How many Bitcoiners have a swimmingpool? If you have one, do you meassure the chlorine level manually or with a automatic device / electronic device? I couldnt find a electronic device that can meassure chlorine in the water therefore i go with the weekly manual drop test.

…I’m not sure how the subject connects to the predicate here… is this some kind of secret BTC euphemism I’m not cool enough to know? 😅😂
no i am looking for a electronic solution instead of a chemical one. So i can monitor it more often, but i didnt found a "cheap" device that can do it.
Huh. Interesting… 🤔
I’ve heard a system that auto-regulates a saline pool, seemed complex and expensive though. I’d have to think about a chemical version…
the base reason is, i was thinking about creating a product that can do the chemical meassurement automated (micro camera, 2 glas slides, 1 motor for peristalstic pump, 2 inputs for the chemicals, esp32 for wifi and bluetooth access, tinyml to evaluate the value from the camera) .... product can be built for less than 50 bucks. Enough accuracy, but i dont know how many people would buy it....
Btw. saline pool auto-regulation is done with a "chlorinator" problem is that device also only checks the parts per million in the water (and assumes, those parts are salt particles). my pool for example is constanty at avg 3'700ppm , otherwise the chlorinator dosent have enough power for the 10x4x2 swimmingpool. Therefore on ultra sunny days >35degree or after rain you have to add chlorine to the water. Otherwise your pool gets green.
There are test strips available to check chlorine and pH levels. And electronic devices too. I do not have a favorite yet, I just do drops.
If you can do Amazon shopping you can find a device :)
link? because as afar as i know it is ONLY possible to meassure chlorine in water in a chemical way (drop test liquid). Most cheap "chlorine test advertisements" only meassure parts per million in the water which excludes chlorine! ... Thats the issue. Still like to check out the product you say.
i have that one already, and it works the way i described and isnt accurate.... it meassures parts per million.
That's the cheapest one I found, there are other models though in a higher price range though, should get you started :)
the cheapest working one that is accurate i found was 14k USD... for that ammount i am happy to do weekly a manual test, even i would like to have the test daily...
I'm training on pool cleaning, and my boss says the drops are cheap easy and fine. But strips and handheld probes work too, so its up you really. Have fun :)
