CF-Group is making „green”

dinotec has done another step to make our world more save and “green”.

In the beginning of June 2023, together with our Joint Venture partner “dinoSol” and our Indonesian agent, we finalised the installation of 2x VoDes 10000 Twin electrolysis systems. These units complete our existing installation of 2x VoDes 2000 in a waterworks of a town called Pontianak. This production of 24kg Cl2 per hour is now taking care of the drinking water for the city. By this installation we replaced 95% of existing chlorine gas installation and improve the sanitation of drinking water for over 700.000 people.

They can now put their mind in rest because there is no more risk of a chlorine gas hazard and our machines are taking care of the sanitation for around 300MLD (million litres per day) of drinking water!

Responses to climate change

Climate change is accelerating and water-related problems are multiplying.

It is more necessary than ever to preserve this vital resource for our environment and our people. CF Group has long been committed to these issues and is developing sustainable solutions.

To meet this challenge, the French Pool Specialists Association (FPP) recently established a charter of commitment to encourage professionals to offer environmentally conscious solutions.

  1. reduce and optimize water consumption by offering solutions such as pond covers, cartridge filters, rainwater harvesting systems or water storage solutions during renovations.
  2. communicate and inform your customers by providing them with user and maintenance manuals and flyers on water conservation.
  3. Train and raise staff awareness of good water management practices and environmental change.

Let’s work together to protect water and the environment by adopting responsible and sustainable practices for our pools.
