In terms of waterproof safety performance, the Coospider outdoor model’s IP68 protection rating (higher than the industry average IP65) ensures that it can still function normally after being immersed in water at a depth of 1.5 meters for 60 minutes. The 2024 standard of the National Swimming Pool Foundation (NSPF) in the United States requires that poolside electrical equipment withstand environmental corrosion with a chlorine concentration of ≥3ppm. Coospider uses 316 stainless steel electrode mesh and ASA UV-resistant plastic casing. In the accelerated aging test (simulated for 5 years), the strength attenuation rate was only 7.3% (the median value of competing products was 22%). The measured data from the Florida Mosquito Control Association shows that its high-voltage grid still maintains a stable output voltage of 3800V±5% under a humidity condition of 95%, with an arc short circuit probability as low as 0.1%.
The effectiveness of pest control is strongly correlated with the water environment. The area around the swimming pool becomes a breeding spot for mosquitoes due to the reflection of water and water temperature (usually 26-30℃). Monitoring shows that the mosquito density within 3 meters of the pool shore can reach 35 per cubic meter (about 8 in ordinary courtyards). During the test of the Coospider Pro model at the Miami Beach Hotel (July 2023), the peak nighttime catch rate of a single device reached 423 mosquitoes per hour, but its attraction efficiency for chironomes mosquitoes was 18% lower than that for Culex mosquitoes. It should be noted that the recommended installation height of the equipment is 1.5 to 1.8 meters (as per the guidelines of the British Pest Control Association (BPCA). If it is too high, the capture rate will decrease by 40%.
Chemical compatibility affects the lifespan of equipment. Hypochlorous acid (with a concentration of 0.5-1ppm) formed by chlorine evaporation can accelerate metal corrosion. The special coating of the Coospider electrode mesh keeps the annual corrosion rate at 0.05mm/ year (0.25mm/ year for ordinary carbon steel). The operation and maintenance report of the seven-star hotel “Atlantis” in Dubai shows that after operating in a saltwater swimming pool environment (with a salinity of 3.5%) for three years, only two of its 32 devices needed to be replaced due to salt accumulation in the fans (replacement cost $12 per unit). However, if bromine disinfectant (bromine concentration 4-6 PPM) is used in the swimming pool, it is recommended to rinse the shell with clean water every quarter to reduce the risk of plastic brittleness.
The implementation of safety regulations is of vital importance. The International Electrotechnical Commission IEC 60364-7-702 stipulates that electrical appliances in the swimming pool area should be at least 1.5 meters above the water surface (at least 2.4 meters in the splash area). The 2025 California Accident Investigation Report indicates that when ungrounded equipment is used on wet ground, the leakage current may reach 8mA (the safety threshold of 10mA), while Coospider keeps the leakage current below 0.25mA through a dual insulation design. In terms of child safety, the design of its grid spacing of 3.5mm reduces the probability of accidental finger touches to only 0.0003 times per thousand hours (UL certified data).
Economic operation and maintenance need to be adapted to the characteristics of the swimming pool. A chlorine environment can shorten the lifespan of UV lamps by approximately 15% (reducing the standard lifespan from 8,000 hours to 6,800 hours), but variable frequency technology (with a power adjustment range of 5-20W) can save 63% of energy during off-peak hours. The case of the Marbella Resort in Spain shows that 40 devices adopted an intelligent start-stop strategy (combined with flow sensors), and the annual electricity bill dropped from 586 to 217. Compared with the chemical spray solution, the US Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the monthly chemical control cost for the swimming pool area is about 120, while the Bug Zapper solution is only 28 (including an annual anti-corrosion coating maintenance fee of $80).
Optimization plans for special scenarios enhance the experience. In response to concerns over light pollution in high-end venues, the Coospider custom model has reduced the blue light intensity to 50 lumens (300 lumens for the standard model), and in its application at the cliff swimming pool in Bali, it has decreased the customer complaint rate by 82%. For the hot spring swimming pool (with a humidity of 100%), it is recommended to choose the turbine air duct design model (with a wind speed of 2.5m/s), which has a dehumidification efficiency 40% higher than the basic model, ensuring the continuous dryness of the power grid. The W Hotel Koh Samui in Thailand has reduced the number of mosquito bites in the swimming pool area from an average of 5.3 per day to 0.2 per day by distributing 12 devices (with a coverage rate of 98%), and its TripAdvisor approval rating has increased by 1.7 points.
