Why does WaterGuru Sense Measure Now take up to 12 minutes to complete?

When you tap Measure Now in the App, the following message will appear:

Measure Now?

It takes approximately 12 minutes for a measurement when you are in Bluetooth range of the WaterGuru and up to 90 minutes if you are measuring remotely.  Do you want to continue?

The WaterGuru SENSE is manufactured to be accurate and self-calibrating.

During each water measurement reading, the WaterGuru SENSE is calibrated to account for the unique environment of your skimmer at the time of measurement.

The proprietary chemistry pads needs to be exposed to water for at least 10 minutes to stabilize the color change in each pad.  This process ensures the most accurate and consistent measurements.

If you are within Bluetooth range (approximately 30 feet) of your WaterGuru SENSE, the process will start immediately.  If you are not within Bluetooth range of your WaterGuru SENSE, the process will take up to 90 minutes.
