Pool setup

Tell Radiant Waves about the water it's watching. Volume is what turns "add acid" into "add 14 fl oz", and the sanitiser type decides which readings matter and what good looks like for them.

How the pool is sanitised

This sets the default targets and decides whether salt is tracked at all.

Saltwater Salt-chlorine generator

A chlorinator cell converts dissolved salt into chlorine. You manage salt level and cell output rather than adding chlorine by hand.

Chlorine Traditional chlorine

Chlorine is added directly as liquid, granules or tablets.

Bromine Bromine sanitised

Bromine tablets in a feeder, usually on spas and indoor pools. Bromine holds up better in warm water but reads lower on ORP than chlorine.

What do you call it?

Size and shape

Dimensions in feet. Volume is worked out from the average depth — or enter gallons directly if you already know it and that number wins.

Shape

Length (ft) Diameter, if round

Width (ft)

Shallow end (ft)

Deep end (ft)

Gallons (optional) Overrides the calculation

28,933 US gallons — every dose on the dashboard is scaled to this.

Mixing and the sensor

How fast a dose reaches the ICO. This sets how long recommendations wait after you log an addition before trusting the reading again.

Where the sensor floats A sensor in the return flow sees a dose first; one in a far corner sees it last.

Pump hours per day Nothing mixes while the pump is off.

Target ranges

These open on the recommended values for your sanitiser type. Change them only if you have a reason — your chlorinator's manual, a pool professional, or local guidance.

Numbers the ICO can't see

The sensor doesn't measure these, but the dosing maths needs them. Get them from a test kit or a strip every few weeks and keep them roughly current — acid demand in particular scales directly with total alkalinity.

Total alkalinity (ppm) Typical 80–120

Cyanuric acid (ppm) Typical 30–50; 0 for bromine
