## What is BECSys Now!?

BECSys Now! provides an easy way for pool owners and operators to monitor the status of their BECSys Controllers 24/7. An unlimited number of BECSys controllers can be monitored using BECSys Now!
 
A BECSys controller is added to BECSys Now! either by entering a Serial Number and Authentication Code via EZConnect (on BECSys controllers with a Gbit Ethernet board and EZConnect enabled) or by entering the controller IP Address. BECSys Now! will proceed to establish a connection with the controller, download some identifying information from the controller, and add it to the Controllers list.

Connections established utilizing EZConnect for secure access are indicated with a padlock security icon.
 
The status of each controller will be indicated by
·         Blue Check Mark – Controller is not in alarm
·         Red Exclamation Point – Controller is in alarm
·         Yellow Question Mark – Connection to controller lost
Controllers in Alarm are sorted to the top, followed by lost connections.
 
Specific Readings and Alarms can be viewed by selecting a controller from the list.
 
The status of any controller can be refreshed from the Controller Status screen, or the status of all controllers can be refreshed from the main Controllers screen.
 
Global Settings allow the operator to configure:
·         Lost Connection criteria
·         Date Format
·         US/Metric Units
·         Conductivity Units
·         Vacuum Units
 
The BECSys Now! App is compatible with BECSy5, BECSys7, and BECSysBW controllers with firmware v1.26 or higher. BECSys Now! is also compatible with communications capable BECSys2 and BECSys3 controllers.

### 2/5 — New update no good

*2023-08-16, version 3.11.00*

App no longer works after updating. Crashes every time

### 5/5 — Have all your pools current readings!

*2020-06-25, version 3.11.00*

It’s great to have all the current readings of your Commerical Pools at your fingertips. You stay in touch with out being on location.Worldwide connectivity to all your pools.

### 1/5 — What a waste

*2019-04-13, version 3.11.00*

Why have an app when you can’t change or modify anything. What a waste. Update it already. Have same access as the BECSys for windows.

### 2/5 — THIS APP HAS POTENTIAL

*2018-06-19, version 3.11.00*

Here is what we need!! 

* Customizable Alerts for pressure and levels. 

* Automatic refresh when opening the app. 

* PUSH NOTIFICATIONS for alarms

### 1/5 — BECSYs issues

*2016-04-12, version 3.0*

This app needs to be updated to allow remote changes to be made. Simply having a app that shows you stuff without being able to change it remotely seems like a waste. Make it like the desktop version where changes can be made, alarms turned off, ph and chlorine turned off and on.

### 1/5 — Update doesn't work

*2015-02-25, version 2.4.1*

Works fine on PC and my other tablet but not on anything Apple

### 1/5 — Great, now i lost all my info

*2015-02-13, version 2.4*

Updated the becsys app, lost all my controllers info. And now with the update i cant load my controllers, so this updAte is useless.

### 1/5 — Crashes Now

*2014-03-01, version 2.3*

With the new update the app crashes on my I-pad. 
 I am unable to add multiple controllers using the same ip address. Kinda defeats the purpose of the app if you have more than 1 controller. It is 100% an apple app issue, using a PC and Samsung device I was able to see both of my controllers.

### 5/5 — The perfect fit!!

*2013-09-02, version 2.2*

This is an amazing app!! It is exactly what I needed and was looking for!!

### 3/5 — BECS Review

*2013-03-18, version 2.0*

Nice to see the pool water chemistry control industry finally taking advantage of current technology to remote monitor  controllers. 
ORP, pH, & temp readings displayed correctly after a refresh . PPM reading did not display correctly more than 75% of time. When controller reading is 1.53 ppm, the iPhone app displayed 4.28 ppm, even though the other parameters displayed correctly, and there were no high chlorine alarms that would be triggered at this level. This makes me unsure if I can trust the other readings. 
Also, it would be nice to see pH displayed to .01 the same way pH is displayed on my BECSys5 display, and on my computer's remote monitor display
