transformation is lack of clarity about the pay-off. Companies want to know
that they are getting something beneficial from investment in new technologies.

transformation happen.
DIGITAL POOLTECHNOLOGIES - In use over 40 years, since the 1970’s at
large commercial pool facilities, then moving to small hotels and condominiums

automation has now advanced platforms for complete pump room control and
communications to maximize power, water and chemical savings. Applications
provide centralized remote monitoring of single to multiple pools and water
features from one flat screen that may be located anywhere in the world. They
are available for use by multiple users simultaneously at multiple locations, via
desk tops, portable smart phones and tablets all using wireless technology.
