Are you wondering how to choose the right technology to build a business solution for your company? Symfony has been used to create many amazing solutions for enterprises from various industries. Find out which popular companies use this framework in their projects.

Symfony in business projects

Symfony is an open-source technology. In practice, this means that there’s a huge community around it that develops the software and supports each other in overcoming the challenges of programming in the PHP language. This framework is well-documented and used by many popular brands.

Advantages of using Symfony

Why Symfony and not some other framework will be appropriate for your project?

1. The layered architecture (MVC) makes programming and managing the application convenient and simple. Introducing changes in one place doesn’t require you to modify large chunks of code. Making changes in the part visible to the Internet user is much cheaper and easier, thanks to the fact that the view layer is separated from the model layer.
2. Symfony allows you to create entire applications or only specific elements, making it an ideal technology for both those who want to create a solution from scratch, and those who want to add specific functionalities to the existing code.
3. Symfony includes built-in tools for testing the application being created. You can then build a solution that is in accordance with the goals of Test-Driven Development. Thanks to this, the process of creating business solutions is efficient.
4. The users of this PHP framework can benefit from the help and support of the large community developing Symfony.
5. It’s a flexible framework enabling the creation of personalised solutions. The numerous components make it possible to adapt a website or application to the specific expectations of the user. They can be easily integrated with other platforms.

Which industries can benefit from using this PHP framework?

Research shows that Symfony is most often used to create solutions for clients in the healthcare sector (the data show that they make up as much as 23% of the companies using Symfony) and IT. The framework is also appreciated in e-commerce, because it enables easy and quick development of sales platforms, integration with social media and implementation of various payment methods.

The biggest famous brands around the world use Symfony for their projects. Some use PHP and this popular framework to create websites that are engaging for users, others build advanced applications and tools that improve the daily work of the company. Corporations use Symfony to add new functionalities to their solutions. Facebook is among the most well-known companies using Symfony. API of the Facebook Ads application and the Instant Articles SDK technology are built with Symfony components. Thanks to Symfony, effective tools for marketing automation (e.g. Mautic), CMS and CRM systems used by most companies every day, as well as other tools facilitating the management of the company and its resources were also created.

Spotify

In 2015, the Spotify brand published on its official profile, concerning the use of technology and product development, a tweet confirming that it was using Symfony. Spotify uses Symfony to manage its users’ accounts – the statistics show that the streaming platform had as many as 286 million active users in 2020.

Blablacar

PHP frameworks are used relatively often to create booking applications. Symfony was used to build the BlablaCar platform, enabling joint travel by private cars and sharing the travel costs, which is extremely popular in Poland. This example shows that Symfony is in fact regarded as a full-stack framework as the brand uses it for both the frontend and backend of the website and mobile application. The Blablacar website had over 87 million registered users in 2020. The brand has a website using the local domain in every country it operates in.

Trivago

Another Symfony-based booking application that serves millions of users, allowing for comparing hotel accommodation prices, is owned by the Trivago company. Symfony allows for providing Internet users with the best user experience when they search and compare offers, by creating numerous functionalities on the page. The page is integrated with many websites and enables advanced filtering of offers. Trivago also has a technical blog with articles about working with Symfony.

Dailymotion

Like Spotify, Dailymotion is a streaming service, only it offers access to videos instead of music. It’s one of the most well-known websites of this type, visited by millions of users every day. The Dailymotion company created its website in PHP, and after a few years they decided to abandon the framework they created in favour of Symfony.

Why did Dailymotion choose Symfony? The team decided to switch to the open source Symfony framework in order to focus more on business development, instead of time-consuming work on developing its framework (adding new functionalities, creating the documentation, and carrying out comprehensive training courses for team members). As adding new functionalities is the daily routine of Dailymotion developers, the company decided to choose Symfony, which is known for making them easier to create thanks to its components.

Why should your company consider using PHP and Symfony?

Symfony is a technology chosen by well-known companies around the world to implement projects of various types. You can use this PHP framework to develop your existing solutions or build them from scratch. It’ll allow you to create a high-quality engaging website for your clients, regardless of whether you represent the B2C or B2B sector. Symfony is great irrespective of what industry you represent – its flexibility allows you to create solutions tailored to the individual needs of the company.

