FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

Why do standard black H07RN-F or H07RN8-F rubber cables fail prematurely in swimming pools?

Standard polychloroprene (H07RN8-F) is engineered for raw water and sewage, but free chlorine, bromine, and ozone sanitizers in swimming pools attack conventional carbon-filled neoprene, causing black smudging on pool tiles, jacket chalking, and premature embrittlement; PBS-POOL uses a chlorine-stabilised non-staining blue elastomer. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.

Can PROFIPLAST PBS-POOL be used on both underwater LED lights and robotic pool cleaners?

Yes, 2-core PBS-POOL (2×1.5 to 2×6.0 mm²) is ideal for 12 V / 24 V SELV underwater LED floodlights and commercial robotic pool cleaners, while 3G, 4G, and 5G sizes feed submerged pumps, movable pool floors, and fountain jets. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.

Is PBS-POOL suitable for saltwater electrolysis and thermal spa pools?

Yes, its cross-linked elastomer jacket and tinned Class 5 copper conductors resist saline electrolysis pools, brominated thermal spas up to +40 °C water temperature, and ozonated competition basins. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.

Does the blue PBS-POOL jacket leave marks on white PVC pool liners or ceramic grout?

No, the pigment-stabilised pool-blue outer sheath contains zero migrating plasticizers or carbon black, ensuring it will not stain PVC pool membranes, fibreglass shells, or light-coloured tile grout. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
