Over the past twenty years, Poolstar Group has progressively expanded the expertise of its Poolex brand, originally specialising in heat pumps, to now cover every function of the pool equipment room. Filtration, water treatment, heating and cooling, solar solutions and connectivity: at Piscine Global 2026, the group will unveil the latest additions to a comprehensive, intelligent and scalable ecosystem designed to simplify pool management for both professionals and private pool owners.

From water treatment to filtration, the Poolex ecosystem continues to grow

In 2026, Poolex strengthened its water treatment range with a new generation of salt chlorinators, comprising Aqualyser, Modulyser and Neolyser. The brand is also continuing to develop its heating solutions with Airline 360, an R290 heat pump featuring 360° airflow.

The transition to R290 refrigerant is set to extend across the entire Poolex range by 2027. Combining environmental benefits with thermal performance, this refrigerant ensures efficient heating even as temperatures drop, extending the swimming season while keeping electricity consumption under control. Many models achieve an A-class SCOP rating. Poolstar will support this transition by providing dedicated training and technical assistance for professionals.

Poolex heat pumps reflect the brand's longstanding expertise in pool heating

When it comes to water treatment, Poolex prioritises correctly sized equipment. In response to the rising price of ruthenium, a key component in salt chlorination cells, the brand has redesigned its Aqualyser range rather than simply passing on the cost increase. Originally designed for pools of up to 90 m³ (20 g/h), the system is now also available in 12 g/h versions for pools of up to 60 m³ and 15 g/h versions for pools of up to 75 m³. The objective is to match treatment capacity to the pool's actual requirements, without oversizing the equipment. The right dosage, the right technology, the right price.

The next step will focus on filtration. A new generation of Poolex pumps is scheduled for launch in 2027, with three key priorities: low energy consumption, easy replacement in existing installations and enhanced connectivity. These upcoming products will be unveiled for the first time in Lyon.

From robust fixed-speed models to intelligent variable-speed pumps, every solution is designed with professionals in mind, from installation through to monitoring

With Nexus, the equipment room becomes a monitoring hub

Beyond expanding its range, Poolstar is investing in connectivity to enable its equipment to operate as a coordinated, integrated system. With Poolex Nexus, automation and artificial intelligence make it possible to coordinate the various pieces of equipment according to the pool's needs and how it is used.

For pool owners, a scenario such as a weekend "Pool Party" can be scheduled in advance, automatically adjusting equipment operation to get the pool ready for the occasion. For professionals, the benefits go further. Nexus enables them to monitor installations remotely, receive alerts when anomalies occur and identify certain maintenance needs before customers even report a problem.

Remote monitoring therefore takes connectivity to another level. Beyond controlling an individual pool, Poolex Nexus becomes a practical tool that helps professionals manage their entire pool portfolio more easily and anticipate maintenance interventions.

Poolex Nexus: easier pool management for owners, and a pool portfolio that is easier for professionals to monitor and enhance

Through these developments, Poolstar is pursuing a consistent approach: advancing technology while keeping equipment accessible, easy to use and easy for pool professionals to support and manage. This philosophy now brings together filtration, water treatment, heating and connectivity within a single Poolex offering.

At Piscine Global 2026, professionals will be able to discover this new approach to pool equipment rooms and attend Poolex Nexus demonstrations at the Poolstar stand.
