Partnering with Greenline at Leicester City FC
SEKO’s partnerships with water-treatment specialists help to improve residential, commercial and industrial water quality and protect people the world over.
In the UK, we’ve worked on a number of projects with Greenline Water Treatment Services, experts in closed systems, cooling towers, steam boilers, pretreatment and recycled water technologies.
A recent Greenline collaboration saw us develop a solution for removing and preventing legionella in the water supply at the King Power Stadium, home of English Premier League team Leicester City FC.
After visiting site along with Greenline Technical Director Aaron Green, SEKO UK’s Water Treatment Sales Manager Jody Bowman recommended a bespoke integrated dosing unit to inject 2% hypochlorous acid into the supply.
The panel-mounted system was designed with SEKO’s trusted Kontrol 65 single-parameter controller and Tekna solenoid-driven pump. These fully compatible products work in harmony, dosing with exceptional precision and consistency to eradicate biofilms and keep the system free of legionella.
Kontrol 65 is part of SEKO’s Kontrol Series, a dedicated family of instruments for single and multi-parameter measurement across every water-treatment process. Click here to find out more about this comprehensive range.
Multi-product solution for a London splash park
Recreational water specialist Fountaineers recently turned to SEKO when they required chemical dosing and parameter management solutions as part of plant room upgrades for a west London splash park.
SEKO’s decades of experience developing pumps and controllers for the watertreatment sector made us the natural choice for this project, which was located at Kensington Memorial Park.
Maintaining water quality in public facilities such as splash parks is essential for protecting visitors, and Fountaineers commissioned SEKO to deliver equipment for the dosing of chlorine and monitoring of pH and temperature.
SEKO UK’s technical team visited site to carry out a full assessment of the application and recommended a combination of systems: PoolFeeder M, Kontrol 800 and Tekna.
PoolFeeder M is an integrated dosing station for use with calcium hypochlorite tablets, which are dissolved at the point of dosing to protect staff from the handling of strong liquid chlorine and avoid the pollution risks associated with its storage.
Kontrol 800 is an intelligent multiparameter instrument capable of up to six simultaneous measurements via its user-friendly interface, with features including data logging and electrode quality monitoring.
Tekna’s function in this application is the precise dosing of pH minus, a liquid acid concentrate used to reduce pH value and an essential element for this process.
Thanks to the quality and reliability of SEKO’s industry-leading products, the park’s operator can rest assured that splash park users always enjoy safe, healthy water conditions.

Tekna integrated into portable chlorination units
SEKO and innovation go hand in hand, and we have recently been working with a water hygiene specialist on the development of creative portable chemical dosing units featuring our Tekna Series solenoid-driven pumps.
These units are used for domestic water system commissioning or for reactive internal chlorination and disinfection, where they are easily attached before the pulse rate is set and disinfectant drawn to the desired outlets.
Tekna is built into a durable casing for both portability and protection and offers a flow rate of 5l/h at 8 bar and 3l/h at 10 bar with a stroke rate of 160 strokes/minute – perfect for engineers and technicians working on residential projects.
Whether fixed or mobile, transform your application with Tekna’s incredible chemical dosing precision and consistency. Click here for more information.

Simplifying surface cleaning
SEKO’s strong presence in the food and beverage sector continued recently as we partnered with cleaning specialist Zep to provide a bespoke chemical dispensing solution for an eatery in Hilversum, Netherlands.
At the popular t’Pandje café, staff were manually dosing cleaning products into spray bottles and mop buckets. As well as exposing employees to harsh concentrated chemicals, this approach meant that dosing was inaccurate and effective results could not be guaranteed.
Having supplied our ProMax chemical dilution systems to Zep for many years, the SEKO Benelux team was delighted to once again deliver a customised unit for the automatic dispensing of multi-purpose, floor and glass cleaners as well as degreaser.
By diluting and delivering precise, consistent volumes of cleaning solution, ProMax allows the operator to avoid unnecessary chemical wastage while ensuring surfaces are always properly cleaned.
Plus, with ProMax’s customisation option simplifying product selection, cleaning is performed quickly while dispensing errors are reduced – essential in this fast-paced food-service environment.
