Getting started with ICO step by step

The main difference between ICO V1 and ICO V2 is the way they are switched on: ICO V1 is switched on with a button, while ICO V2 uses a USB cable. For ICO V2, to optimise probe performance, we have added a step involving probe regeneration, using a KCL solution, supplied in the packaging of your ICO.

To install and configure your ICO, watch one of the videos below, depending on the model of your device, or follow the detailed procedure. It is also important to consult the instructions for using ICO.

Here are the 5 main steps to get ICO up and running

Step 1: download and configure the ICO application

Step 2: Switch on and regenerate the ICO sensors

Stage 3: Getting ICO into the water

Step 4: connect ICO to the wifi

Stage 5: Launching the first measures

Step 1: download and configure the ICO application

Install the app

Download the application and open it on your mobile

Create a user account

Step 2: Switch on ICO and regenerate sensors

Turn on ICO

Open the top cover of your ICO using the small screwdriver provided in the Ondilo box. Remove the intermediate cover.

• If you have ICO Pool V2 or ICO Spa V2Connect the USB cable (supplied in the packaging) to the USB port. Plug the cable into the mains.
• When the LED flashes green three times, your ICO device is switched on.
• If you have ICO Pool V1 or ICO Spa V1 Press the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds. When the LED flashes green 3 times, ICO is on.

Then close ICO. When reassembling, align the notch in the cover with the keying pin on ICO to ensure a watertight seal.

Regenerate ICO V2 sensors

Follow the steps suggested in your application to regenerate your pH (blue sensor) and ORP (yellow / orange) sensors. The TDS sensor (gray) is not affected by this step.

• Unscrew the bottom part of your ICO to access the sensors.
• Pour a few drops of KCl ‘storage’ solution (included in the packaging of your ICO) into two black caps to soak the little yellow sponges inside.
• Immerse the two pH (blue) and ORP (yellow) probes in the liquid for 1 hour.
• Remove the black caps from the sensors and keep them in the packaging box, as you'll need them again during wintering.
• Validate this step at the end of the countdown.

Continue with the rest of the installation by following the instructions in the ICO application.

Step 3: Getting ICO into the water

You can now immerse ICO in water.

Click on Continue to connect your ICO to the wifi.

Step 4: connect ICO to the wifi

ICO will automatically search for networks around it

It will then suggest a list of networks. If your network does not appear in the list, click on Other network and enter your network name and security key manually.

Once a network has been selected and the wifi key entered, ICO will attempt to access the internet.

A countdown shows the possible duration of this step.

• ICO is now connected to the Wi-Fi network!

Step 5: Launching the first measures

Installation is now complete, and ICO will send you its first measurements in a few minutes.
