How do I winterize my WaterGuru SENSE?

If you plan to close your pool during the winter season, you should remove and store the WaterGuru Sense.

To store the WaterGuru SENSE device during the winter season or if not being used, follow these steps:

• Remove the batteries
• Reinstall the batteries when you plan on using the WaterGuru SENSE again in your pool
• Remove and dispose of the cassette - Once the cassette has been exposed to water, the pads will lose their ability to test if dried out and stored for any period of time
• Reinstall a new cassette when you plan on using the WaterGuru SENSE again in your pool
• Ensure that the device is dry and devoid of water
• Store the device in a non-freezing dry place (>50°F).
• Any cassettes still in their foil wrap should also be stored in a non-freezing dry place (>50°F)

Do I need to change anything in the WaterGuru App?

• No.  As soon as the batteries are deleted, the SENSE device will go Offline since it is no longer connected to Wi-Fi.  The WaterGuru app will display "No connection for XXX days". 
• When you re-open the pool again next season, just put the batteries back in.
• The device will re-connect to your Wi-Fi network (Unless you have changed your router, SSID, Network Password, etc.)  
• If you have changed your Wi-Fi network connection, simply tap Settings > Wi-Fi Settings
• Tap on the name of the SSID of your Wi-Fi network and enter the password

Note:  It is advisable to remove the WaterGuru SENSE when the water temperature drops below 55°F. 

If however you do plan on keeping the SENSE in the water at low exterior temperatures, be aware that the SENSE battery strength will deplete much faster than normal due to the cold water temperature in your pool.  You should closely monitor the battery strength to avoid having measurement failures occur due to the low battery strength being insufficient to power the motor.  You should also closely monitor the outside temperature.  If freezing temperatures 32°F or lower are forecast, the SENSE should be removed from the skimmer.
