For the successful measurement it is required, meticulously follow the steps shown. That is why it is recommended, several times to watch the video and to make personal notes. Have fun seeing and much success in measuring!

2017 … 2019 Development of a web server-based modular controller

In the employee relationship within the Dosatronic GmbH in the position of Technical Director, the development of a regulator in the slogan "INTERNET OF WATER" I initiated, continued and completed the first target status. Previously, the DOSATRONIC GmbH has a variety of other brands bought and sold as an OEM product. The biggest weakness of these devices was the lack of communication with decentralized systems. As a second weakness, the communication with the operator via the line-oriented display was identified. So, the goal was a modular controller with an embedded Web server, which performs the communication based on HTML. The features of this controller are described in detail.

Who can not calculate, takes Tichelmann*!

The system of the pool hydraulic Tichelmann is widespread and can often be used without special calculations. But what, if thepool is not rectangular or relative 1:2 was built or even designed with curves in the pool wall from architects? In the article, the newspaper of the Federal Association of German Schwimmmeister “Das Schwimmbad und sein Personal” edition 02/2019 a note is given to the methods of calculation.

From the craft of calibrating

From Craft calibration and the many pitfalls to these daily handles. In each water treatment facility of a public swimming pool needs to be done: Measuring and logging water chemistry. In previous articles, we have often discussed it, but always on the edge and not focused on the activities of calibration.

Tutorial Legionella

Tutorial Legionella. What do the legionella, where to find them. Which associations and authorities deal with it, which rules are set up. What can be done against Legionella and how can success be checked. Aerosols and dust as the source of infection with Legionella. It has taken many years, until people have noticed, that water does not exist solely in liquid and solid form. The idea, that water dissolved in air is present in the environment, brings many people already to the edge of imagination. Where to find aerosols, there is also found legionella. Few of these species in biologically film are dangerous to humans. However, a risk arises from the increase under favorable conditions up to a number, which weakened humans can not fend off with the natural systems.

Tutorial chlorine dioxide generator

Chlorine dioxide is used worldwide as a disinfectant and more important. This success is built: by the toxic effects on organisms, the high degree of independence from the pH of the water and the difference of the reaction by-products of chlorine dioxide to the reaction by-products of chlorine. A detailed justification for the use of chlorine dioxide should be read in newspaper articles to Filterverkeimung and in the tutorial to Legionella. The theme of the following lines is the on-site production (in situ) shown of chlorine dioxide in a generator.

Tutorial Probiotic displacement

What do biocides and antibiotics have in common? Their common goal is it, kill for humans dangerous microorganisms. We already know from school lessons, that the survival of a species closely related to their adaptability is. The concept of probiotic displacement takes a different approach: WITH microorganisms living instead of believing, that you can destroy them. One should be aware of: Bacteria belong to humans!

If the chlorine reaches its limits!

Contamination of sand filters (Biological contamination of the filters) is a growing problem, particularly through the use of activated carbon. The newspaper article offers solutions and ideas. Disinfection against Filterverkeimung. With a water treatment and disinfection after the letters of DIN everything is done? No! Where does the air from your air flushing? If you do not know it or you can smell during the flushing, then you should urgently and carefully read to the end.

Again, this post assumes, that flocculation and filtering are set optimally and work. The hints, which the Federal Environmental Agency in the notice: "Hygiene requirements for pools and monitoring" 2014 is about the quality of filtering given, we had in a previous text in the October 2016 implemented.

Let's start the INTERNET OF WATER!

Internet of things is literally on everyone's lips, and describes, such as the Internet in equipment has arrived. In our industry, you might think, IOT aviod the pools. We should change that together! Maybe it just needs a new slogan for it, as industry 2.0 or GroKo (german for big Coalition), in which the name is more powerful than the content. The chemical basis for disinfection have not changed significantly, we will address these fundamentals. How can a own Internet of water build up in each pool , but will play a major role in the following.

Functionality of a membrane-covered amperometric sensor

2- and 3-Elektode systems. A nozzle of the flow-through chamber with 6mm diameter approximately 15 millimeters distance brings a constant jet of fluid (symbolized by a blue arrow) with the disinfectant in a direction plumb to the membrane (1). The membrane allows molecules of the disinfectant mainly pass through . These molecules put a pathway in the electrolyte liquid (2) to the working electrode (3) back. The working electrode (3) is of precious metals (gold or platinum) so they do not corrode. The working electrode (3) is with a very small but accurate electrical voltage.

