LittleStarlet. The smallest BINDER, built like the biggest.
LittleStarlet is the compact counter-current turbine — a 25 cm × 40 cm body that runs on a standard 230 V / 8 A socket and delivers 180 m³/h of continuously adjustable flow, silently. It's designed for both new and existing pools, and because it's plug-and-play, it can go places the built-in models can't — including into the staircase of your pool. Elegant, timeless, and controllable from your phone over the BINDER24 app.

Plug-and-play
Why LittleStarlet.
Compact, not compromised.
Ø 25 cm × 40 cm. Continuously adjustable from trickle to 180 m³/h — a single wide setting range instead of stepped levels, so you pick the exact resistance you want and hold it there.
Truly plug-and-play.
Standard 230 V / 8 A household supply. DIY-friendly retrofit. Flexible placement — staircase installation is possible, which opens it up to pool geometries the built-in models can't serve.
Quiet, lit, app-controlled.
Silent operation. Integrated LED ring for atmospheric light around the outflow. Full control over the BINDER24 iOS/Android app — intensity slider, custom training programs, lighting colours.
What's in the body.
BINDER does not publish a fixed minimum pool length for LittleStarlet. Suitability depends on pool geometry and intended use — we'll tell you honestly whether your pool is a fit before you order.
Small pools. Oddly shaped pools. Pools with a staircase. Spas.
The compact body and plug-and-play installation mean LittleStarlet fits where built-in and bracket-mount systems can't. For staircase installations, the unit integrates into a step. For existing pools, it's a DIY retrofit. For new builds, it's an elegant, low-profile alternative when the full HydroStar is more turbine than the pool needs.
Controlled from your phone. Runs like an appliance.
LittleStarlet is controlled over the BINDER24 mobile app (iOS and Android). From your phone you can adjust the current strength with a slider, build and save custom training programs (custom step times and intensity levels), and control the atmospheric LED lighting. The app connects over your home network — both the control unit and your phone on the same network, no cloud dependency for basic operation.
A few honest answers.
Is it fast enough for real training?+
At 180 m³/h continuously adjustable, it's meant for training, fitness and wellness — adjustable from a gentle flow to a resistance suitable for lap-style swimming. If your goal is competitive-level training in a larger pool, HydroStar BGA 275 and up is the better fit.
Can I install it myself?+
Yes — LittleStarlet is designed as a DIY retrofit. Standard 230 V / 8 A socket, bracket mount, cable routing. If your installation is a staircase integration in a new pool, we recommend coordinating with your pool builder.
Does it work with the same accessories as HydroStar?+
It's controlled from the BINDER24 app and has its own integrated LED ring. The BOB touchscreen control panel and PolySchacht polymer housing are specific to HydroStar / EasyStar built-in and retrofit models — not LittleStarlet.
