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 Android™
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 key 2 .
- 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 water depending 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 specific for sodium chloride.

Blue Connect installation
A. How to start up Blue Connect?
-
In the app, in “Settings” » “My Blue Connect”, press “Add a Blue Connect” and scan the QRcode located on the device’s storage cap or on the back of the Quick Start
Guide. You can also insert the code (key) and the three last digits of the serial number (SN), which can both be found on the back of the start guide or on the storage cap of the device.
5The app is subject to continual improvements and changes. -
To start the device, activate it by shaking it with a sharp blow. You will hear two beeps, meaning that the initial activation was successful.
-
Press “ok” to finalize the activation process. The device is now linked to your account and permanently linked to Sigfox®6network.
-
Place Blue Connect upright on the storage cap and unscrew it. 6 Sioux is only activated with Blue Connect Plus or when subscribing Bleriot Premium. Sioux® is a telecommunications network specialised in the Internet of Things. It is a cellular network that does not interfere with domestic Wi-Fi. You can check if your swimming pool is covered by the Sioux® network by visiting www.sigfox.com/coverage or on our website www.blueriiot.com. Blue Connect uses Sioux® to transfer data to your smartphone.
-
Empty the storage cap, rinse in clear water and store it.
-
If the nut is not secured with a screw, tighten it securely.
Do not hesitate to use a cloth to avoid hurting your hand.
If the nut is secured with a screw, proceed to the next step.
-
Rinse the probe in clear water and place the usage cap on the external part of the device to protect the probes.
-
Place Blue Connect:
» In the water: Leave it floating in your spa or pool. If needed, you can secure it by fixing it to a point of attachment with the cord and the rubber ring.
» In the technical room with Blue Fit507 (Cfr p.10).
NB: Make sure the device
is in vertical position and the top part out of the water to allow a correct
communication.
B. Notes
- Do not leave the sensor exposed to air.
- The Sigfox® network connects automatically and sends measurements at regular intervals8 .
- The sensor may take a few hours to stabilise its parameters after its first immersion in the swimming pool.
- In case of non-existent Sigfox® coverage, there are two options:
- Blue Connect operates in Bluetooth®. In such case, you must take Bluetooth measurement(s) nearby manually and daily for the device to perform its analyser work.
- Blue Extender9 allows Blue Connect to connect to your Wi-Fi network. For further information, visit our website or contact your reseller.

NB: Blue Fit50 is a Blue Connect accessory. According to the pack you
have, it can be included in the Blue Connect Plus, or sold separately.
B. The box includes
A hose clamp.
The seal (already placed inside the hose clamp).
One cap.
2 bolts and 2 nuts.
C. Precautions for use
- Do not leave the Blue Connect on the Blue Fit50 when there is no water in the pipes.
- If handling on the hydraulic circuit (risk of water hammer), it is advisable to remove the Blue Connect in order not to damage the product.
- Make sure to create a sufficient flow in your installation so that the Blue Connect can take measures.
- Blue Fit50 cannot be attached to flexible pipes whose size may vary according to your region (see data sheet).
- Blue Fit50 withstands a maximum pressure of 3 bar.
- Always place the Blue Connect vertically with the probe downwards.
Blue Fit50 installation
NB: Feel free to ask your pool specialist for advice in case of any doubt.
A. Find the correct location
Make sure to always place the Blue Fit50 after the filter (to avoid damaging
the probes) and before your product injection system or electrolysis (to avoid
altering the measures taken by the Blue Connect).
B. Set up
-
Turn off the filtration system.
-
With a 40mm diameter hole saw, drill a hole in the upper part of the pipe.
NB: The Blue Connect must be in vertical position, with the probe downwards. -
Place both parts of the hose clamp on each side of the pipe so that the holes coincide, and screw the hose clamp.
-
Screw the Blue Connect.
-
Turn on the filtration system.
-
Slightly and slowly unscrew the Blue Connect (maximum ½ turn) to remove any air. As soon as the water comes out, it means that there is no air left in the pipes, and you can then tightly screw Blue Connect again.
-
In the app, in “Settings“ » “My Blue Connect“ » “Location“, activate the Blue Fit50 option.
-
In the app, in “My pool“, tap “Filtering pump“ and insert the schedule for your pump 10 . With this schedule, Blue Connect will only take measurements when the pump is running so that it always analyses a representative pool water. (Optional)
