Introduction
A. Overview
Blue Connect is a connected device for pool or spa water
analysis (manual or automatic). The results of this analysis are
then communicated to you on the “Blueriiot“ app (available on
smartphone and tablet, compatible with AndroidTM and iOS). If the
device detects that one of the parameters is incorrect, the app
provides you with the instructions to follow to regulate and stabilize
this parameter in order to maintain a healthy and balanced water.
Blue Connect measures the following:
» Water temperature (°C, °F): An elevated temperature reduces
the efficiency of disinfectant product and promotes the
development of microorganisms.
» pH (hydrogen potential): this value measures the acidic or basic
character of a medium. pH contributes to the effectiveness of
the disinfectant.
» ORP/REDOX (measurement of active chlorine in mV): The ORP
measure is reflected in milli-volts (mV). The measurement taken
by the ORP probe of your Blue Connect is a voltage expressed
in milli-volts (mV), which represents the more or less oxidizing
nature of the water.
» Conductivity1(μS): Measurement of the concentration of
inorganic salts in the water by the ability of the latter to conduct
electricity.
1Conductivity is measured only with Blue Connect Plus. For salt pools, salinity
(more precisely the total salt content) is measured on the conductivity basis.
The salinity measured by the Blue Connect is expressed in grams per liter (g/L)
of TDS (Total Dissolved Solids). This is an estimate of the total amount of […]

B. Precautions for use
» Do not use Blue Connect for anything other than water analysis.
» Blue Connect is not a toy. Avoid shocks as they may damage it.
» Keep Blue Connect out of reach of children when handling it
(e.g. calibration and standby) due to the use of chemicals. Store
calibration products out of reach of children.
» Do not open the top part of the device (except when replacing
the battery). Follow carefully the battery replacement
instructions. Damage caused by liquids is not covered by the
warranty.
» Do not open the bottom part of the device containing the probe
(except when replacing the probe). Follow carefully the probe
replacement instructions. Damage caused by liquids is not
covered by the warranty.
» Make sure not to leave the probe out of the water. If you need
to take the device out of the pool, screw it on storage cap with
KCl (saturated potassium chloride), or pH4, or as a last resort,
running water with a good amount of cooking salt as the probe
should not be left dry.
» Do not use demineralized water in the storage cap.
» Make sure the top part of the unit is out of the water to allow the
communication system to work.
» Do not leave Blue Connect in water with a temperature below
5°C or above 50°C.
» Keep the Blue Connect serial number and key2.
» Transport and store Blue Connect vertically and sheltered from
frost.
1[…] dissolved species in the pool, based on the assumption that the main
species is sodium chloride (NaCl or cooking salt). Sodium chloride increases
the conductivity of your pool waterdepending on its concentration. An estimate
of the sodium chloride level based on the conductivity will deviate even more
if other unknown salts are present in the water. This deviation can be checked
using colorimetric detection strips specic for sodium chloride.

Introduction
A. Présentation
Blue Connect est un appareil connecté d’analyse d’eau (manuelle
ou automatique) de piscine ou de spa. Les résultats de ces
analyses vous sont ensuite communiqués sur l’application
“Blueriiot” (disponible sur smartphone et tablette, compatible
Android™ et iOS). Si l’appareil détecte que l’un des paramètres
est incorrect, l’application vous donne les consignes à suivre pour
réguler et stabiliser ce paramètre an de maintenir une eau saine et
équilibrée.
Blue Connect mesure :
» La température de l’eau (°C,°F) : une température trop élevée
réduit l’efficacité du produit désinfectant et favorise le
développement de micro-organismes.
» Le pH : le pH est l’abréviation de potentiel hydrogène. Cette
grandeur mesure le caractère acide ou basique d’un milieu. Le
pH participe à l’efficacité du désinfectant.
» L’ORP / REDOX (mesure du chlore actif en mV) : la mesure ORP
est représentée en milli-volts (mV). La mesure relevée par la
sonde ORP du Blue Connect est une tension expirmée en milli-
volts (mV) qui représente le caractère plus ou moins oxydant de
l’eau.
» La conductivité1(μS) : Mesure de la concentration en sels
inorganiques dans l’eau par l’aptitude de celle-ci à conduire de
l’électricité.
1La conductivité est mesurée seulement avec Blue Connect Plus. Pour les
piscines au sel, la salinité (plus précisément le taux de sels total) est mesurée
sur base de la conductivité. La mesure de la salinité renseignée par le […]

B. Précautions d’emploi
» N’utilisez pas Blue Connect pour autre chose que l’analyse d’eau.
» Blue Connect n’est pas un jouet. Evitez de lui faire subir des
chocs au risque de l’endommager.
» Gardez Blue Connect hors de portée des enfants lors de la ma-
nipulation de celui-ci (ex : calibration et mise en veille) pour des
raisons d’utilisation de produits chimiques. Stockez les produits
de calibration hors de portée des enfants.
» N’ouvrez pas la partie supérieure de l’appareil (sauf lors du
remplacement de la batterie). Suivez scrupuleusement les
consignes de changement de batterie. Les dégâts causés par
des liquides ne sont pas couverts par la garantie.
» N’ouvrez pas la partie inférieure de l’appareil qui contient la
sonde (sauf lors du remplacement de la sonde). Suivez scrupu-
leusement les consignes de changement de sonde. Les dégâts
causés par des liquides ne sont pas couverts par la garantie.
» Assurez-vous de ne pas laisser la sonde à sec. Si vous sortez
l’appareil de l’eau, vous devez le visser sur le socle de stockage
avec du KCl (chlorure de potassium saturé) ou du pH4 ou, en
dernier recours, de l’eau courante avec une bonne dose de sel
de cuisine.
» N’utilisez pas d’eau déminéralisée dans le socle de stockage.
» Assurez-vous que la partie supérieure de l’appareil soit hors
de l’eau pour permettre le fonctionnement du système de
communication.
» Transportez et stockez stocker Blue Connect à la verticale et à
l’abri du gel.
1[…] Blue Connect est exprimée en grammes par litre (g/L) de TDS (« Total
Dissolved Solids »). Il s’agit d’une estimation de la quantité totale d’espèces
dissoutes dans la piscine, basée sur l’hypothèse que l’espèce principale est le
chlorure de sodium (NaCl ou sel de cuisine). Le chlorure de sodium augmente
la conductivité de l’eau de votre piscine en fonction de sa concentration. Une
estimation du taux de chlorure de sodium basée sur la conductivité déviera
d’autant plus si d’autres sels inconnus sont présents dans l’eau. Cette déviation
peut être vériée en utilisant des bandelettes de détection colorimétriques
spéciques au chlorure de sodium.
