Pool water Care made easy

The pH is a measure of the acidity of the water. pH stands for Hydrogen potential or the concentration of Hydrogen ions in the water.

The pH scale goes from 0 to14, where…

• 7 is neutral.
• Below 7, the water is acidic.
• Above 7, the water is alkaline.

If your water is too acidic it can corrode your equipment, cause etching on surface materials and skin, eye, and nose irritations on swimmers; too alkaline, it can lead to scaling on your water’s surface and plumbing equipment and can cloud the water. In addition, both high acidity and high alkalinity will affect the effectiveness of your sanitizer.

Pearl Water Manager measures the pH of your water along with other parameters, to promote healthier, cleaner water, protect your equipment and provide a comfortable swimming experience.

Besides the comfort aspect, your water temperature has an impact on your water behaviour.

Warmer water can greatly affect your water chemistry. Warmer water tends to breed more bacteria and so the pool’s sanitizer gets used up faster and must be replenished more frequently. Pearl Water Manager recommended temperature ranges take into consideration both your comfort and sanitizer effectiveness to provide you with the best conditions possible.

Oxida­tion Reduc­tion Poten­tial (ORP or Redox) is a measure­ment of sani­tizer’s effec­tive­ness in water. Sani­tizer such as chlorin, salt or bromine are measured in milli­volt (mV). Most heal experts recog­nize 650mV as the minimum accept­able ORP.

Most health experts also agree that disin­fec­tion is what really matters, from a health perspec­tive; the amount of chlo­rine or bromine in your water is not neces­sarily as impor­tant as its effec­tive­ness. Pearl Water Manager measures ORP along with several other impor­tant water para­me­ters and analyses all the results. Pearl Water Manager tells you what to do next so that you have the health­iest water possible.

TDS – Total Dissolved Solid -is defined as ‘’total weight of all soluble matter in the water’’ measured in PPM (part per million) or mg/l. Soluble matter is almost anything you put your pool or spa such as sanitizer, specialty (clarifier, algaecides) and balancing chemicals (pH, Stabilizer, Alkalinity) … When too many, they can lead to oxidation of some materials or affect the effectiveness of treatments.

By measuring the soluble matter in the water, your sanitizer’s effectiveness, and other related factors, Pearl Water Manager can alert you when your TDS is too high and recommend how to correct the issue.

The BWT Pearl Water Manager measures the water temper­a­ture, the pH value, the disin­fec­tion perfor­mance (redox poten­tial) and the total dissolved parti­cles (conduc­tivity / salt / TDS). All measured values are impor­tant para­me­ters that are eval­u­ated in the back­ground via the Pearl Water Manager app and thus form the overall water quality (traffic light system in the Pearl Water Manager app). In this way, conclu­sions can be drawn about pollu­tion, hygiene (bacteria or algae) and general pool water quality.

Before you put the BWT Pearl Water Manager in the winter or put it away, it is advisable to remove all caps (pink head cover and pink perforated lower cover) and remove any residual water / condensation water using a cloth. (If you still have the black delivery caps from the packaging, you can put them back on the sensors.) Then reassemble the Pearl Water Manager. The Pearl Water Manager can now be stored at room temperature. (Caution, avoid large jumps in temperature during storage in order to preserve the battery life!)

Please only use the charging cable included with the Pearl Water Manager. In the case of third-party items, we cannot guarantee that the Pearl Water Manager will operate properly (charging).

Yes, you can leave the BWT Pearl Water Manager under the pool cover or the skimmer, as long as the Pearl Water Manager cannot be imposed, wedged or drawn into any pool components (e.g., automatic pool cover, etc.). With some pool covers or types of skimmers, there may be a loss of signal / interference during the cover period - depending on the layer thickness / material of the cover and the type of connection (Wi-Fi and / or Bluetooth). As soon as the Pearl Water Manager leaves the cover, it starts recording signals with the smartphone.

The Pearl Water Manager is protected against dust and water according to the IP68 stan­dard, i.e. the station is completely water­proof and dust­proof and is fully suit­able for conven­tional pool depths. It is impor­tant that the loading lid is correctly locked / clicked into place at the upper end of the buoy - seal on the groove - to prevent water from entering!

The battery charge lasts between 3-6 months with continuous operation and depending on the type of signal and strength, true to the motto "One Charge One Season", i.e. an entire (outdoor) pool season.

If your mobile does not have internet access (3G/4G or Wi-Fi), you will not be able to access the application. You will remain stuck at the login screen. Make sure that you are using the right username and password.

In the Settings section of your app, you can activate/deactivate your Pearl Water Manager’s notifications. If notifications are not activated on your phone, then in the settings of your phone you can activate/deactivate the notifications for your Pearl Water Manager app.
