Sustainable pool technology

Leisure Pools is a market leader in highly sustainable monoblock pool technology. The zero-energy program is an integrated system that intelligently manages energy and communicates with the technology in your home.

Did you know that only 37% of the solar energy generated by photovoltaic panels is effectively used in the home, while the remaining energy is lost? This is because we often work outside the home during the day, resulting in relatively low energy consumption at those times. However, it is precisely during these hours that the most energy is produced by solar panels. At Leisure Pools, we saw this as an opportunity. We are now building pools in a new, energy-saving way.

We equip the pool with a fully integrated wireless system that uses the LoRa (Long Range) radio protocol. This system features a transmitter connected to the P1 port of the digital electricity meter and a receiver module installed in the control cabinet. This setup allows data from the digital electricity meter to be collected and processed. Combined with a heat pump, photovoltaic panels, and smart technology, the pool becomes a thermal battery. This way, you use less energy and can enjoy pleasantly warm water!

Optimal Energy Management

The system also takes peak energy consumption into account and optimizes energy usage:

  • With photovoltaic panels: The pool is heated when there is surplus energy, ensuring that no energy is wasted.
  • Without photovoltaic panels: The system uses energy at the cheapest times, such as during off-peak hours.

Innovative buffer

The technical setup features a simple digital control button with various options to heat your pool: as quickly as possible, ecologically, or, of course, zero-energy. The latter is what it’s all about.

Thanks to the wireless LoRa system, the pool equipment communicates with the smart meter. This allows surplus energy to be used to heat the pool water, turning your pool into a thermal battery.

Existing installations

A thermal buffer is created that raises the water temperature a few degrees above the desired level. When the outside temperature drops, the heat in the water is better retained. It is important to have a well-insulated pool to prevent heat loss. For optimal coverage, we recommend solar slats, which keep the water extra warm using their greenhouse effect. This technology can also be applied to existing pool installations.
