Ipool Net Controller
The network controller to control the pool technology. The Ipool Net Controller network controller is able to control and adjust all the pool technology elements. The Ipool Net Controller can be adjusted and controlled by means of the perfectly designed user-friendly application via the internet. In case of an internet failure, it is possible to establish connection to the controller directly through the WIFI Direct. The Ipool Net Controller is intended for the DIN rail mounting directly into the switchboard.
Basic Functions.
The Ipool Net Controller has capacity for 6 preset basic pool operation modes.
OFF All is switched off.
ON The circulating pump is switched on at speed 2 (variable pumps can be set to 3 speeds) and heating switched off.
COMFORT This mode is intended for routine pool operation when the priority is to achieve the required temperature. This mode alow to preset four filtering periods in the day when you can preset the pumping power and select if to use the overflow or the bottom drainage.
PARTY This mode switches the circulating pump at the speed 2 and heating the required temperature. This mode has no time functions.
SMART The same as COMFORT mode together with SMART Heating function.
WINTER To enable this function is necessary to install the outdoor thermometer.
- If outdoor temperature drops below 0 °C the circulating pump is switched on.
- After 15 minutes system check the water temperature .
- If the water temperature is still below the preset freezing temperature (e.g. 4 °C), the relay switchesthe heating on.
- After the preset temperature is reached, the circulating pump stops. Next test of pool temperature and the circulating pump start will follow in 6 hours.

Settings
The screen serves to set the Ipool Net Controller and characteristic of each mode including the filtration timer.
SMART Heating
Heating Time AdjustmentThis function allows to adjust time of heating operation. This is particularly useful for switching on the heat pumps that have higher efficiency during the day time when outdoor temperature is higher.
Adjustment of Temperature above/below which Heating is in OperationThis function allow you to customize the pool heating and achieve the highest possible efficiency of the heat pump. “I heat just when the outdoor. temperature is higher than ……, or I heat just till the outdoor temperature reaches …… .” The high-accuracy electronic thermometer is used for water temperature measurement. It should be installed to the inlet pipe comming from the pool. Never install it downstream of the heat exchanger. Significant distortion of temperature would occur. When temperature drops below the required value, the relay No. 1 switches on the heat source (heat pump, electric heating, gas boiler circulating pump).
Temperature Control Takes Priority over Filtration ControlIf you select the temperature control to take priority over the filtration timer, heating, as well as the circulating pump, will be in operation even after the adjusted time of filtering. The circulation pump will stop after the required temperature is achieved. It will restart at next preset period of the timer.
Measuring the level and Automatic water Refilling
The water level is measured by the pressure-dependent level sensor. This allows very easy installation by inserting the sensor into the storage reservoir or skimmer. Water Level is controlled at four adjustable height levels that are easily entered in centimetres. The level sensor cable must not be broken anywhere in order to prevent the balancing tube that is a part of the cable from being clogged.
OVER – too much water in the overflow tank
When this level is reached:
- The circulating pump starts
- If the automatic filter washing is enabled, one filter washing cycle starts.OK – required level Refilling stopsON – level at which pool refilling starts after 10 seconds during which the level is permanently below this value in order to prevent oscillatingSmall amount of water
The circulating pump, as well as heating, will be disabledMaximum Refilling TimeThe maximum refilling time acts as protection for case of any failure of the level measuring. This function will switch off the pool refilling after the adjusted time has elapsed regardless of a level sensor signal.
Automatic Filter Washing
Automatic Filter WashingThe automatic washing function ensures the filter washing on a regular basis in the preselected intervals. To enable this function is necessary to use the automatic 5-way BESGO valve. Its moving controlled by the relay No. 4 switching on/off. When the relay switches on, the BESGO valve is activated and moved to the required position by the action of pressure water or air. See the BESGO manual.
Overflow/Bottom Switching OverTo use this function, it is necessary to install the 3-way BESGO switching-over valve. It is possible to make a decision whether water shall circulate through the overflow or the bottom drainage. If a closed blind control signal appears at the (logic) input No. 5, the relay No. 5 closes and the overflow is switched over to the bottom drainage.
Variable-speed Pump ControlThe Ipool Net Controller with the additional ASIN Pump module enable to control the circulating pumps with a SPECK and PENTAIR variable drive. Power of such pump (1 or 2) can be selected at preset periods in individual modes. In case of backwashing, the pump is running at speed 3. Individual speeds 1, 2, 3 are adjusted directly on the pump according to the respective pump manual.
Solar
SolarThe Ipool Net Controller allows control of the solar heating. To enable this function is necessary to install the outdoor thermometer to the solar collector. At the preset temperature of the solar collector, e.g. 40°C will solar system circulating pump (relay No. 6) as well as the filter pump start on. This start takes absolute priority over other settings in order to prevent the solar collector from being overheated.
