ICO, the eco-responsible smart water analyser made in France

Did you know that ICO is designed and manufactured in France?

In this article, we'll look at the design and manufacturing process in France that brings ICO to life. We'll also look at how ICO combines technology and sustainability, while helping to preserve the environment and generating savings for its users.

ICO, designed and manufactured in France

Ondilo is headquartered in Saint-Cannat, near Aix-en-Provence, where all the design and testing for ICO is carried out.

Indeed, Ondilo's dedicated research and development team engages in a rigorous process, including the creation of detailed plans, the production of prototypes, the careful selection of materials, the development of the cloud and the application, as well as the firmware. This agile R&D organisation is supported by an expert technical team with proven skills in electronic, mechanical and IT mechatronics. It is responsible for developing new products and upgrading existing ones, managing the entire process from design through to industrialisation.

To manufacture our ICO range, we have developed several partnerships, including plastics processing, assembly and resin-coating carried out in the Rhône-Alpes and PACA regions. This has enabled us to create direct and indirect jobs in the south-east of France. This created local jobs while keeping manufacturing costs under control and reducing our impact on the environment.

ICO, an eco-responsible product

At Ondilo, sustainable development is one of our commitments. The ICO range embodies this ecological vision by meeting precise specifications. We have designed our range of products using robust materials to optimise their lifespan, thereby promoting responsible consumption. What's more, our manufacturing process, carried out in France, reinforces our commitment to the local economy and limits our carbon footprint.

To guarantee the durability of our products, we have incorporated replaceable components such as the probes and electronic box, allowing easy maintenance and extending the life of our devices.

As part of our eco-responsible approach, we have also adopted digital media, avoiding the printing of superfluous documents in packaging. We do our utmost to ensure that essential information is accessible via our application or our website, thereby reducing our environmental impact.

Building on this momentum, since July 2023, a refurbished version of ICO Pool is available on the Ondilo store, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective option for users concerned about their environmental footprint.

ICO reduces the impact of your pool/spa on the environment

Thanks to our ICO connected water analyser, Ondilo is revolutionising the way water quality is maintained in swimming pools and spas, simplifying management and reducing environmental impact. On the one hand, optimising water quality limits consumption and restricts the use of chemicals thanks to the precise dosages recommended by ICO. On the other hand, control of filtration time contributes to a significant reduction in electricity consumption.

What's more, ICO doesn't require any additional subscription or pay-as-you-go option, and works over your WiFi network.
