5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Placing the Monitor
Once paired, gently place the Smart Pool Monitor into your pool or spa. It is designed to float and continuously monitor the water quality. Ensure the probes are fully submerged.
5.2. Real-time Monitoring via App
Open the Tuya Smart App on your smartphone to view real-time data from your pool monitor. The app displays all 7 parameters: Temperature, TDS, EC, Free Chlorine, Salt, pH, and ORP.

5.4. Data Export
You can export historical data reports from the Tuya Smart App. This feature allows you to track trends over time and share information as needed for detailed analysis of your pool's water quality.
6. Calibration
Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your Smart Pool Monitor. The device comes with calibration powders for pH and ORP. Always follow the instructions carefully.
6.1. pH Calibration
- Open the protective cover of the probe. Rinse the probe with purified water.
- Prepare the pH 7.00 buffer solution according to its instructions.
- Put the meter into the pH 7.00 solution. Shake gently and wait until the reading is stable.
- Press "CAL" on the Tuya Smart App and confirm the pH 7.00 calibration.
- Repeat the process for pH 4.00 and pH 10.01 solutions if a three-point calibration is desired or required for specific acidity/alkalinity. The order depends on the item you measure: Acidic (7.00 -> 4.00 pH) or Alkaline (7.00 -> 10.01 pH).

6.2. ORP/CL Calibration
- Prepare the 222mV ORP buffer solution according to its instructions. Pour it into a cup with a large opening.
- Put the ORP probe into the 222mV calibration solution.
- Press "CAL" on the Tuya Smart App.
- Adjust the value to "222" using the '+' or '-' buttons on the app.
- Complete the ORP calibration.

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chlorine (CL) value reads 0.0 mg/L | pH or ORP levels are outside the required range for accurate chlorine measurement. | Ensure pH is within 6.5-8.0 and ORP is within 487-840 mV. Adjust pool chemistry as needed. |
| Monitor not connecting to app/gateway | Bluetooth/Location permissions disabled, monitor not in pairing mode, or too far from gateway. | Check app permissions. Press the monitor's power button to enter pairing mode. Move monitor closer to the gateway. Ensure gateway is powered and connected to Wi-Fi. |
| Inaccurate readings | Probes are dirty, damaged, or require calibration. | Clean the probes thoroughly. Perform a full calibration for pH and ORP. If issues persist, inspect probes for damage. |
| Battery not charging | Insufficient sunlight for solar charging, or USB cable/port issue. | Ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight. Try charging via USB. Check USB cable and port for damage. |
