SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ConnectedYard, a Hayward Industries, Inc. company and maker of the pHin Smart Water Care solution, today announced a new version of pHin designed to simplify the care and maintenance of residential hot tubs. ConnectedYard has partnered with Nordic Hot Tubs as the first manufacturer to create pHin Ready hot tubs that include the new inline installation of the award-winning pHin solution in all of its 2019 North American hot tub models.
Hot tub manufacturers create pHin Ready hot tubs by adding a pHin adaptor into the hot tub plumbing, effectively "smart-enabling" their hot tubs with pHin's innovative water monitoring technology. With the pHin Partner Portal, hot tub manufacturers and dealers can receive real-time data on their customers' hot tubs (with customer permission) —including current water health, historical pH, ORP, temperature levels and chemical usage—similar to the data available to hot tub owners via the pHin Mobile App. This remote monitoring capability provides peace of mind and reduces maintenance costs for both hot tub owners and dealers, while providing manufacturers and dealers with valuable data and insights allowing them to better serve customers' needs.
"We are very excited to partner with pHin and announce Nordic Hot Tubs as the first manufacturer of pHin Ready hot tubs. pHin is an incredibly easy-to-use water monitoring system that provides real-time water care information directly from the hot tub to the pHin App on any mobile device," said Pete Westfall, Vice President of Sales for Nordic. "The partnership with ConnectedYard will provide Nordic Hot Tub dealers with a competitive advantage, while offering their customers a better experience by reducing the burden of water care."
"ConnectedYard and Nordic have a shared vision to make owning a hot tub simple, low maintenance and carefree," said Justin Miller, ConnectedYard CEO. "A pHin Ready hot tub allows the dealer to provide their customers with an enhanced Nordic experience and combined with innovative features like the Shopping List and Partner Portal, pHin makes it easy for dealers to support their customers' service and chemical needs."
pHin is an innovative smart water care solution that takes the guesswork out of pool and hot tub maintenance by combining a WiFi-enabled smart monitor and mobile app that monitors water chemistry and temperature 24/7, and notifies customers via smartphone when they need to take action. Customers receive recommendations on how to balance their water so they add only the exact chemicals needed.
