Swimming Pool
A swimming pool is a source of enjoyment for many people. However, in order for a swimming pool to be an enjoyable place to play in the water, it must overcome the following challenges:
The presence of algae is a common issue in swimming pools. The water in the pool should be clear and blue. Algae can cause the water to become green and render the pool bottom slippery.
The presence of an excessive amount of chlorine. The primary purpose of chlorine is to prevent the growth of algae and other bacteria in swimming pools. However, excessive chlorine levels can cause irritation to the skin or eyes.
The pipelines are clogged with scale, which is preventing the pool from draining and causing irregular water circulation. This may result in the equipment being overloaded.
Corrosion is another potential issue. The iron pipes in the pool were found to be in a state of corrosion and cracking.
The water quality has deteriorated, resulting in a turbid appearance. It is not advisable to swim in water that is turbid.
It should be noted that implementing a strategy of frequent water changes to address the aforementioned issues may result in increased costs associated with water and manual cleaning. It is always the smart choice to take the right precautions. TETERADOM quantum water treatment equipment will ensure your swimming pool remains clear for longer.
CASE 1.
Public Swimming Pool
(Germany)
Pain Points:
In open-air swimming pools, the presence of rainwater and air introduces a greater number of microorganisms into the water, which can cause the water to turn green and result in the rapid growth of algae. It is therefore essential to change the water completely on a monthly basis.
Scale and rust are forming in the iron water pipes. It is therefore necessary to carry out maintenance and replace the pipes every year. Otherwise, there will be a low water flow, which will affect the speed of water injection. The outlet pressure of the pump will increase, which will increase the load and overload the equipment.
Effect of Use：
Following the application of the quantum ring to the water inlet, there was a notable increase in water flow rate after a period of two weeks. Following the installation of the quantum ring, the water in the pool remained unchanged for a period of two months. The water quality remained unchanged and did not turn green. The pH value and other indicators were within the required parameters.
Summarize
TETRADOM quantum rings have undergone rigorous testing to ascertain their efficacy in inhibiting algae and fungi in water. It is effective against bacteria that can cause human illness, including E. coli. The product prevents the growth of biofilms, which are gelatinous mixtures of bacteria, fungi, amoebas and other microorganisms. The product significantly increases the resistance of microorganisms to harsh environments and disinfectants, and biofilms are more difficult to completely remove. Consequently, despite the implementation of standard cleaning and disinfection procedures, microbial contamination frequently exceeds the required standards. TETRADOM quantum products leverage the power of quantum waves to influence the growth of these fungi, offering a unique and effective approach that can complement or even surpass the efficacy of traditional drugs.
CASE 2.
University of Ljubljana Faculty of Sport
(Slovenia)
Pain Points:
The faucets (shower heads), shower heads and valves have all experienced significant limescale build-up, necessitating the use of specialised tools for disassembly or replacement.
Additionally, the warm water pre-set valves are not functioning properly, despite replacement.
The swimming pool requires regular chlorination and soda ash shock treatments, which leads to high maintenance costs.
Tips：In regard to the potential hazards associated with elevated chlorine levels in swimming pools, it is important to note that prolonged exposure to such environments can result in significant irritation to the skin and respiratory system. Specifically, chlorine reacts with water to form hypochlorous acid, a substance with strong oxidising properties that can damage the protective layer of the skin, leading to dryness, itching and even allergic reactions like rashes. For the respiratory system, hypochlorous acid can irritate the respiratory tract mucosa, causing coughing, wheezing and other respiratory issues. In severe cases, it may even trigger chronic diseases such as asthma.
Effect of Use：
The issue of limescale on faucets and showerheads has been resolved, and the mesh cover can be easily manually removed.
The issue of pre-adjusting the warm water in the pool shower area has been solved by replacing the automatic regulating valve, eliminating the need for a large-scale renovation.
Following the installation of the ring, the old regulating valve has begun to function correctly, the water quality of the pool has improved, and the oxidation-reduction potential has stabilized above 800 millivolts.
The pool no longer requires shock chlorination or the addition of baking soda, due to the improved water quality.
Summarize
Quantum Rings are a cost-effective solution for swimming pool maintenance, with a significant reduction in chemical usage, leading to a reduced environmental impact. The installation and maintenance of Wellan 2000 Rings are straightforward, requiring no complex operations or frequent inspections, ensuring clear water. Wellan 2000 Rings also offer cost savings on pool maintenance and chemical disinfectants, contributing to a more environmentally friendly pool management.
CASE 3.
RAMADA
(USA)
Pain Points:
Encountered severe green algae and sediment issues on the sides of the swimming pool and spa center.
Requiring regular water changes and significant maintenance costs.
Effect of Use：
Since the installation of the Wallen 2000 ring, they have observed a significant improvement in the clarity of the water body. Algal growth has been effectively controlled, and the suspended particles in the water have been greatly reduced, making the water quality clearer and reducing the dependence on chemical treatment agents.
Summarize
The Wallen 2000 ring’s design incorporates advanced filtration technology that targets specific contaminants, ensuring that the water treatment process is both efficient and environmentally friendly. The system’s low maintenance requirements have also led to a reduction in operational costs。

CASE 4.
Hampton INN
(USA)
Mean point:
The swimming pool has a significant amount of algae growth and side attachments that require frequent cleaning.
There is a lot of scale buildup in the pipes, which affects the safety of the pipe system.
The cost of cleaning is high, and the frequency of cleaning is often.
Install
The 1-inch Wellan rings installed on my pool have performed exceptionally well, and we also installed a 3/4-inch ring on the boiler and a 2-inch ring on the main water supply line to maintain the good condition of the pipe system.
Effect of Use：
After installing the Wallen 2000 Ring, the pool water will no longer turn green, as it can inhibit the growth of algae and keep the water’s pH level at a normal level, and the scale in the pipes will gradually decrease.
Summarize
This is due to the unique design of the Wallen 2000 Ring, which not only prevents the accumulation of organic matter but also reduces the need for chemical additives. Moreover, the reduction in scale buildup extends the lifespan of the pool equipment and plumbing, saving both time and money on maintenance and repairs.
