6.3.5 Remote access from the local network or the
Internet
PoolManager's® graphical user interface is based entirely on the most
recent standard Internet (Web) technologies.
For that reason, it is also called a WebGUI:
• Web stands for Internet technologies
• GUI stands for graphical user interface
1 Web browser
The user interface is dis

server.
PoolManager's® WebGUi facilitates complete and entirely transparent
remote access from a local network (TCP/IP, Ethernet) or from the
Internet. Transparent remote access means that the user interface
looks exactly like it does on the PoolManager® and is operated
identically.
Certain restrictions in remote access are required only for security
reasons.
Remote access can be realised with any mobile device or PC that is
connected to PoolManager® via a network or the Internet and that runs
a standard browser. This prerequisite is fulfilled from the start by an
ever-growing number of modern systems.

10.2.2 Redox value
The redox value of the pool water represents electric potential that can
be measured using a corresponding electrode (redox electrode).
It is the measurement of the water's oxidation potential, and therefore
of current disinfection effectiveness.
The redox value is a sum parameter that can be influenced by
numerous substances in the pool water.
Oxidizing substances (disinfectants) raise the redox value
• Hypochlorous acid HOCl for disinfection with active chlorine
• Hypobromous acid HOBr for disinfection with active bromine
Reducing substances (contaminants) lower the redox value
• Inorganic and organic contaminants
• Chloramine, oils, carbamide, sweat, germs, bacteria, algae,
Due to these numerous influences, it is generally not possible to
determine the chlorine/bromine level in the pool directly from the redox
value measured. It is, however, possible to set the desired
chlorine/bromine value in the pool and then to calculate the associated
redox value.

leaves,etc.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Determining the correct redox value
Widely different redox
Free chlorine measurement and the redox signal measured are not
directly dependent upon the level of free chlorine, but rather influenced
only by the hypochlorous acid, which influences disinfection. If,
however, the portion of hypochlorous acid changes due to a
fluctuating pH value, then that will necessarily lead to a fluctuating
redox value. Stable and reliable disinfection is then no longer possible.
The so-called dissociation curve shows the correlation between pH
value and the share of hypochlorous acid HOCl among all free
chlorine. At a pH of 6.5, ca. 95% of the free chlorine is present as
HOCl. At a pH of, however, that number is only 30%.
If control measurements are performed using the DPD method, then it
is important to know that the DPD measurement is always performed
at a pH value of ca. 6.2. That value is attained with an integrated pH
buffer in the DPD reagents. Thus, a DPD measurement measures all
free chlorine independently of the actual pH value in the pool.

pool separately.
The redox value yielded for the desired chlorine/bromine value is
configured as a setpoint in PoolManager®. The control system ensures
that the redox value remains consistently on level with the configured
value.
As long as there are no significant changes in other influential
variables, the consistent redox value simultaneously provides for a
constant chlorine/bromine level in the pool, thereby ensuring reliable
disinfection.
10.2.3 Correlation pH value and disinfection
INFO
This section applies for the models PoolManager®
and PoolManager® Br only.
The basic prerequisite for reliable and stable disinfection with chlorine
and bromine is a consistent and optimally configured pH value in the
pool.
There are two significant grounds for this:
For high pH values over 7.5, the portion of free chlorine present as
hypochlorous acid (HOCL) sinks dramatically. Since, however, only
hypochlorous acid is effective for disinfection, disinfection
effectiveness reduces in the same dimension. Sufficient disinfection is
no longer ensured.

For disinfection with active oxygen, an main dosage is performed
automatically once a week in order to initially raise the pool's oxygen
content to a high level, thereby yielding a strong disinfection effect.
Then additional interim dosages are performed throughout the course
of a week as needed in order to maintain the oxygen level
continuously over the requisite minimum value that ensures safe and
reliable disinfection.
The volumes for the main dosage and the interim dosages are
automatically adjusted to the average pool temperature in order to
compensate for heavier product attrition at higher temperatures. This
function is called temperature compensation.

example, a dosing output of 10% means that the dosage pump runs
10% of the available time within a dosage cycle, and stands still during
90% of the time.
Example:
• The dosage cycle is set to 60 s.
• The current dosing rate is 10%.
The pump's running time will then be 10% of 60s, i.e. 6s.
The pump's off time will then be 90% of 60s, i.e. 54s.

11.1 Function
Measurement and control for the pH value, free chlorine/bromine, and
for the redox value are set-up as identically as possible.
PoolManager® continuously measures the pH value and the current
redox value in the pool and compares the current measured values
with the desired levels, which are configured as setpoints.
PoolManager® PRO continuously measures the pH value and the
concentration of free chlorine/bromine in the pool and compares the
current measured values with the desired levels, which are configured
as setpoints.
If there is a deviation between the current measured value and the
setpoint, a so-called rule deviation, then PoolManager® activates the
corresponding dosage pump (or other dosage equipment) in order to
adjust quickly and precisely.
11.2 Dosage rate
The controller continuously calculates the optimal dosing output in the
current situation. The farther the current measured value is from the
setpoint, the higher the configured dosing rate is.
Dosing rate is indicated as a percentage [%]. A dosing rate of 100%
means that the dosage pump is running continuously. The absolute
dosing rate in l/h is yielded from the pump type used and/or the
dosage hose used.
For lower dosing rates, the controller periodically turns the dosage
pump on and off within a predefined dosage cycle (e.g. 60 s). For
