01. Master Water Chemistry
Mastering water chemistry is the first step towards savings
Balanced water saves money
Clean water isn’t just about appearance.
When your pool’s chemistry is balanced, chlorine lasts longer and works more effectively — reducing pump runtime, chemical use, and costs..
TED makes it simple
TED’s Water Quality Index helps you track your pool’s chemistry and provides clear, simple recommendations to keep water crystal clear — no guesswork needed.
TED AI takes it further
TED AI learns how your pool behaves and automatically prompts you when testing or adjustments are needed — for example, after rain, heatwaves, or heavy use — so you can act before issues (and costs) appear.
02. Optimize
Hours of Operation
Efficient scheduling will save electricity, money, and the planet
Pools are expensive to run
A typical pool running 8 hours a day can cost around $1,200 per year in electricity alone.
The right run time depends on temperature, water quality, and usage — cooler or well balanced water can safely run fewer hours.
TED keeps it efficient
TED helps you manage visualise and set smarter schedules that cut waste without compromising water quality.
TED AI takes it further
TED AI learns how your pool behaves and suggests smarter adjustments — like trimming time when water’s clear or adding a bit after heatwaves.
You stay in control — TED just makes it easy to chooses
03. Lowest
tariff
Run your pool at the lowest possible rate — every day
Make the most of solar
If you’ve got solar, running your pool during the day makes sense — but what about rainy days?
Do you remember to switch to off-peak? Me neither.
TED makes it simple
TED lets you adjust your schedule from your phone in seconds — so when it rains or clouds roll in, you can easily shift to off-peak hours yourself.
TED AI takes it further
TED AI watches the weather and prompts you to move your schedule between solar and off-peak, without you having to think about it. One click and it's done. You stay in control — TED AI just does the thinking for you.
04. Smart controls
from your phone
Control, schedule, and monitor your pool’s energy from your phone.
Pool timers are hard to operate
They’re often buried, clunky, and don’t show you how much energy they use — so most people set and forget. Sounds about right?
TED knows what to do
TED becomes your smart timer. Turn your pump on or off, set schedules or timers, and track energy use — all from your phone.
TED AI takes it further
TED AI learns your pool’s patterns and suggests smarter schedules when things change — all you have to do is tap YES.
You stay efficient and always in control, without having to fiddle with the timer.... where the spiders live
05. Let TED AI
do the thinking
TED takes the guesswork out of pool care — helping you save energy, money, and effort, every day.
Every pool is different
Rules of thumb like “6 hours in winter, 10 in summer” treat every pool the same. But your pool’s chemistry, weather, and usage are constantly changing — and that’s where most energy gets wasted.
TED makes it easy
TED replaces your timer and puts everything in one app — from pump schedules to energy tracking and water balance.
TED AI does the thinking
TED AI learns-your-pool. It analyses your test history, energy use, and weather patterns to spot when you could save — suggesting smarter run-times, test reminders, or tariff shifts before you’d ever think to.
You stay in charge — TED AI just helps your pool run like it should have all along.
Ready to make your pool smarter with TED?
Both versions make pool care simple. TED AI just goes further.
Every pool is different — and every pool can run smarter by optimising water quality and schedule
TED AI helps you find your pool’s perfect balance of chemistry, runtime, and control — usually saving 25–40% without lifting a finger
1. Start with chemistry
First, get pH, alkalinity, stabiliser (CYA), calcium and salt in perfect balance—this is the foundation for real savings.
What you’ll see: TED AI’s independent assistant guides you step-by-step—no guesswork—just exactly what you need.
Why it matters: When your chemistry is spot-on, the pump and chlorinator can work efficiently—fewer wasted hours, fewer surprises.
2. Balanced water ... so much easier
Regular testing and small adjustments mean fewer chemical swings and less waste
What you’ll see: TED AI learns your pool and reminds you when testing is due—clearer water, consistent results, lower costs (and more zen).
Why it matters: avoiding large swings in chemicals saves time, frustration and hundreds in chemical and frustration costs.
3. TED learns your pool to trim hours
Once your chemistry is in the sweet spot, TED AI helps you find the minimal runtime to keep your water healthy and clear. Step-by-step, TED AI monitors, calculates, and suggests — you stay in charge.
What you’ll see: TED AI suggestions to test your water or adjust your schedule — often enough but not too often
Why it matters: this is where TED typically finds 25–40% savings, tailored to your pool’s behaviour, equipment and local weather.
4. Weather aware schedules
TED AI monitors weather and nudges you to adjust your pump schedule accordingly. Big heat, UV, wind or rain? TED AI suggests schedule changes to always optimise.
What you’ll see: Tips to adjust runtime based on heat, UV, wind or rain. If you’re on solar/time-of-use, TED’ll suggest off-peak shifts.
What it means: Your pool runs the right amount, at the lowest cost, every day.
5. Full control on your phone
TED gives you a sleek mobile interface so you're always in charge:
-
Control your pump from anywhere
-
Set schedules and timers from anywhere
-
Visualise your energy use and cost
-
Balance and track your water chemistry
What you’ll see: all you need to simplify your pool and save on your phone - and alerts if something's not right
What it means: TED AI does the heavy lifting. You take the credit—more savings, less worry.
6. AI helps you save more
Optimised chemistry: less chemicals, less guesswork, less time wasted
Reduced run-time: lower energy bill
Smart schedule adjustments: no unnecessary hours
Insights but in control: TED AI suggests, you decide
Real savings: most pools can save 25-45% on electricity and more on chemicals