Eco-Friendly alternative to factory chlorine production allows you to make your own ‘locally sourced and organic’ chlorine, on-site.

Here’s how it works: The slightly salty water passes through a salt chlorine generator; a stack of electrically charged metal plates converts the salt into chlorine, using electrolysis. After the chlorine molecule does it’s work, it reverts back to the original components of just salt and water, where the process starts again.

Today’s saltwater generators use sensors to monitor chlorine levels, salt levels, water temperature and water flow, and are completely computer controlled with easy to use digital interfaces. Mount the control box, plumb in the salt cell, and pour in the pool salt!

If your family is considering making the switch from a chlorine pool to an eco-friendly saltwater pool, keep reading to learn more:

Salt Chlorinators

Maintenance: Saltwater pools require weekly maintenance that includes monitoring salt concentration, pH and chlorine levels. The salt cell is a set of stacked metal plates that creates the chlorine.

Saltwater pool owners will not usually have to add chlorine to the pool, and saltwater generators are self-regulating, so there is often no need to shock the pool to remove chloramines. Salt pools may need to add small amounts of pool salt each year, to replace salt lost to backwashing, splash-out or winterization.

Salt cells only function when the filter pump is operating, so if you have pump or filter problems, you may need to use bleach, pool shock or tablets, until repairs are made. Salt pools may also use pool shock for spring openings, for algae treatment or stain removal.

And, salt cells don’t work well in cold water – below 60°, you’ll need other forms of chlorine. Specifically, at water temperatures below 60 degrees, conductivity of the salt is severely hampered. This causes the salt cell to work much harder to produce chlorine, which can shorten the lifespan of your salt cell. 

Many salt chlorinators have a temperature sensor, which automatically reduces chlorine production when temperatures drop below 60 degrees, and stops production altogether when water temps reach 50 degrees. Other units have a Winter Mode, which is manually activated, to reduce production to around 20%. These are designed to protect the salt cell, to keep it from working too hard, which again, will shorten the lifespan of the expensive-to-replace salt cell.

Both chlorine and saltwater pools require the same chemical management, and still require balanced pool water; with proper Alkalinity, pH, Calcium Hardness, and chlorine Stabilizer levels. And even though a salt chlorinator monitors salt and chlorine levels, it’s a good idea to cross-check with your own test kit. Salt levels can be tested with salt test strips.

Salt cells generally last 3-5 years before needing replacement. Salt cells last longer when they are oversized and under-worked, and cleaned regularly.

Cleanliness: Salt chlorine instantly kills harmful bacteria when it’s introduced into pool water, converting to hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ions that destroy contaminants in a matter of seconds.

The chlorine created by a salt chlorine generator is exactly the same as the chlorine released from tablets, shock or bleach. The disinfectant ability is equal as well, between salt chlorine and tablet chlorine.

I’ve heard it said that algae won’t grow in a salt pool, but that’s just not true, algae is a very adaptable species, and can grow in any type of pool when conditions are right. Salt pools that develop algae should begin a regular algaecide treatment, after shocking the pool appropriately.

Health: Exposure to chlorine chemicals can dry out the skin and hair and can give swimmers itchy, irritable skin. Saltwater pools avoid peaks and valleys in chlorination, reducing chloramine formation, which causes red eyes, skin and at times, lung irritation.

Chlorine chemicals need to be handled with care. Transporting, storing and using chlorine products can be hazardous, on many levels. Have you ever read the Precautionary Statements on a chlorine bucket? Chlorine products can be dangerous.

Although saltwater pools are not chlorine-free, many swimmers find that the water quality of saltwater pools to be more pleasant. This is because the slightly salty water is softer, although you won’t taste it, and it won’t burn your eyes like the ocean.

Expense. No matter which delivery system you choose, chlorine isn’t free. Pool saltwater systems will initially cost more up-front to buy/install, but over time – the costs of chlorinating with a salt generator vs. tablet and shock chlorine is about the same.

I’d be remiss to not mention that salt water splash-out or drag-off can potentially damage certain types of very soft flagstone or travertine stonework. Sealing a stone pool deck or coping regularly will prevent damage and chalking from evaporated salt.

Pool decks of concrete, pavers or bricks however, are more resistant to salt from pool splash out and usually stand-up well without regular sealing or rinsing of the deck, especially in areas with regular rainfall.

