CF group a committed professional and responsible for the pool of tomorrow
With 3.2 million private swimming pools’, France has become the first European swimming pool park and the second worldwide behind the United States. These record figures, which are constantly increasing, confirm the enthusiasm of the French for swimming pools. However, between global ecological awareness and repeated droughts, the call today is for sobriety in swimming pools. However, for CF group, a major European group, manufacturer and distributor of swimming pool products and equipment, the environment and swimming pools are not incompatible.
In order to propose an eco-responsible offer for a more committed swimming pool, economical in water and energy, the company CF group integrates the environmental concerns in all the aspects of its activity and that for several years.
CF group’s Technocenter :
towards the challenge of the eco-responsible pool
Committed to the swimming pool of tomorrow, the CF group Technocentre brings together a team of 21 employees dedicated to new technologies and innovation in order to accelerate the delivery of innovative and differentiating projects on the markets. Anticipation and respect for natural resources are the leitmotivs of the Technocentre, which is divided into three areas : innovation, technical mastery and adaptation to uses.
All products are developed, manufactured and distributed by the group. The teams are actively working on several aspects, such as systematically taking into account the respect of natural resources in the research phase, the search for alternatives to current disinfecting products, the of chemistry and the optimization of the use of salt water, the design of less energy-consuming pools, cartridge filters, solar-powered safety shutters or variable speed pumps for a more rational use.
In this sense, CF group has been working for several years for a less energy-consuming swimming pool combining constant optimization and unlimited comfort. To achieve this, the Technocentre has forged exclusive partnerships with major industrial groups and technological experts, such as its collaboration with the startup Purecontrol: a solution for optimizing pool energy through artificial intelligence. The Technocentre team also works with 22 accredited laboratories and has 8 integrated pools as well as a range of prototyping and testing tools (chemical laboratory, 3D printers, etc.).
23 major products have been developed in the last three years. Today, 15 new projects are underway. CF group listens to the needs of users and provides them with connected pool equipment for controlled, regular and constant energy consumption. For example, the LivePool-Care technology is an online water analysis and personalized recommendation application. It facilitates the control of swimming pool equipment in private homes, thanks to connected clocks and controls. Professionals can also organize the management of their pool equipment, perform remote diagnostics or carry out troubleshooting operations using this technology.
As an eco-responsible pool player, CF group is proud to participate in the preservation of the environment while offering quality equipment for users.
A player commited to environmental standards
The company is committed to offering ever more virtuous, sustainable and environmentally friendly products, while remaining located mainly in France and Europe to promote short circuits and participate in the development of future regulations.
As a member of the French Federation of Swimming Pool Professionals (FPP), the company has actively participated in the establishment of the environmental standard NF EN 17645 on swimming pool awareness. This standard evaluates the environmental performance of domestic swimming pools and their equipment. The standard is applicable to permanently installed outdoor domestic swimming pools. A standard, which is not mandatory today, but which is already fully integrated by the Research & Development teams of CF group.