The advantages of membrane-covered amperometric sensors

If we talk about disinfection, then most people immediately think of "chlorine". Here is often overlooked, that chlorine in different forms occurs. While the right eye can be protected by "free chlorine" for infections, is the left eye may be the result of bounded chlorine and his children in the air. This bound chlorine is the reason for the bad taste and smell in the air - but has very little to do with the disinfection or our protection. Membrane-covered sensors can also detect this kind of chlorines.

The selection of membrane-covered amperometric sensors

Tutorial to choose Membrane covered amperometric sensors with detailed explanations of the parameters. In this table, you can select the correct sensor. In the footer of the table filter can be written, which restricts the number of rows. Please also note the informations, which will be displayed in the right columns by horizontal scrolling. Find out in the fields measuring size, Subgroup, Measuring range, Measuring water, Pressure, pH range, Temperature, Cross sensitivity, Reaction time, Connections, Downloads, about the existing possibilities and conditions.

Function of the cleaning device at the amperometric sensor

In the membrane-covered amperometric sensor, the working electrode is separated from the water and disinfectant by a most sensitive membrane. A cleaning device is not realizable. This membrane may be by substances, which are located in water, be contaminated. This contamination holds the molecules to be measured back and reduces the sensitivity of the measurement. Caused by the membrane, a membrane-covered amperometric sensor is sensitive to pressure. For some disinfectant there is the possibility, carry out the measurement without membrane. The missing membrane leads to a pressure stability of the sensor. At the same time this case, the working electrode is exposed, so that the surface can be cleaned mechanically.

2014 … 2017 Ion-specific nutrient management – dosing devices

Together with the Humboldt University in Berlin, the project was continued "development of a system for ion-specific control of the nutrition of crops in cultivation in greenhouses". The cooperation project focused on the development of a system for ion-specific control of the nutrition of crops in the greenhouse cultivation. This task was divided into 3 areas: 1. Ion-selective measurement of chemical parameters present in the nutrient solution of greenhouse cultures. 2. Determination of the setpoint values ​​for the chemical parameters as the difference between measured value and desired value-dependent growth. 3. Dosing of the individual components in the circuit.

Disinfection 02 Sterilisation

posted in: Terms 0

Sterilisation: process, be freed by the subjects of microorganisms. with sterilization, refers to sterilization and disinfection process, by the materials and articles of live microorganisms including their dormant stages (for example spores) be freed. The thus achieved state of materials and articles are called "sterile".

Free chlorine 00 Element

Chlorine is a chemical element with the symbol Cl and atomic number 17. In the periodic table of the elements it is in the 7. main group and heard so together with fluorine, Bromine, Iodine and astatine to the group of halogens. Elemental chlorine is under normal conditions in the form of a diatomic molecule Cl2 gaseous form.

Free chlorine 01a checklist chlorine gas systems

Checklist Chlorgas plants. The planning and implementation of a chlorine gas system requires the collaboration of various trades. The requirements concerning architectural areas, electric ranges, the water treatment plant, water supply, safety technology, fire protection and much more. From experience, a summary of the requirements of the insurance companies should be led.

Free chlorine 03 of calcium hypochlorite

The dosage of solid calcium hypochlorite Ca(ClO)2 it's easier … because it contains a higher proportion of free chlorine and does not disintegrate under favorable conditions. Calcium hypochlorite is the calcium salt of hypochlorous acid with the chemical formula Ca(OCl)2. After the gaseous and liquid products, the first solid chloro-product is treated here. Calcium hypochlorite Ca(ClO)2 according to DIN EN 900 is commercially available as an chlorine preparation in the form of tablets or granules. Roof DIN it contains at least 65 % Chlorine.

Free chlorine 04 of trichloroisocyanuric

The use of trichloroisocyanuric acid tablets … usually takes place there, where no measurement- and control system is available. Trichlorisocyanuric acid (completed: chlorinated isocyanurates) is an organic chlorine product, that works as a depot for free chlorine. The advantage of using trichloroisocyanuric, a permanent (Re-) dosage be unnecessary, is bought with significant measurement errors and mistakes.

