Automatic Pool Control

The AquaStar Air 6-way backwash valve is connected to the Miniserver and the Air Base Extension or the Miniserver Go and is thus easily integrated into your customer’s project. The Miniserver enables simple configuration, intelligent control, monitoring and automation of the pool.

The best water quality
with zero effort

The functionality of the new Loxone AquaStar Air ensures that your pool has the very best water quality. Its functions include filtration, backwash, rinse, circulation, waste, winter position and ‘closed’.

Filter

The water drawn in by the pump is filtered through sand, which removes dirt particles. The cleaned water then goes to the inlet.

Backwash

This process involves reversing the flow of water so that the water presses into the sand from below. This removes the dirt, which is then rinsed out into the wastewater connection.

Rinse

This is activated after backwashing to ensure that the dirt does not make its way back into the pool. The sand resettles and a small quantity of water is drained via the wastewater connection.

Circulation

During circulation, the unit bypasses the filter, simply pumping the water back into the pool.

Waste

The ‘waste’ function drains the pool at the end of the season.

Closed

On this setting, none of the channels are open.

Loxone AquaStar Air is kitted out with numerous interfaces to allow for a comprehensive pool control system – you can control everything to do with your pool!

Measuring the temperature

Integrated inputs

There are two unused analogue inputs that could be used to install pressure sensors to measure the water level

Filter pump and drain valve

The AquaStar Air has its own terminal to allow connection to a filter pump as well as a safety valve for the drain.

Expanding the system

The connection between AquaStar Air and the Miniserver not only allows the pool to be automated. The system can be extended to cover numerous areas of application, e.g: counter current system, pool & garden lighting, the pool cover, etc.

Because of Loxone’s Air technology, you can easily integrate the Loxone AquaStar Air into your Loxone Smart Home and fully automate your pool controls. Even existing pool systems can be integrated without a problem.
