Ondilo ICO
ondilo_ico
ICO by Ondilo is a small connected device that you simply drop into the pool or spa. ICO continuously analyzes the water quality of your pool/spa and notifies you via its application. ICO provides personalized recommendations so that you use the right products in the right proportions at the right time.
