Hello and welcome
A Pool is basically a location and can include one or several charging devices.
It can be empty - but every charging device needs to belong to a Pool.
2 different pools always have different information
All the information about where the chargers are located is defined at the Pool-level.
Here is the list of fields that need to be defined when creating a new Pool on the Virta Hub:
| Basic information | Name | The name of your pool will help you identify it easily throughout the system. Later it will also be displayed as the location name in our user apps. Give a name that tells anyone easily where this pool is located. |
| Open hours | The open hours describe when the charging points are available to charge at. By default they are 24/7 - only select more specific hours if your charging points are located in a place that closes for time-to-time, at night or during weekends for example. | |
| Time zone | The time zone of your pools is partly determined by the country your organisation is located in. If you work in a country with several time zones you might have to adjust this value to match the reality. | |
| Location information | Location description | Besides the name, you can also add some description for the location your pool is in. It can include information about how to reach the chargers - specific entrance indications or parking levels for example. |
| Owner | The Owner is the organisation a pool belongs to. Changing the Owner of a pool might affect some of its core settings such as its tariffs or access management rules, so use with caution. | |
| Address | Address of the location. | |
| Postcode | Postcode of the location. | |
| City | City of the location. | |
| Country | The country your pool is located in will be defined according to the country your organisation is based in. For VAT and currency reasons, you need to create a separate organisation if you wish to manage or own chargers in a different country. | |
| GPS coordinates |
GPS coordinates of your location. You can find exact GPS coordinates by clicking on the wish location on Google Maps for example. |
|
| Technical information | Pool voltage and feed information |