Salt Chlorine Generator; Good Fit for Your Family?

The cost of installing a saltwater pool is higher than a traditional chlorine pool; however many consider swimming comfort and not having to store and handle (much) chlorine, as worth the additional expense.

You may still need to use some chlorine – if your salt system (or pump or filter) goes on the fritz, or for spring opening, or if you use the pool with cold water temperatures under 65° F. You can use tablets, granular or liquid chlorine, during these times, as needed.

Busy families will not have to worry as much about pool chlorine with a saltwater generator, which requires very little intervention.

A Salt Pool is a Chlorine Pool!

Saltwater systems make chlorine, the exact same chlorine that is released from pool chlorine products. In a saltwater pool, when H2O + NaOCl are run through the salt cell, the electric charge breaks apart molecules to create chlorine (Cl) and a few other byproducts, which are generally reabsorbed. The chlorine that is instantly created, hypochlorous acid, is the same exact chlorine that is released from chlorine tablets, liquid chlorine, or granular chlorine.

Saltwater Pools do have Benefits

• You can’t taste the salt, but it can make the water feel softer
• Less storage and handling of hazardous chlorine products
• Breakpoint chlorination inside the cell reduces chloramines constantly
• Easily raise or lower chlorine levels, and view status on digital display

Saltwater Pools are not Maintenance Free Pools

• You still have to monitor the system, and test for salt, chlorine and stabilizer levels
• You still have to maintain good water balance; saltwater pool pH and Alkalinity rises rapidly
• Salt cells need cleaning to remove scale, although some systems do it automatically
• Salt cells last about 5 yrs; salt system parts like boards, sensors and switches may last longer

You may Still Need to Use Chlorine Products

• To raise chlorine level very fast for shock treatments
• To maintain chlorine level during pump, filter or salt system equipment problems
• To clear the water during opening or closing the pool, or for treating various water problems

Saltwater can attack Soft & Shiny Surfaces

• Galvanic corrosion can oxidize chrome surfaces in the pool, although sacrificial anodes can be used
• Salt residue can slowly corrode soft coping stones or stone decks, although sealers can be used

Although I’m known to preach the benefits of In The Swim chlorine, the use of a saltwater pool system is a perfectly logical alternative for pool disinfection.

Maybe people using alumina ceramic lining tile as roller wear liner found that the alumina tile fall out from the surface while service working.

Chemshun Ceramics tell you 5 reasons why ceramic lining tiles fall:

1. Unreasonable thickness distribution of the alumina tile. It usually result for a gap between ceramic surface and steel surface. Thus, the adhesion can’t stick closely and the alumina ceramic tile fall out. And even you can stick alumina tiles closely on the steel surface, it’ll make your roller surface uneven and it can’t transport materials steadily or benefit for choose mining materials.

2. Unqualified quality of alumina ceramic tile. Some factory supply their customer ceramic tiles of lacking angles. These tiles are hard to stick closely and easier to get wear than others tiles.

3. The alumina contents of alumina ceramic tile is lower than customer demands. High alumina ceramic tiles with high wear resistance, the alumina tile of low alumina contents is faster to get wear than high alumina tile.
 
4. The unqualified quality or wrong ingredient ratio of epoxy glue. These both are the reasons for the unsatisfactory result of sticking.

5. The wrong way to stick ceramic tiles on the steel surface. Before stick alumina ceramic tiles, you need to clean the stick surface by acetone and sandblasting the steel. Then evenly brush the epoxy glue until it’s thick enough. Otherwise, it’ll be easy to fall out.

Winter can be an extremely challenging time for pools and pool owners. From worrying about structural damage, to fixing broken pipes in freezing weather, there are many things that can go wrong in the off-season. And if you have an above ground pool, you know how difficult it can be to protect your beloved pool in winter. In this article, we discuss how to prevent and fix above ground pool ice damage.

Iceberg in Your Pool

Above ground pool walls are cold, like an ice cube tray, and the ice sheet grows very fast and thick. Inground pools have soil surrounding the walls, which gives both support and temperature regulation.

As water turns to ice, it expands 9%, putting pressure on the pool walls as it expands outward. Using an air pillow under a tight pool cover is crucial to prevent ice and pressure buildup.

