UWEB Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Try to find a smart Saltwater Pool Monitor via WIFI and Bluetooth, so I have all data on my Mobile. It should at least measures PH, Salinity and Chlorine. Anybody using such a Monitor and can recommend? Best would be one available in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketDog Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Great idea. I'd also like a reference for this. OP, I assume you checked Lazada, Shopee, and the other usual suspects. My local pool store has nothing. Anybody have any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBChiangRai Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I have doubts over the chemistry for this. Acid will increase conductivity, as will salt and any other kind of "salt" in the chemical definition of a salt. The only reliable way I can think of is using a chemical reaction and looking at the colour of it. So any accurate device would have to be topped up with reagents and use a colour sensor. Silver Nitrate is one of the reagents for testing salt level, I do that test, but it's one of the more complicated ones. I once bought an electronic salt measuring device, needless to say it didn't work, it simply measured conductivity and it could be anything in there that affects that.

There are some available in Europe and US, but haven't found any here in Thailand what I prefer as you still need some Calibration Fluids for the Sensors.

I have digital Salinity, PH, Free Chlorine and Alkalinity Testers, they all working fine without any problems. Test Stripes or similar are no option for me as I like advanced new Technologies.

The Ondillo mentioned above is more than 6 times as expensive. And this does not even include shipping from Germany and Import Tax - which might inflate the price much more further.

The price is not a criteria for me, I'm more interested in technical details and if somebody is using such a Monitor already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwebb8825 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 If cost isn't an issue, here's a search I did from the states: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=pool+monitor+with+a+smartphone If the results come up for you the same as they did for me you might find what you're looking for.
