Another pool now under the care of a PoolWarden, this one in Newport Beach, CA.

NEW FEATURE: The external PoolWarden 3G cellular Internet modem now allows you to connect the PoolWarden to the Internet if there is no local network or you can get a public IP address from the IT department!

The PoolWarden is a water chemistry chemical controller that can control much more than just pH and sanitizer. The control of heaters and variable speed pumps in addition to the measurement and control of pH and ORP allows the PoolWarden to track monthly costs and savings if taking advantage of the energy management capabilities of the PoolWarden.

Standard features of the PoolWarden

  • Multi Pool: Ability to control two bodies of water with single controller.
  • Data Recording: Stores up to 8200 lines of data. At a 1 minute interval that is 5.5 days, at 15 minutes almost 3 months!
  • ORP: Oxidation reduction potential, 0 to 999 mV, calibration supported.
  • pH: 4.2 to 9.8, calibration supported.
  • Temperature: 32 to 120 Fahrenheit, calibration supported.
  • Sanitizer Control: Liquid, erosion feeder, suction side cal-hypo, and salt systems.
  • pH Control: Acid and base.
  • Aux relay Control: Heater, feed daily and alarm out.
  • WIFI Option: Connection to the local wireless network.
  • Internet Option: Connection to the Internet when there is no local access.
  • Ethernet Option: Connection to the local wired network.
  • Real Time Clock: Time and date including the day of the week are built into the PoolWarden.
  • Proportional Control: Supported on temperature, pH and ORP for reduced setpoint overshoot.
  • Display backlight: Press any button and the backlight will turn on making the display easy to read at night.
  • Flow measurement: Supports digital flow meters and flow switches.
  • Name: Give the PoolWarden a name to make it easy to tell which one is which.
  • Manual mode: Manually turn any relay on for an adjustable amount of time.
  • Disable relays: Disable all relays for up to one hour, can be handy when servicing the pool.
  • Total relay on time: Easy to see how long a relay has been on for the month.
  • Security: Includes a master password and service password.
  • Relay wizards: Simply select the type of control for each relay using the wizards.
  • Service PIN codes: Allows for tracking of then the PoolWarden was serviced and by whom.
  • Heater Energy Management: Adds a night time temperature setpoint that can be setup with different time for each day of the week. Lowering the temperature when the pool and spa are closed will help to lower heating costs.
  • Variable Speed Pumps: Allows for setting a time for each day of the week that the pump runs full speed, and when to run at low speed.
  • Monthly Chemical Usage: The data server tracks the amount of time each month that the relays are on. Dollar values can be assigned to display money spent on chemicals and energy used/saved on heater control.
  • Backup Sanitizer: Ability to assign sanitizer feed to the aux relays to provide a second sanitizer as a backup.

The PoolWarden is a single and two pool chemical controller with the ability to measure pH, ORP, temperature and flow. The single pool model includes 4 output relays and the dual pool model includes 8 output relays. Supports easy setup for various types of chemical control including salt systems, Cal-Hypo suction side, acid, base, heaters and more.

The optional WIFI, Ethernet, and Internet modules allow the PoolWarden to connect to the Internet with the following features:

  • Connect directly to the PoolWarden to view the measurements and make programming changes if needed.
  • The PoolWarden can send data to www.poolwarden.com where the data can later be viewed and printed
    • View the raw data
    • View the data graphically by day or month
    • Download the data in CSV format
    • Print out reports
    • Track when the PoolWarden was accessed via service pin code entry timestamps
    • Email alarm notifications
    • Track monthly chemical and energy usage.
  • PoolWarden software update. If ControlOMatic releases new software, it can be uploaded in seconds.

With the WIFI module the PoolWarden sends data to poolwarden.com data server for later viewing. ORP Is oxidation reduction potential and is a measurement of the waters ability to oxidize and keep the water safe. The data shown is from the ControlOMatic test pool and spa currently controlling monitoring only. Saltwater chlorine generators are providing the sanitizer, the spa has a ColorChlor and you can see the 3 hour cycle time in the ORP.