Pool construction types 01 Common requirements

Welcome to the tutorial on the planning a swimming pool! This tutorial focuses not at small private pools on the own land or in the own house. It is aimed at architects and engineers, that the planning of a swimming- pool in public buildings. The subjects of this tutorial are: Overview of the available materials and designs, Advantages- and disadvantages of construction types … The tutorial is not completed.

Pool construction types 02 Theorems

1. Quotation DIN 19643, section 4: “For disinfecting, a germ killing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by four orders of magnitude was within 30 s used.” Even if you think, this sentence could not relate to the swimming pool: This theorem is the basis of any further consideration! This theorem describes the effect of the disinfectant chlorine at a concentration of between 0,3 and 0.6 mg/l. All other theorems are built up on this foundation. This theorem is also true for water treatment.

Pool construction types 03 Waterproof concrete

This construction is in Germany often as “White Tank” called. It is initially for the construction of basements (in groundwater) systems used. Bottom plate and outer walls of a closed tank made of concrete with a high water penetration resistance in accordance with DIN EN 206-1 and DIN 1045-2 manufactured. This concrete is also called water-impermeable concrete or waterproof concrete. Expertise and careful approach to planning and construction are key to a proper and even dense basement.

Pool construction types 04 sealed concrete

This design is suitable for the renovation of old concrete pools and for the new building. Unlike the “Weißen Wanne” (see post waterproof concrete) the concrete itself has no sealing function. Sealing is provided by a system on the inside of the pool. The components are matched to each other. This affects the adhesion to the subsoil and to each other. The coordination between the materials and the resistance to chlorine is secured too. Of course, the combination of the system is possible with waterproof concrete. The chemical attack on the concrete is made impossible by the seal.

2015 and 2016 Measurement and control of ozone in bottled water

In a district of Bangkok, there is the brewery "Pathumthani Brewery Co. Ltd.“. Since more than 10 Years, the brewery was built by a German company. The chief engineer of that time is now married in Bangkok and advises the royal company today. In addition to the beer money is made with water bottles. Just prior to packaging, the water is mixed with traces of ozone.

Where filter is on it is not always filter in it!

Where filter is on it is not always filter in it! ... or what should and can filter my filter? During the filtering the water flows through the filter layers from top to bottom. It acts in addition to forces from the fluid flow and the gravitation on the grains of sand. systems, which would like to outwit these forces, have after my suggestion major disadvantages. After the end of the filter runtime, So when the pressure loss in the filter to its economic limit is, the filter must be regenerated by flushing. This is done in the reverse direction. Subtleties to that later. For the sake of completeness: The distances between the filter rinses are dependent not only on the contamination but also on the growth rates possibly in the filter layer domestic bacteria!

A matter of internal friction

A good friend recently asked me this and complained, that various sales consultants of the major pump manufacturers could not help him. A seller fails then usually, if the customer does not know what he wants. Now I know this friend for many years and have experienced, that one have to have something of a soothsayer, befor his thoughts (dimensioning) guessable. Maybe I just can not only help him with this post.

2015 Disinfect well water for brewery with chlorine dioxide

In the highlands of Ethiopia was build 2015 probably the world's largest brewery company Dashen. In an otherwise very water-deficient environment wells were drilled, which produce several thousand cubic meters of water every day. 132 km or 150 Minutes away by car, outside the city Debre Berhan ("Mountain of Light"), next to the fountain a large area for the brewery was opened. Here traditional African ways of life met with European technology.

Sometimes it really depends on the size!

Thoughts on the raw water tank. Usually he leads a lonely existence, the raw water tank. No one wanted him, now the overflow channel makes it necessary. Previously, yet everything was so easy, now you have to make a head, when the gray box in the earth needs a new water. Sometimes, the box is also suspected, just drink the water away. The necessary "selection" of things, that arrive in the tank as litter of the overflow, not exactly stimulates to unbridled enthusiasm. It seems so simple: "A lot of (tank volume) helps a lot!“, as so often in life, it is then not so simple.

On the (Pool-) border looked

If we let it flow! Is there a reason, think about this little "surge water piping"? No later than, if you can convert these ideas into cash. Because of the surge of water transport in an overflow channel and a slope line is pure waste of money. For simplicity, we assume the basin from the last post and expect times with these values.

The miller his pool

It was once a miller, was poor, but he had a large outdoor swimming pool. Now it happened, that he came to speak to the King, and to make himself appear, he said to him,: “I have a pool, the sun and water can spin into gold.” The king said to the miller: “This is an art, pleases me well, if your planning office is so clever, as you say, so bring it tomorrow in my castle, I will put her to the test.”

