Maintaining Your Pool Water Quality With Blue Connect

Owning a swimming pool can elevate your household environment and can bring together your loved ones for the warmer seasons. Just like putting together a backyard pool barbeque, maintaining the water quality of your swimming pool will require some effort to make sure your pool is party-ready. 

AstralPool’s Blue Connect Smart Pool Analyser can assist you with your pool maintenance and leave you worrying only about being the perfect party host. 

What is Blue Connect Smart Pool Analyser?

Blue Connect is a smart pool device with an in-built water quality sensor combined with smart algorithms that mix water, weather, and user data to help maintain the wellness of your pool.  

It’s designed to be adaptable to all types of pools and can be installed within minutes. It’s easily connected to your phone through a smartphone app to provide you with the needed communication via notifications.  The device alerts you when it identifies any fault in the parameters of the water.  It further provides step-by-step instructions to be followed in the app to regulate and stabilise the faulty parameter to maintain the water quality. This connectivity allows you to monitor your pool throughout the day, regardless of your location.

Top Features of Blue Connect Plus Smart Pool Analyser include:

• Quick Installation 
• All-in-one Innovative Smart Sensor
• Reads pool water information up to 20x per day
• BlueConnect App & Cloud Connectivity with either Bluetooth, SigFox or Wifi (needs 'blue extender' for Wifi option)
• Step-by-Step Assistant for Water Purification
• Virtual Pool Care platform for pool professionals  

Let’s take a closer look at each of these features:

1. Quick Installation

Blue Connect can be activated and installed in minutes:

1. Download the free Blue Connect app from Apple or Android app store.
2. Create an account and configure your pool. 
3. Connect and activate your Blue Connect
4. Make sure your pool water is in balance before placing your Blue Connect in the pool (It can either float in the pool or in your skimmer box, or be installed inline on a 50mm pipe with the Blue Fit50. We recommend the latter as it gives you more accurate readings)
5. Your Blue Connect is good to go!

2. All-in-one Innovative Smart Sensor

The Blue Connect device has a cutting edge microchip embedded inside it that uses intelligent algorithms to measure your pool’s water condition.  The device analyses the water parameters and sends back the insights directly to your phone via push notifications.

The sensor measures:

1. The temperatures range from 5°C to 50°C (Precision: +/- 0,2 °C)
2. The pH level of the water from 0-14 (Precision: +/- 0,1)
3. Conductivity of water from 250 to 15,000 μS/cm (Precision : +/-10%)
4. Salt levels of the water.
5. Chemicals required to maintain the balance of water. 
6. Gold Tip ORP/Redox levels of the water from 0 to 999 mV (Precision: +/- 20 mV)

3. BlueConnect App & Cloud Connectivity

The BlueConnect connects to your phone via *Sigfox wireless transmission and stays connected 24/7. This cloud connectivity allows you to monitor the health of your pool effortlessly via your BlueConnect app. 

*What is Sigfox?: Sigfox has a network of antennas available worldwide with coverage available in most areas. Out of the box, the device will attempt to use Sigfox wireless transmissions automatically. Connection costs to the Sigfox network are included in the RRP of the device. For areas with low or no Sigfox coverage,  you can use a Blue extender to connect the device. 

4. Step-by-Step Assistant for Water Purification

Blue Connect makes treating the faults found in your pool simple. The device notifies you on your phone via push notifications whenever it finds a fault in any of the parameters of the pool.  You can correct the problem by using the guided instructions given to you by your Blue Connect app.

5. Virtual Pool Care platform for pool professionals 

Virtual Pool is an online platform that enables pool professionals to link all Blue Connect Plus devices in a central location that can be monitored easily. It helps pool service businesses to remotely monitor their customers' pools to ensure that they stay clean and healthy. 

Just like in the app, Virtual Pool care shows the most recent values for Temperature, pH, ORP and Salinity. With the Blue Connect devices connected and a Virtual Pool Care account set up, your pool shop would be able to monitor the overall condition of your pool and perform accurate and professional diagnostics.

BlueConnect Plus App vs. Blue Connect App

Available in the Blue Connect range by AstralPool are the Blue Connect and Blue Connect Plus, but what sets these two apart? 

The Blue Connect does not feature the BlueFit50 or Pro-Remote Assistance, but the app is where you see all the difference.

The Blue Connect Smart Pool Analyser is a blessing for pool owners as they no longer have to be in charge of taking care of their pool. This functional Blue Connect device is alone enough to keep your pool healthy and balanced. You may get in touch with our AstralPool team to get additional information on our products.
