems.

Best Use Cases: Perfect for pools of all sizes with automated dosing systems. Commonly used for chlorine and pH control.

Considerations: Ideal for frequent dosing and for use with automated systems that require precise, consistent dosing.

Key Considerations for Choosing the Right Pump

Pool Size

Larger pools will require pumps with higher dosing capacities and potentially more robust mechanisms to handle increased chemical demand.

Type of Chemicals Used

The chemical’s corrosiveness and viscosity will influence the choice of pump. Diaphragm and piston pumps are more suitable for aggressive chemicals, while peristaltic pumps are better for less corrosive options.

Frequency of Use

For frequent dosing, a more durable and precise pump like a diaphragm or solenoid pump is ideal. For less frequent applications, a peristaltic pump might be sufficient.

Automation

If you have an automated pool management system, solenoid pumps offer excellent integration and control capabilities.

Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Using a Chemical Dosing Pump

Maintaining the right chemical balance in your swimming pool is crucial for keeping the water clean, safe, and enjoyable. A chemical dosing pump is an invaluable tool for this purpose, but improper use can lead to issues that affect both the water quality and the longevity of your pool equipment. Here’s a guide to the top 5 mistakes pool owners and operators make with their dosing pumps – and how you can avoid them.

  • Incorrect Pump Sizing
  • Neglecting Regular Maintenance
  • Using Incompatible Chemicals
  • Incorrect Calibration
  • Overlooking Safety Precautions

Selecting a dosing pump that’s too large or too small for your pool’s needs can lead to inaccurate dosing, resulting in cloudy water, imbalanced pH levels, or ineffective sanitation.

How to Avoid: Determine your pool’s volume and the required chemical dosage before choosing a pump. Use sizing tools or consult a pool professional to ensure you select a pump that matches your pool’s specific needs.

Skipping regular maintenance of your dosing pump can lead to clogs, leaks, and inconsistent chemical dosing. Over time, this can cause serious water quality issues and damage your pool equipment.

How to Avoid: Establish a routine maintenance schedule that includes checking for leaks, cleaning components, and replacing worn parts. Regular maintenance ensures your pump operates smoothly and effectively.

Using chemicals that aren’t compatible with your pump’s materials can cause corrosion, leaks, and even equipment failure, which can be costly to repair.

How to Avoid: Always ensure that the chemicals you’re using are compatible with the materials in your dosing pump, including seals and tubing. Check compatibility charts or consult with a pool supply expert to avoid damage.

An improperly calibrated dosing pump can lead to over-chlorination or under-chlorination, making the pool water unsafe or unpleasant to swim in.

How to Avoid: Regularly calibrate your dosing pump based on the manufacturer’s guidelines. If your pool water chemistry seems off, it’s a sign that recalibration may be necessary.

Neglecting safety measures when handling pool chemicals and operating dosing pumps can lead to hazardous situations, including chemical burns or inhalation of toxic fumes.

How to Avoid: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling pool chemicals. Ensure that all safety features, such as shut-off valves and alarms, are operational and follow safe storage practices for chemicals.
