Centurio Pool Has It All Under Control
2021 marks ten years of CertiDos and to mark the anniversary, Centurio Pool – an innovative and allencompassing multiparameter pool and spa controller – has been released. Certikin has worked closely with the manufacturer, EMEC, and they have listened to feedback from trade customers and end users. The product is very much the culmination of these conversations. Every time a customer told Certikin they would like a touch screen or remote connectivity option, or more input channels, or that it would be good if their controllers could control back-washing or pool lights and covers, they were taking note, and the result is the Centurio Pool. Equipped with a Linux operating system, a highperformance ARM A5 microprocessor and a large 4” LCD colour touchscreen, Centurio Pool offers everything you need to manage the most complex water leisure system. The ingenious controller can simultaneously manage up to ten channels to read the following parameters: pH, free chlorine, combined chlorine, active free chlorine, total chlorine, conductivity, ORP, NTU, tank levels and pool water level. For each channel, it has two digital setpoints (on/off), two proportional setpoints (IS), 1 mA output setpoint and one temperature setpoint; you can also set six timers with a maximum of ten daily schedules each. It can also be set to work with pH priorities and can control flocculant output, shock chlorination and backwashing, pool covers, heating and lights. It is possible to save and restore different configurations of set up. In short, there is little that cannot be achieved with this controller. Centurio Pool can be connected to the internet via Wi-Fi, GSM or ethernet and remotely controlled via Ermes, the online control system designed by EMEC. It is also equipped with the MODBUS serial communication protocol (optional) which allows connection with other devices within RS485 networks too.

AstralPool Introduce New Stainless Steel LumiPlus Option AstralPool LumiPlus, one of the most comprehensive ranges of underwater LEDs for public, commercial and residential pools in the market, has launched its latest new feature: a stainless steel finish for the LumiPlus FlexiNiche product. Available in AISI 316-L stainless steel, this new model makes it possible to choose between fitting the whole of the projector’s body in stainless steel, for greater resistance and durability, or if preferred, to opt for the ABS alternative with a stainless steel faceplate. Comprising an LED, electronic components of the highest quality and manufactured entirely in the EU to European quality standards, the whole range of LumiPlus Flexi projectors is characterised by its great adaptability to any type of pool – both new-build and existing liner or concrete pools – and may be fitted in a niche with a diameter of 180 to 230 mm, on the surface or to a nozzle. With greater energy efficiency, the LumiPlus range delivers:
• High performance spotlights with built-in top quality lighting (TQL) technology. • Enhanced energy efficiency for pools thanks to the use of LumiPlus DC lamps and spotlights run from a direct current power source (24 V DC). • Unbeatable control of all products in the range following the addition of the Internet of pools (IoT) concept called Fluidra Connect. • IP68 protection rating. • Stainless steel solutions for greater resistance and durability of the underwater lighting system and a premium quality finish for pools. Only for the FlexiNiche model. Ideal for public, hotel and residential pools in the V2 and V1 versions, respectively, the new LumiPlus Flexi system is an easy way to illuminate or renew a pool’s lighting. All projectors come with a 2.5m power cable. AstralPool UK 01329 514000 www.astralpool.co.uk
