Double-click the button with the WiFi/Bluetooth icon to turn on Bluetooth. As a result of this double-click the color of the Bluetooth icon in the upper left corner will change from white to green!

Please note that double pressing the Bluetooth button must be done at the moment when the device screen displays ZERO or TEST or SINGLE. In case the displays shows a phone and the tester after double pressing the WiFi/Bluetooth button, you need to press the Zero button once to return to the previous menu, and then repeat a very quick double press of the Bluetooth button to turn on Bluetooth! The Bluetooth icon needs to light in green

The measuring sources must be actively selected and transferred.
To do this, tap the Bluetooth button on the PoolWaterLAB twice to switch on Bluetooth (symbol in the status bar lights up green), start the LabCOM app and connect the app to the PoolWaterLAB via the Connect button.
In the menu that then appears in the app, tap on the wrench next to the measurement sources and place a check mark next to the measurement sources (maximum 20) that are to be transferred to the PoolWaterLAB. Please take a look on tutorial video.

• This might happen if an update is interrupted, such as through power loss or disconnection from WiFi.
• Keep the device turned on for approximately 2 to 2.5 minutes to allow it to restore itself.
• Following this duration, the device should restart normally.

• The WiFi process is divided into various stages:
   1. An orange blinking WiFi icon signifies that the device is attempting to connect to WiFi.
   2. A blue blinking WiFi icon indicates successful WiFi connection and the device carrying out its online routine:
      a. Uploading measurements (provided you've set up a cloud account and sampling point(s) on the device)
      b. Downloading linked sampling points (provided you've set up a cloud account and sampling point(s) on the device)
      c. Checking for updates
-> If updates are available, an update dialogue will be displayed
      d. On completion of all tasks, a "check icon" will blink.

• Log into your cloud account in the LabCom app.
• Connect PoolWaterLAB to the app using Bluetooth.
• Tap the wrench symbol in the "connected cloud account" field.
• Finally, tap the "send to PoolWaterLAB" button.

• Connect PoolWaterLAB to the app via Bluetooth.
• Tap the wrench icon within the "sampling points" field.
• Choose your desired sampling points.
• Tap the "send to PoolWaterLAB" button.
Note: Remember to repeat these steps if you're not logged into your cloud account in the app, as this will need to be done before you can utilize the WiFi cloud feature on your PoolWaterLAB.

In LabCOM's app/software/web application, the active chlorine calculator is based on J. O'Brien's work, which also is used by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Detailed information about this calculation methodology can be found in the USEPA calculator documentation at:
 • https://usepaord.shinyapps.io/cyanuric/
The listed formulas in the documentation are all derived from O'Brien's work and have been extensively reprocessed.
This system provides an almost identical concentration of HOCl as the LabCOM active chlorine calculator, but the cyanuric acid (CYA) setting of the USEPA calculator is limited to a maximum of 10mg/l.
To better understand the subject of cyanuric acid setting it is recommended to read the following article which covers the subject in a well understandable manner:
 • https://blog.orendatech.com/minimal-cya-pillar-4

CYA is only available in the middle measurement chamber, therefore it can’t be selected in the left and right chambers.
Certain parameters are only measurable within the middle chamber, and thus, can only be selected from the T2 list.
The parameters restricted to the middle chamber include:
 • 6–CH Calcium Hardness
 • 12–CYA Cyanuric Acid
 • 22–PPHR Phosphate HR
 • 23–POT Potassium
 • 24–SULF Sulfate

The pH liquid method doesn't necessitate a countdown because it operates without any suspended particles in the water. Therefore, once you have adequately stirred the reagent, you can proceed directly to the measurement by pressing the 'Test' button. This action serves as your confirmation, and the method will measure without a countdown.

No, it isn't a requirement to measure three parameters at once. You have the flexibility to measure any combination of 1 to 3 parameters. However, bear in mind that some parameters can only be measured independently and others are exclusively measurable in the middle chamber. As such, not all combinations are feasible. This is outlined in more detail for each parameter in the User-Manual.

No, it isn't mandatory to use the WiFi feature of PoolWaterLAB. You also have the option to set sampling points and transfer measurement data via Bluetooth using the LabCom app. In addition, device updates can be performed through Bluetooth, although they may take slightly longer compared to updates performed via WiFi.

Due to the absence of suspended particles generated by liquid reagents that need to "settle" before measurement to prevent interference with the light beam, there is no need for a waiting period or countdown in these procedures. Once the TEST key is pressed, the measurement is promptly initiated, and the result is immediately displayed.

If you encounter an error after entering a 32-character WiFi password into the PoolWaterLAB, it cannot be resolved. Kindly contact (info@poolwaterlab.us) to arrange for a replacement device. Before connecting the replacement device to a WiFi network, please ensure to update it via Bluetooth.

To prevent your PoolWaterLAB from automatically shutting down during the necessary waiting period, we recommend connecting your PoolWaterLAB to the LabCOM app and adjusting the auto-off time to a minimum of 800 seconds (The device is programmed to automatically shut down after a default duration of 5 minutes (300 seconds)).

• Quick Guide: Find detailed instructions on how to connect your PoolWaterLAB with the LabCOM app in the quick guide.
• Manuals: Refer to specific pages (Calcium Hardness (6–CH): page 73, Nitrate (16–NTRA): page 127, Urea (26–UREA): page 177) in user manual for step-by-step instructions.
All the necessary instructions can be downloaded from this webpage (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0549/9525/5479/files/PoolWaterLAB_WATER_TESTER_Manual_US-DE-ES-FR.pdf?v=1682607329).

Note: Please note that the required waiting time for Calcium Hardness is 10 minutes, for Nitrate it is 10 minutes, and for Urea it is 5 minutes.

This means that the value of this parameter is above the measuring range of the tester, dilute the measured sample with clean tap water 50/50 and retest.
