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.
