High Chlorine Consumption in the Pool: Why 20 Liters of Chlorine Disappeared in Two Weeks
Too much chlorine in the pool, a chlorine canister that’s constantly empty, or water parameters that don’t add up even though the water is clear: There are many possible causes for high chlorine consumption. In addition to sunlight, temperature, and swimming activity, the pH level, the chlorine products used, and cyanuric acid also play an important role. Even a good redox value does not automatically mean that the measured chlorine level in the pool is interpreted correctly. I noticed the problem after installing the BAYROL Automatic Cl-pH. In just under two weeks, the dosing system used about 20 liters of liquid chlorine—even though the water was clear and the system…

TerraMow V1000, V600, and Mini 500 Review: Robotic Lawn Mowers Without RTK and Lidar?
A robotic lawn mower without RTK, LiDAR, or a boundary wire is supposed to map the yard on its own and still navigate reliably. This is exactly where the TerraMow Mini 500, TerraMow V600, and TerraMow V1000 come in, with their camera-based TerraVision 2.0 technology. I’ve tested the Mini 500 and V600 extensively and am comparing them to the larger V1000. This article highlights the differences in navigation, obstacle detection, the app, coverage area, and edge cutting—and explains which model is the best choice for which type of garden.

ECOVACS GOAT O1200 LiDAR PRO Review: Perfect Edge Mowing Without Any Touch-Ups?
Lawn edges are among the biggest weak spots for many robotic mowers. The open lawn area is mowed neatly, but a narrow strip often remains unmowed along walls, hedges, or barriers that the mower cannot cross. That’s exactly where the ECOVACS GOAT O1200 LiDAR PRO comes in, with its side-extending TruEdge Trimmer. I tested the robotic lawn mower on three separate lawns, evaluating features such as automatic mapping, navigation, app control, the mowing pattern, and edge cutting. I was particularly interested in whether the built-in trimmer could actually reduce the need for regular touch-ups with a handheld trimmer. The first impression in the ECOVACS GOAT O1200 LiDAR PRO review was…

Robot lawn mower without boundary wire in test: LiDAR vs RTK in comparison (ANTHBOT M5 vs M9)
Robot mowers without boundary wires are currently one of the most exciting developments in the gardening sector. In my test, I directly compared two different concepts: the ANTHBOT M5 as a LiDAR robotic lawnmower and the ANTHBOT M9 as an RTK robotic lawnmower with GPS navigation. Both models manage completely without a perimeter wire and show in the practical test how well cordless robotic lawn mowers really work today. In this comparison, I share my experiences from my own garden, discuss navigation, obstacle detection, edge cutting and set-up and clarify which robotic lawnmower without a wire is the best choice for which area of application.

Lymow One Plus in test: RTK robot mower for large areas & difficult terrain
In the Lymow One Plus test, I show how this robotic lawnmower performs in practice without a boundary wire on a large and demanding area. With RTK navigation, chain drive, 45° incline and a cutting width of 40 cm, the Lymow takes a significantly different approach to classic robotic mowers. I tested the new Lymow One Plus extensively and compared it directly with the Lymow One. The focus is on performance, navigation, off-road capability and the question of whether this system is really worthwhile for large plots of land. The article provides a detailed insight into the technology, set-up, practical test and my experiences – including strengths, weaknesses and a…

The best Reolink 4k PTZ surveillance cameras in comparison: 823S2 vs 823S1 vs TrackMix vs TrackFlex in test
For me, Reolink is one of the most exciting manufacturers of modern 4K PTZ surveillance cameras for indoor and outdoor use. In this Reolink surveillance camera comparison, I analyze several high-performance models – from classic PTZ cameras with optical zoom to dual-lens and floodlight variants for outdoor use. The focus is on image quality, motion detection, night vision, PoE vs. WLAN, local storage without a subscription and the question of which camera is really suitable for large properties, driveways or security-relevant areas. I will show you my practical experience with the RLC-823S2, RLC-823S1, TrackMix and TrackFlex and categorize the models technically and strategically. The aim of this article is to…
