ICO Spa V2 - Smart water analyser that watches over your spa

What is ICO SPA ?

ICO Spa is a smart water analyser for spas.

Thanks to its integrated sensors, ICO measures 1 hourly analysis of pH, ORP and water temperature. For salt versions, ICO also analyses TDS (conductivity). ICO Spa is a technological solution using artificial intelligence to analyse the measurements, anticipate their variations in water, and then formulate different types of recommendations on the application. These specific, personalised recommendations to your spa, guiding you in adding the right product, in the right dosage, at the right time. ICO helps you to keep your spa water clear and healthy at all times. ICO takes into account the volume of your spa (indoor, outdoor) and the treatment products and their packing you use.

Features available on the ICO SPA application ?

The ICO App is available free of charge on Android and iOs. The application has several easy-to-use screens:

– the dashboard : summarises key information (data from the last measurement), the Water Index (water quality index with 5 colours), the battery charge level and the notification bulletin.

– the charts : available by day, week and month.

– the recommendations treatment or maintenance

- the parameters : in particular the type of disinfection, the volume of the spa and the products.

- the Share functionlets you share ICO data (measurements, recommendations) with your family or a professional so that they can easily take over while you're away.

What are the features of ICO?

What is ICO for?

ICO is a small connected island that monitors the quality of your pool water by simply placing it in the water. Ondilo has designed ICO, so that everyone can maintain their pool in complete peace of mind. ICO continuously analyses the quality of your pool water 24 hours a day and makes personalised recommendations on the right dosage of products at the right time.

ICO knows how to anticipate water variations to avoid unpleasant surprises by monitoring the weather and the behaviour of your pool.
ICO alerts you on the mobile app to best practices for simple but effective pool maintenance; treatment products and equipment.

What data does ICO use to analyse water quality?

Equipped with 3 probes, ICO continuously measures the following 4 parameters:
- The pH level
- The disinfection capacity (called the oxidation reduction ratio or ORP). ICO estimates the concentration of chlorine and other disinfectants from this parameter.
- The conductivity of the water, which makes it possible to estimate the concentration of salts and minerals (TDS)
- Water temperature

Why does ICO connect to the weather?

ICO connects to the weather and collects weather forecasts in order to anticipate possible water variations. Indeed, temperature and meteorological events (wind, rain, storms...) have an influence on water quality.
With its immediate connection to the weather, ICO warns you and sends you useful and practical notifications. This way, during strong winds, you can cover your pool in time to prevent your pool from losing a few degrees.

What are the recommendations made by ICO?

On the one hand, the first recommendations made by ICO are related to the use of disinfection and pool treatment products.
If you manually add your treatment products, you will see on your mobile app a recommendation of the right dosage (quantity), ICO guides you with the appropriate treatment product types.
If you have automatic equipment such as pH dosing pumps, electrolysers, etc., ICO will advise you on the correct use and adjustment of this equipment.

In addition, ICO also guides you towards good general practices adapted to the behaviour of your pool in order to simplify routine maintenance and protect the equipment. ICO helps you to optimise disinfection (filter washing, water balance analysis, etc.) in order to improve overall bathing comfort while limiting the maintenance budget.

Finally, ICO gives you tips on how to winterise and restart your pool.

What types of pools is ICO compatible with?

ICO is compatible with :
- the following treatment systems: Chlorine, Salt Electrolysis, Bromine
- ICO is also compatible with all types of pools, whether they are above-ground or in-ground, tiled or with a liner, reinforced membrane, etc.