The lazy river and its pitfalls!

The adventure channel is a very commonly used in public attraction experience pools. The rotating water flow makes visitors much fun. A common mistake is, because of the rotation, to have to limit the pool with a wall. The assumption, that a particularly large amount of water would flow into the overflow channel in this area, will be refuted in the article. Published in the magazine 07/2018 the newspaper of the Federal Association of German Schwimmmeister "The swimming pool and its staff".

2011 … 2012 Kükelhaus-school pool with hydraulic movable floor

The Kükelhaus School in Magdeburg, the building was 2009 built. For the children and young people a pool was designed with height-adjustable floor. As a base, a concrete construction should serve, which are lined in the system "Myrthapools" and with a height movable floor (Hubboden) should be equipped.

2011 Movable bridge over the competition pool in Saransk

Saransk is the capital of the Russian republic of Mordovia. Already 2010 the city has begun, to invest in infrastructure. Right next to the Ice Palace and the Sports Stadium, the palace of water sports was built. After the date of the opening was postponed due to delays in the other trades, was planned for December 2011 the completion of the bridge over the competition pool with a width of 25 meters. The pool itself is built with a length of approximately 51,50m, so that the end position of the bridge results in a pool length of 50,20m. With a displacement of the bridge to 25 Meter gets you 2 separate pools with a length of 25 Meter. These pools can be used differently in training and competition.

2011 Palace of water sports in Saransk, Troubleshooter for 30 days

Saransk is the capital of the Russian republic of Mordovia. Already 2010 the city has begun, to invest in infrastructure. Right next to the Ice Palace and the Sports Stadium, the palace of water sports was built. During the construction phase it became clear, that it would be difficult, meet the opening date. Because the inauguration of Russian President should be made, absolute deadline loyalty was required of all trades. My job was it, to guide the Russian technicians and to secure the appointment.

2009 … 2010 Hydraulic design and construction management of outdoor pools Tauern SPA

The village Kaprun, in the middle of the Austrian Alps 2010 expanded its tourism offer by the hotel thermal spa "Tauern SPA". The terrain, on which the Hotel Therme was built, is called alluvial. The structural engineer had to take this into consideration and has decided to, to let build the pools only at a time, when the largest forces already rests on the foundations. He has therefore chosen a variable and possibly weather-independent construction for the pools. The very precise requirements of architects have been implemented through a redesign of the overflow gutter and of the hydraulic connections. The stone-covered gutter saves energy, especially in the mountains.

2007 … 2008 Outdoor pool Meinerzhagen, the competition pool with sloping walls

The outdoor pool Meinerzhagen is located within view of the A45 Autobahn and had to struggle with the consequences. The abrasion of the tires sat down every year on the slide the pool wall. In a previous step, the water treatment had been converted to Vacuum Precoat Filtration. The dimensioning of the circulating flow done for cost reasons and because of the good filling water quality on 50% compared to DIN 19643. This places special demands on the hydraulics of the pool. The pool in the old state had a deep overflow channel and below the floor level slopped walls. Unfortunately, the old overflow reservoir had been dimensioned a bit too small – or the overflow channel and the gradient tubes too large. Therefore, this system had to be changed with a smaller channel and replaced with pipelines in the right slope.

2006 … 2007 Outdoor pools Oberreichenbach, Pools and piping of the pools

The district town Reichenbach im Vogtland has modernized the old outdoor pool group. It created a diving pool, a competition pool, an adventure pool and a children's pool. In the original planning was several pools of stainless steel, however, the price was able to convince the representatives of the city and the architect with my Italian client's system. To ensure that all services contract could be offered, various new developments and motivation of internal staff were required.

1994 … 1995 Leisure- and adventure-pools "Sumpfmühle" (Swamp mill) Hetzdorf

The leisure and adventure pool "Sumpfmühle" Hetzdorf was built on the site of a dammed mill pond. Before the upper part of the lake was dammed. This part was used as a drinking water reservoir and the stream fed into a tube passing the object. So the pools are on a swampy basement. Originally, a part of the object should become reconsidered later and can be used throughout the year. From this design out the divided form of water areas due. The directly adjoining hotel "Sumpfmühle" and the object itself live in symbiosis.
