BECSys5 controls with remote alarms
Parks and public-works staff receive alarms and can view chemistry from a phone or office, reducing after-hours uncertainty and unnecessary trips.
Markets served
Municipal Aquatic Centers
Municipal pools answer to residents, the health department, and the budget at the same time. Many are seasonal outdoor pools that must start up reliably each spring with part-time staff; others are year-round indoor centers with multiple bodies of water. New York's recent public-pool funding has put many of these facilities into design or construction, which is exactly when chemical control and feed decisions get made.
Operational pressures
What makes chemistry hard here
- Seasonal start-up with new or part-time operators who did not run the system last year.
- Public visibility: a closure or a chemistry incident is a news story, not just a maintenance ticket.
- Aging equipment rooms where the controller, feeders, and filters were all installed decades ago.
- Procurement rules and bid documents that lock in equipment before the operations staff are consulted.
- Small staffs covering multiple parks, with no one physically present at the pool after hours.
Buying triggers
When projects usually start
- NY SWIMS or other grant award for pool construction or renovation
- Capital plan line item for pump-room, filtration, or chemical system replacement
- A season with repeated closures or health-department findings
- Conversion away from gas chlorine or an aging liquid-bleach system
- Design of a new multi-feature aquatic center with several bodies of water
Relevant solutions
What typically fits
Recommendations are made after an assessment. These are the solutions most often relevant to this market.
Pulsar Precision for high-demand pools
Large outdoor pools and aquatic centers with heavy summer bather loads are among the best fits for calcium hypochlorite feed. We size it to actual demand, not to a brochure.
Specification support for funded projects
We help the municipality's engineer or aquatic consultant write a basis of design that operations staff can live with, and review approved-equal substitutions.
Seasonal start-up and shutdown service
Commissioning at opening, calibration during the season, and proper winterization of sensors and feed equipment.
Before you contact us
Helpful to have ready
None of this is required. It lets a specialist prepare a useful first conversation.
- Whether the project is funded and its current stage (study, design, bid, construction)
- Pool volumes and whether the facility is indoor, outdoor, or both
- Current disinfection method and controller
- Who prepares your plans (engineer or aquatic consultant)
- Staffing model during the season

Tell us where the project stands. We can support the design team before equipment is locked in, or assess an existing facility.
Municipal: frequently asked questions
Our pool renovation is funded by a state grant. When should we involve you?
As early as possible, ideally before the basis of design is set. That is when controller and feed decisions are cheapest to get right. We work with the municipality's engineer or aquatic consultant on selection, schedules, and sequence of operation.
Can seasonal staff realistically run a BECSys5?
Yes, with training. The controller's job is to hold setpoints and alert people when something is wrong; the operator still tests and records. We train at commissioning and can return for a refresher at season start.
Do modifications to our chemical system need health department approval?
In New York, additions or modifications to a public pool generally require plans prepared by a licensed engineer or architect and approval from your permit-issuing official before work begins (10 NYCRR 6-1.8). We coordinate with your engineer and local health department; final acceptance rests with them.
