Olpe Water Park

SCHELL products maintain drinking water quality and support user hygiene at this water park 

Management at Olpe Water Park chose quality branded products from SCHELL for the renovation of this popular venue. The new sanitary facilities were equipped with intelligent SCHELL sanitary solutions that were integrated into the central building control system. These solutions not only offer patrons a high level of user hygiene but also help to maintain drinking water hygiene while ensuring that park operations are especially economical and energy-efficient. 

Water management made easy – thanks to SWS

During the renovations to the sanitary facilities, the operators installed the SCHELL SWS Water Management System, which provides optimum support for maintaining drinking water hygiene at Olpe Water Park while ensuring efficient operations. The system was seamlessly integrated with the existing central building control system using an SWS Gateway. Regular stagnation flushes now ensure the complete and routine exchange of water in the piping and therefore effectively prevent the spread of harmful bacteria such as Legionella. This ensures optimum maintenance of drinking water quality at all tapping points – even during the off-peak season or when the park is closed. If usage patterns change, stagnation flushes and fitting parameters can be modified – using the centralised, flexible SWS application – ensuring an optimum approach to the maintenance of drinking water quality while keeping water consumption as low as possible. The SWS protocol is translated into the required bus protocols by the SWS Gateway. 

Using contactless sensor fittings to save resources and support user hygiene

A total of 15 electronic PURIS E wash basin taps, networked with SWS, were installed on the wash basins. Thanks to their contactless triggering using infrared sensors, these elegant taps made from chromed brass also help to improve user hygiene. Operation with wet hands – a frequent problem in swimming baths and saunas – is also made easier and more convenient by the sensor-triggered controls. Since water only flows when hands are within range of the sensor and the flow of water also stops after handwashing, PURIS E is also effective at saving water and energy. The preferred temperature can be adjusted using the temperature control on the side. Parameters such as sensor range, flow time, stagnation flushes, etc. can all be programmed using SWS. A total of 15 PURIS SC self-closing wash basin taps were also installed in the washrooms. Users can trigger the flow of water using the low-contact, single manual actuation. Afterwards, this stops automatically as a result of an individually programmable flow time.

LINUS shower panels: robust, easy-to-clean and perfectly networked with SWS

In the shower cubicles at Olpe Water Park, a total of 20 LINUS DP-C-T shower panels and LINUS D-C-T concealed showers were installed and networked with SWS. The durable, corrosion-protected aluminium extruded profile with an anodised, polished, easy-to-clean surface gives the LINUS shower panels maximum visual appeal as well as ensuring a long service life. The flow of water from these taps is triggered by CVD touch electronics and closes automatically after a set time. In this way, the LINUS DP-C-T shower panels help to save energy and cut water consumption during park operations. User comfort is also a priority: the vandal-resistant, soft-stream COMFORT Flex shower head ensures a pleasant showering experience with its adjustable tilt angle and anti-limescale burls. Patron safety is provided by the ThermoProtect thermostat, ensuring that guests at Olpe Water Park are perfectly protected against scald injuries, even if the cold water line should fail. Another advantage with these shower panels is their ingenious design: all pre-assembled connection lines lie protected behind the rotating front panel, which ensures straightforward servicing as well as quick and simple installation by a single fitter. The LINUS D-C-T concealed showers with front panels made from chromed brass are also equipped with CVD touch electronics and an automatic closing mechanism, and offer the same benefits as the LINUS shower panels in terms of user comfort, efficiency, and water or energy savings. Thanks to the ThermoProtect thermostat, the LINUS concealed showers also provide reliable anti-scalding protection. The concealed showers are complemented by 20 COMFORT Flex shower heads. Networked with SWS, the 40 shower fittings installed from the LINUS series help keep operations hygienic at the Water Park. 

In the WCs, a total of 20 MONTUS WC modules were used. The self-supporting, powder-coated profiled frame with height-adjustable feet made the module installation an especially simple and flexible process. These were complemented by 20 Linear 2 WC operating panels and 15 EDITION urinal operating panels, both with front panels in alpine white.
