Furthermore, the system offers valuable feedback and recommendations to effectively manage water chemistry, including chlorine, pH, and salt levels, optimizing the water quality for various applications.
The FreshWater Start-Up Kit is exactly what you need to get the Smart Monitoring System set up in your Highlife, Limelight, Utopia or Paradise series hot tub from Watkins Wellness. The start-up kit comes with the controller and the sensor which are both needed to operate the monitoring system. The controller does not need to be replaced, unless damaged.
