Automatic Pool Monitoring and Chlorine Dosing
EcO Pilot is iopool’s most complete connected pool care pack. It combines EcO Start + Connect, the smart water analyzer, with EcoTab, the connected chlorine dispenser.
Together, they create a simple automated loop: EcO Start measures your water, EcoTab adjusts chlorine dispensing based on the water status, and cOnnect lets you follow your pool remotely through the iopool app.
This pack is designed for pool owners who want to go beyond water monitoring. With EcO Pilot, you can track your pool, receive alerts, follow recommendations, and automate part of your chlorine treatment, while keeping control from the app.
What’s Included in the EcO Pilot Pack
The EcO Pilot pack includes:
EcO Smart Water Monitor
EcoTab Chlorine Dispenser
cOnnect Bluetooth / Wi-Fi Gateway
Start guide for easy setup
6-in-1 iopool test strips with reference card
iopool dosing spoon
EcO Start continuously monitors key water parameters such as pH, ORP and temperature. EcoTab dispenses chlorine tablets and can adjust chlorine release when used with EcO. cOnnect links your analyzer to your Wi-Fi network, so you do not need to keep your smartphone near the pool to check your data.
What EcO Pilot Adds to Your Pool Care
EcO Pilot is not just a bundle of products. Its value comes from how the devices work together.
EcO Start analyzes your water and sends data to the iopool app. EcoTab uses the water status provided by EcO to adapt chlorine dispensing. cOnnect keeps your pool data accessible remotely, even when you are away from home.
This helps reduce manual checks, missed chlorine doses, and the risk of over- or under-dosing. You still remain in control, but the system takes care of part of the daily monitoring and chlorine management.
EcO Pilot automates chlorine dispensing. It does not automatically correct every water parameter, such as pH or alkalinity. For those adjustments, the iopool app provides clear recommendations.

How EcO Pilot Works
EcO Pilot is based on a simple principle: your pool data should help control your treatment.
EcO Start measures your water. EcoTab adjusts chlorine dispensing according to that information. cOnnect sends your EcO data to the app via Wi-Fi, so you can follow your pool without staying within Bluetooth range of the analyzer.