In addition, the water level in your pool supports the floating sheet of ice, as it presses up against your pool walls and liner. If the pool develops a leak, the heavy ice sheet can scrape down the sides of the pool wall as it falls, shredding a pool liner.

Skimmer Wall Buckled:

When the water level in the pool drops even an inch, the ice sheet will also drop. If the ice is frozen into the inside of the skimmer, this can cause serious damage to the pool. Using a skimmer cover will keep thick ice from freezing into the inside of the skimmer, which can crumple the wall below the skimmer.

Alternatively, you can use a Gizzmo type skimmer guard. A skimmer guard works like an air pillow by absorbing ice expansion. But instead of protecting the pool walls, it protects your skimmer walls from the outward expansion of ice. Without a skimmer guard, a plugged skimmer can easily crack from freeze damage, requiring replacement.

Above Ground Wall Collapse:

If an above ground pool leaks while the winter pool cover is frozen solid into the ice sheet, either the cover will rip, or the pool walls will collapse inward. This is why air pillows are so vital for above ground pools. When used properly, they will prevent ice from freezing solid under the pool cover. You will need enough air pillows to cover about 10% of the pool surface area. The unfrozen area under the air pillows allows the ice to expand slightly inward, instead of expanding outward against the walls.

Pool Cover Ice Damage:

But what about a giant ice sheet on top of the pool cover? Usually the pool cover will fail first, unless the pool has serious structural damage and weak supports. A heavy ice sheet on the cover can also develop sharp edges as it thaws, which can cut the pool cover. This is why using a cover pump is so important for above ground pools. Cover pumps prevent rain and snow melt from building up on the cover, which can damage the cover and pool. 1–2 inches of water is not concerning, but an excessive amount of water can eventually freeze on top of the cover.

Use your cover pump regularly to keep the pool cover drained, or even better an automatic pool cover pump, so you don’t have to think about it during winter. We have several automatic cover pumps, the 350 GPH Ocean Blue, the 1200 GPH Water Wizard, and the 1800 GPH AquaPro cover pump, all feature automatic shut-offs when the cover pumping is complete.

Snow Damage to Above Ground Pools

A foot of snow covering the entire surface of a 24′ round pool can weigh over 9,000 pounds. Walls may bend or bow at the weakest point, or uprights can buckle. But the biggest worry may not be wall problems, but pool liner ice damage. The weight of snow and ice on top of the remaining water in the pool increases the pressure, and can cause tiny weepers in a pool liner to open up into full-on leakers.

Now we have real problems, because when the water leaks out, it no longer supports the ice sheet above it. When the ice sheet falls suddenly, it can rip the liner or damage the pool wall.

Pool ice sheet slips and falls: Even when the water runs out beneath the block of ice, a pool ice sheet can be stuck hard to the edges around the pool, and become suspended above the water, wall to wall, with open space between the ice and the pool water. Then the ice begins to melt. Shrinking around the edges first, the ice sheet slips, and falls to the water level.

However, it won’t usually fall straight down to the water. Large sheets of ice on a pool often fall unevenly, at jagged angles to the pool wall and pool liner.

A 6″ sheet of ice on a 24′ round pool can weigh over 6 tons, and with sharp icy edges that can rip a pool liner, you can understand why this may be your largest winter worry about your above ground pool – leaking water in a pool with a large ice sheet on the surface.

Leaking Winter Pools

Water leaks are not only a nuisance in the swimming season, but they actually are much more mischievous and detrimental in the winter months. Without the water level in the pool to support the ice sheet above it, a leaking pool can be damaged from the ice sheet when it falls or shifts. Under the cover, ice will form because of freezing pool water. Ice will also form on top of the cover from snow and ice accumulation. If the pool water beneath the ice sheet was to drain out, the support for the ice is gone. In both situations, the ice will settle where gravity takes it and the only thing standing in its way is your pool walls and pool liner.

A leaking pool can also cause extensive damage to the above ground pool’s frame. While the pool is covered, if you notice the cover sinking into the pool (from a leak in the vinyl liner) and/or there is visual stress where the cover meets the top rail, we suggest releasing the cover into the pool. This will relieve the stress and tension on the cover that can cause a collapse. If you are able to detect even a slight leak during the swimming season, take every step possible to fix any leak before closing the pool.

Ice & Snow Repairs to Above Ground Pools

Wall damage may seem irreparable, and in some cases it is – but in other cases, there are methods for repairing an above ground pool damaged by snow and ice.

