To protect your Blue Connect analyzer during the winter season, you should put it in standby mode and store it properly when it’s time to close your pool.

 

🧊 When to Winterize

It’s generally recommended to winterize your pool once the water temperature drops below 12°C.

💧 Why It’s Important

Following a few simple steps will help extend the life of your Blue Connect and keep the sensors in good condition. 

 

 

🛠️ Steps to Activate Standby Mode

1. Remove the analyzer from the pool and take off the usage cap.

2. Rinse the storage cap with clean water and wipe it dry.

3. Enable Bluetooth and an internet connection (Wi-Fi or 4G) on your smartphone. 💡 Stay close to your Blue Connect during the entire standby process.

 

4. In the Blueriiot app, go to
Settings → My Analyzer → Put Blue Connect in standby mode.

5. Fill the storage cap with pH 4 calibration solution (recommended), KCl, pool water, or as a last resort, tap water mixed with a good amount of table salt. Then, screw the cap back onto the analyzer.

6. Confirm standby mode in the app and store the analyzer in a frost-free location.

 

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Never store the sensor dry — this will damage it permanently.
  • Do not store the device below 5°C — low temperatures may damage the electronics and invalidate your warranty.

By following these steps, your Blue Connect will stay in great condition and be ready to use when pool season returns.
