ICO "Inconsistant measures" recommendation

In your ICO application, you have received a “Inconsistent measurements” notification and recommendation. This means that the last measurements you took gave abnormal results. Here's a more detailed explanation of this message and how to remedy it.

"Inconsistent measures” notification

When measurements are inconsistent, you will receive this notification. Please click to access the recommendation to find out more.

" Inconsistent measures” recommendation

This recommendation appears when ICO detects a problem that can be linked to two different elements: probe cleanliness or water alkalinity. When you click on the 3 small dots in the top right-hand corner of the recommendation, ICO explains in detail.

Check sensor status

Sensor cleanliness: remove the bottom cover to check that your sensors are clean. If not (presence of greasy film, slight mold, leaf debris, etc.): without unscrewing them from your ICO, clean them very carefully using clear water. You can use your fingers or a soft sponge to lightly scrub if really necessary. Once you've screwed the bottom cover back on, quickly put your ICO back in the water.

Check water alkalinity

It is necessary to check the alkalinity of your pool because a TAC too high or too low may disturb the pH measurements. This can cause measurement inconsistencies (significant oscillations between two measurements). To know the alkalinity of your pool water, you can use strips or get closer to your specialist pool with a sample of water. For a balanced water, the TAC should be between 80 and 150 ml/l. It will advise you on the actions to take to correct the TAC if necessary.

Once the checks have been made, don't forget to click on done to declare the recommendation complete.
