Grundfos and Alldos

Grundfos offers a full range of pumps and pumping solutions with more
than 170.000 product variants to choose from. Since five years, Grundfos
is also involved in the dosing area. The acquisition of Alldos, a German
company, provides Grundfos with a wider product range. Alldos has almost
40 years of experience in the dosing area and therefore great amount of
know-how in this market segment, especially in disinfection technology.

Chlorine gas - efficient and economic disinfection

The chlorine gas disinfection system is up to any situation. Our products
and systems are designed for safe functioning and a long service life. They
comply with the highest safety standards.
All our system components are perfectly coordinated with each other. If
they are used as a complete package, they function in synergy with original
spare parts and know-how of our service team to ensure safe and reliable
processes.

Hypochlorite - safe disinfection for small pools

Sodium hypochlorite is used mainly in water circuits where it is not expedi-
ent to use chlorine gas due to low circulation rates - in small pools, diving
basins or whirlpools for example. In the past, complex design measures
have been necessary to ensure trouble-free dosing of the degassing
medium sodium hypochlorite. We have solved this problem through our
innovative Plus3 system which is also ideal for very small capacities

Advantages of Conex and Aquaserver

• Maintenance-free measuring electrodes and cells
• Precise chlorine measurement by hydro-mechanical electrode cleaning and automatic pH value compensation
• Perfect pH measurement with temperature compensation
• Permanent display of all measuring parameters (disinfection, pH, redox an temperature)table measurement
and control even if the water flow varies
• Sample water recycling pressure-proofed up to four bars
• Permanent monitoring of electrode cleaning
• No overdosing thanks to sensor control and safety functions which ensures high system safety
• Very convenient operation, calibration and error monitoring thanks to easy and fast menu-operated plaintext
operator prompting

Perfect measurement
and control

The individual components fo the disinfection systems can only

work to optimum effect if they are controlled by compatible,
higher-level electronics. Grundfos and Alldos offer a complete
range of measuring systems for all kind of disinfection installa-
tions.

Measure and control with Conex or Aquaserver

With those two systems you can measure the chlorine diox-
ide concentration, the pH value, the temperature and with
Aquaserver DIP also the ORP in your swimming pool and and use
this information to control the chlorine content and the pH value
of the swimming pool water.

The Aquaserver DIP and Conex DIA-2 measuring and control are
very easy to operate, only four operating keys are needed to con-
trol and change the selection menu.

To accurately measure the chlorine content and pH value in

swimming pool water, the compact systems combine two power-
ful componenents – the pressure-proof chlorine measuring cell
and the Aquaserver DIP or Conex DIA-2 amplifiers.

The measuring cell continuously determines the exact content

of disinfection agent and simultaneously measures the pH value.
Combined with Aquaserver DIP, it also checks the redox potential
according to DIN 19643.
