Is it possible to leave the flipr throughout the year in the water of an outdoor pool, even during the winter season?

Flipr AnalysR 3 is an ideal companion for all pool owners. It monitors water quality in real time, maintaining clean and healthy water for swimming.

One question that comes up often is: "Can we leave Flipr in the pool all year round?"

The answer is generally yes, but there are some precautions to take to ensure that Flipr works properly and avoid any potential damage.

The Water Temperature: A Key Factor

The main consideration for leaving Flipr in the pool all year round is water temperature. Flipr is designed to operate under normal pool temperature conditions, i.e. when the water is not too cold. In general, the minimum recommended temperature for leaving Flipr in the pool is about 7°C.

Below this temperature, there is a risk that the Flipr pile will discharge quickly, which can result in an interruption in water quality monitoring. In addition, Flipr electronic circuits and probes may be damaged by extreme cold.

Note that the warranty is broken below 7°C, as the measurements recorded on our servers being authentic.

Flipr Energy Economics (Eco) and Sleep (Sleep) Mode

To extend the life of the Flipr stack and avoid any problems related to low temperatures, it is possible to set Flipr to Energy Saving (Eco) mode or Sleep mode when the pool is not used for long periods in winter.

The Energy Economy (Eco) mode allows Flipr to reduce its measurement frequency (2 measurements per day) while retaining essential monitoring functions. This saves energy while maintaining an appropriate control of water quality.

Sleep mode, meanwhile, puts Flipr in an extended standby state No measurements). In this mode, it consumes very little energy and is ideal for extended periods when the pool is not used. However, it is important to note that in this mode, Flipr does not actively monitor water quality.

Conclusion


In summary, it is quite possible to leave Flipr in the pool throughout the year, provided that the water temperature does not drop below 7°C. It is also recommended to set Flipr in Energy Saving mode (Eco) or Sleep mode when the pool is not used for long periods in winter. By following these simple tips, you can fully enjoy the benefits of Flipr throughout the year while keeping its smooth running.
