Love this

This takes the guessing out of trying to read test strips that don’t seem to be all that reliable. I was tired of trying to read different brands of test strips done at the same time that were giving me different results. With the cost we spent on purchasing a heater for our pool, and being told our heater would be ruined in a matter of 6-12 months if the chemical balance wasn’t done properly, I decided to spent the extra money on this. Makes everything easier and is much more accurate. I really wish it came with the extender, you aren’t able to take readings from inside of the house, you have to be standing right next to the pool to get a reading. I’ve also read that battery replacement is expensive on a yearly or bi yearly basis. If you have a pool without a heater and don’t want to spend the extra money, test strips will be easy enough. If you have a heater and need the balance to be perfect, or are trying to run a hot tub this is well worth the money. Will more than likely be buying another one eventually for the hot tub.

We are so happy to read your comment. Thanks!

Works good

Works good but only lasts about 3 seasons mine stopped working was told to replace battery worked for two days and is now dead
Warranty should be way longer than one yr
And should show all the readings like the pool stick shows you

Hello, many thanks for your comment and your suggestion!

Blue riot

Awesome device. Just activated it as I have had it for almost a year. Our pool just finished installation late November.
Definitely recommend it. Takes the guess work out.

Accurate and reliable, particularly for PH

I find the Blue Riiot to be a fantastic device. I am in central Canada, yet the SigFix network works, so with that I get at least one reading a day. I have it installed in line, with the equipment being just on the other side of the wall from where I have the extender plugged in, so I get a reading every hour over wifi. I calibrate it each season and find that the PH matches the pool store perfectly, which is great since it is the PH that I want to track closely. The salt sensor is more accurate than the pool store, which can vary widely. The ORP sensor is a fantastic way to track the effectiveness of the chlorine instead of just the amount of free chlorine. My pool is crystal clear all summer even though the pool store tells me my free chlorine is less that 1 ppm. I just make sure the ORP gets into the blue range each night (salt cell chlorine generator runs during the day, add liquid chlorine when I need to after heavy use/rain) I highly recommend this product although I would be happier if the replacement parts were not so expensive.
As for the app itself, it warms you when the sensor need replacing , based on a two year time from activation. Where I live, I can only use the pool four months of the year. It would be nice if the app made replacement recommendations based on actual use. A battery life expectancy would also be helpful, based on the current voltage of the battery.

Buggy app

Product might be great but I don’t know yet as recently started using it. But app is very frustrating to use. App is showing wrong device as blue extender and it’s not getting unlinked.
On a side note, there are many messages with poor English sentences. Seems like app was not well enough thought off before launching.

Calibration

I have taken pool sample down to a very good pool shop and found that the ph is out and the chlorine levels have been out. Blueriiot said all good. So now I have to calibrate it with sachets that I can’t find.

Excellent… mais petites suggestions

Très performant et précis!

Il serait utile de pouvoir modifier les valeurs cibles pour chacun des paramètre de l’eau! Les valeurs cibles que vous proposez ne sont pas celles recommandées par le fabricant de mon spa.

Aussi il serait utile de modifier le dosage des produits chimique que vous recommandez. Entre autre, le ph- et le ph+ que vous suggérez est moins puissant que celui que je retrouve à mon magasin local.

Merci pour votre commentaire.

Blue Connect Won’t Activate

Purchased Blue Connect device but unable to activate - field technician from local distributor advised a number of units have the issue that they are unable to resolve. Similarly nothing from reseller or manufacturer. Great marketing but shame product and support don’t live up to the hype.

Unable to connect

I previously was very happy with my unit. When I had to replace it due to water getting into the unit I have been unable to connect the new unit. Very hard to access support. Purchased in first week of November. So frustrating.
