significant milestones in Thailand

In collaboration with our local partner J.D. Pools the CF Group member dinotec successfully implemented two major water sanitation projects in Thailand.

Firstly, a commercial pool spanning 25x16m was inaugurated in Ayutthaya, the former capital city, featuring on-site production of liquid chlorine using VoDes BlueWave electrochlorination technology, alongside precise measurement and dosing facilitated by an AquaTouch+ system.

Secondly, a luxurious 5-star hotel and apartment complex in Phuket, managed by Wyndham La Vita Rawai Phuket, saw the installation of multiple pools totaling over 2,700 square meters. These pools are meticulously maintained through 2x VoDes BlueWave electrochlorination systems and an AquaTouch+ setup for measurement and dosing, all provided by dinotec.

Both projects represent significant milestones in water sanitation, promising the enjoyment of pristine water for all patrons.

CF brand ambassador Eva André

At CF Group, we are thrilled to introduce Éva André as our new ambassador for our CF brand, whose passion for water and marine ecosystem preservation deeply resonates with our values and mission.

A Shared Passion for Water 💧
Eva is a talented freediver, the vice-champion of France in freediving with an impressive depth of 80m in constant weight. But beyond her sporting achievements, it’s her commitment to ocean protection that leaves a lasting impression. Eva embodies the spirit of determination and innovation that we cherish at CF Group.

Common Commitment to Sustainability 🌍
The collaboration between Eva and CF stems from our shared commitment to raising awareness about the importance of aquatic ecosystems and their preservation. Just as Eva pushes the limits of freediving, we strive to push the boundaries of innovation in water management and sustainable development.

Inspiring Future Generations 🌟
Eva passionately works to educate young people about marine biodiversity protection. As a CF Group ambassador, she will play a key role in our initiatives to educate and inspire future generations about the importance of water conservation and marine habitats.

A Partnership for the Future 🤝
We are proud to support Eva in her sporting and personal endeavors. This partnership underscores our commitment to investing in individuals who not only excel in their field but also contribute to a better world.

Welcome to the CF Group family, Eva! We look forward to diving into new challenges together and continuing to make a difference for our blue planet.

Purify water instead of wasting it

WaterRefresh S is a new product within the Planet Aquafair Green range. It addresses the common issue of cyanuric acid accumulation in pool water due to organic chlorine. This cyanuric acid, as an additional stabilizer reduces the effectiveness of the chlorine and leads to algae and bacterial growth despite chlorination. WaterRefresh S effectively removes cyanuric acid and thus ensures optimum water quality and chlorine effectiveness.

It is easy to use: the specially developed bags are placed directly in the skimmer basket. The slower filtration increases the effectiveness, with a binding capacity of around 157,000 mg per 1.75 liters. The recommended cyanuric acid levels for proper pool maintenance are between 25-40 mg/l.

WaterRefresh S summary:

  • Simple application in skimmer baskets
  • No need for water change
  • Enhances chlorine effectiveness
  • Recommended for 1-2 uses per season

“Purity” concept of CF group and Saint-Gobain

We are proud to announce the launch of our innovative project, codenamed “Purity”, developed in close collaboration with Saint-Gobain. This revolutionary concept of a ceramic membrane water filtration and analysis system represents a significant advance in pool water treatment technology.

The heart of the concept lies in its state-of-the-art ceramic membrane, which is able to filter out the smallest impurities and form a physical barrier against microorganisms.  This technical masterpiece significantly reduces the production of chloramines and trichloramines, thus improving the air quality in indoor swimming pools and guaranteeing high-quality water that respects the skin, eyes and respiratory tracts of bathers.

After proving its effectiveness in applications as diverse as salt water purification and filtration in the food industry, Saint-Gobain’s ceramic membrane finds a revolutionary application for private swimming pools in “Purity”.