Since most above ground pool walls come in a continuous roll of sheet metal, you can’t usually just order a new panel, unless the damaged area is a separate stainless steel panel used for the skimmer and return, which is not very common.

Straightening Pool Walls:

You can usually straighten out most bent and buckled steel walls and uprights. All you need is lumber and a large hammer or maul. Lower the water in the pool to a point below the damage, and pull the liner away from the wall. Have a helper hold a large kicker – heavy 6×6 lumber nailed into a triangle shape, on the inside of the pool, while you hammer on the outside. Heavy blows will flatten the wall, remove the creases, and restore the wall to full height.

In cases where the pool wall is bent, bowed or buckled, you can use full wall height sheet metal pieces, ‘glued and screwed’ in place, on the inside of the wall. Duct tape the wall repair sheet edges and cover with Wall Foam, before reinstalling the pool liner.

Pool Wall Repair Panels:

The best sheet metal pieces for wall repair are called ‘Flats’, don’t bother with the 12″ wide roll sheet metal, it’s not very strong. Find a 48″ tall flat sheet of Galvanized Steel with thickness of 20-30 Gauge. Securing a full height piece is more work, but will add strength to the area, and give you better odds for a successful pool wall repair. Find these online, or at your local metal supply company.

Fixing Buckled Pool Walls:

On crumpled or bent pool walls, first bang out the bumps with the method described above, to restore the wall to full height *important*.

Skimmer holes and return holes can be drilled and cut out if needed. Secure with Liquid Nails, followed by small rivets or screws every 3″ on both sides, and then duct tape the edges. Finish with a layer of Wall Foam over the area, or around the entire pool wall.

Preventing Ice & Snow Damage

1. Always use an Air Pillow under winter pool covers.
2. If the pool leaks during winter, release the pool cover.
3. Remove snow buildup on top of the pool – carefully.
4. Use skimmer closures like Skimmer Plug, to protect your skimmer, and wall.
5. Use a good pool cover pump to keep the ice sheet thin.

This winter has been tough on above ground pools, I hope this post answered your questions about your particular situation.

Sunday: Gazelec Ajaccio vs Monaco (13:00 GMT)

Gazelec Ajaccio will be hoping to end a run of three consecutive defeats as Monaco visit the Stade Ange Casanova on Sunday afternoon. After drawing 0-0 with Troyes in their opening fixture, the hosts have since fallen to PSG, Angers and Lille, all without scoring a single goal. This match looks set to be another tough task for the newly-promoted team, although Monaco aren’t in the best of form themselves.

The visitors have won just one of the opening four league games, away at Nice on the opening weekend, and suffered a comprehensive 3-0 defeat at the hands of champions PSG in their outing. Manager Leonardo Jardim, however, will be expecting nothing less than all three points in this one though.

Sunday: Nantes vs Rennes (16:00 GMT)

Nantes will be looking to stop in-form Rennes as the two teams meet at the Stade de la Beaujoire on Sunday. The hosts have had an inconsistent start to the season, beating both Guingamp and Reims, being held to a goalless draw at Angers and, most recently, losing to Bordeaux.

The visitors, however, arrive in Nantes aiming for their fourth consecutive league victory. Since losing 2-1 away at Bastia on the opening weekend, Philippe Montanier’s men have been unstoppable, claiming all three points against Montpellier, Lyon and Toulouse. Another win this weekend will take them up to second in the table, just a point behind PSG.

Sunday: Marseille vs Bastia (20:00 GMT)

Marseille will be hoping for calmer waters this weekend as Bastia visit the Stade Velodrome. The hosts have had a wild start to the campaign, losing three of their first four fixtures and whilst new manager Michel enjoyed the perfect start to his reign with a 6-0 thrashing of Troyes, he came crashing back down to Earth a week later as Marseille returned to their dismal displays in a 2-0 loss to Guingamp. They head into this match 17th in the table. Fancy a flutter on SC Bastia tonight? Visit www.gamblingsites.org before picking your betting site.

Bastia, meanwhile, sit in sixth, with two wins to their name so far. Ghislain Printant’s men were victorious at home against both Rennes and Guingamp, but have struggled on their travels, drawing with Lorient and, in their last outing, losing 2-1 to St Etienne.
