BL-131-20 Automatic Pool and Hot Tub Controller

Measure and control pH and free chlorine levels in your pool or hot tub.

BL-13X series controllers utilise the ORP or REDOX method to accurately measure the free chlorine level in the water. pH and free chlorine are monitored through the attached probe, and pH is first dosed before ORP to reach a set limit, achieving effective sanitation while reducing the overuse of chemicals.

This pool controller has a range of advanced features, including a comprehensive alarm system for measurements out of a pre-defined scope and customisable proportional control to suit the size and requirements of different pools, hot tubs and spas. All information about dosing and water measurement is displayed on a clear LCD screen.

BL-132-20 Automatic Pool and Hot Tub Controller

Measure and control pH and free chlorine levels in your pool or hot tub.

The BL-123-20 has all of the same features as the BL-131-20, with the addition of a connection to the Hanna Cloud via ethernet, providing a new way to access and view key information or events via a smartphone or tablet.

Measurements, trends, history, device settings, alarms and messages are all displayed on a personal Dashboard, providing continual information as the instrument measures and controls the process.

HI-971044 Pool Line Portable Photometer

For pH, alkalinity, free and total chlorine and cyanuric acid.

Is digital testing easier for pools and hot tubs?

Digital testing is an easy solution for monitoring the quality of your pool water or the water in your hot tub. Unlike test strips where you have to guess the colour shown, digital testing provides precise, clear results on a screen. This accuracy makes it easy to dose your pool water appropriately.

Does testing pool water make it safer?

Measuring the water in your pool or hot tub does make it safer by providing the information you need to correctly dose your water. Sanitation above recommended levels may cause irritation to bathers’ skin and eyes, while chlorine that is too low can lead to pathogens in the water, such as Legionnaires’ disease in hot tubs. Using a digital tester for pools and hot tubs to monitor pH, chlorine, and other vital parameters can make the water safer by providing the information you need to make changes to water chemistry.

How often should you test pool water?

The frequency of testing depends on several factors, including whether your pool or hot tub is personal or used by guests in a business. The volume of bathers also affects how often you should test. Regular hot tub and pool testing is vital to ensure your sanitation is within the correct range. For advice and guidance on the ideal level of monitoring for your pool, or to discuss an automated system that does the work for you, get in touch with our Pool Line experts today.

Do you need to measure the chlorine in pools?

Measuring the chlorine in swimming pools and hot tubs is an important part of maintenance, ensuring that sanitation levels are within a suitable range to keep the water clean. Using a pH tester or chlorine photometer is an accurate and reliable way to monitor this parameter. An automatic pool doser will both measure the sanitation in your pool and dose the water to consistently stay within a set range for optimal cleanliness.

What other parameters should be measured in pools or hot tubs?

Total Hardness and Total Alkalinity are two additional important parameters to measure in hot tubs, pools and spas. Correct levels of alkalinity prevent swings in pH, while total hardness, or calcium hardness, can cause scaling of heaters, pumps, jets and pipework if too much is present. 

For outdoor pools and hot tubs, it’s also important to measure cyanuric acid. This chemical is utilised to prevent chlorine degradation from UV light, but too high an amount can stabilise free chlorine and lead to reduced sanitation. Hanna’s range of pool photometers offers an accurate and reliable way to measure these parameters.

Do automatic pool testers dose the water?

Hanna’s BL controller range of hot tubs and pools provides a completely automated experience for pool sanitation. These automatic pool controllers both measure and dose the water, ensuring that levels are within a specified range for optimal water chemistry levels. Cloud connectivity to the Hanna Cloud is also available on specific models, providing a completely hands-free process following installation. Browse the BL series of controllers online today.

Are reagents required for pool testing?

Reagents are utilised for the testing of pool and hot tub water with Hanna’s range of photometers, such as the HI-971044 multiparameter pool meter. These reagents are available directly online, with next-day delivery for all in-stock products. Digital testers do not require reagents and can be dipped directly into the water to take measurements. 

Can Hanna pool testers help with compliance with HSG282?

HSG282 legislation requires stored records for the sanitation and pH levels of hot tubs. Hanna’s digital hot tub testers and photometers are an ideal solution for complying with HSG282, providing the accurate electronic results necessary for clear reporting. Learn more about HSG282 and hot tubs here.
