To begin with, the Alexians explain the product's features and then explain each sensor. They then set about installing the product and comparing the ICO measurements with the colorimetric strips.
After several days of use, the Alexians have drawn a number of conclusions about ICO.
The strengths of ICO Spa :
Alexians first praise its accuracy, with relevant measurements and clear recommendations based on sensor data and the weather. They point out that the ICO can reduce the consumption of maintenance products by providing appropriate preventive treatments, thereby improving the health of spa water.
They consider the ICO application to be truly comprehensive. "You even have the option of selecting the size of pebbles, the brand, etc., that you use in order to refine the recommendations for the island".
The weaknesses of ICO Spa :
However, there are a few weak points. Initial installation can be tricky, particularly when it comes to entering pairing mode. In addition, dealing with network loss can be problematic, sometimes requiring manual reconnection or even a device reset. Finally, they suggest improvements for connected assistants, in particular for Skill Alexa, which could offer more functionality, and for Google Home, which does not yet have an extension.
Despite these points, Les Alexiens believes that the ICO provides valuable services, in particular thanks to its intuitive colour coding for water quality, and that it deserves to be recommended for optimised spa management.
