Don't be so sure. Tub manufacturers buy stuff like wifi modules from only a few vendors. If they don't work right for one, they're not going to work right for others. Inexcusable today when wifi is so ubiquitous and simple to implement.

Even if WiFi does not work , the system should balance PH and Sanitizer level automatically ... without my supervision
Exxx ... Anyone who has it can comment ? No one yet?
Maybe a dealer can add something? Thank you !

What kind of tub avr8? My customers haven't had any issue with the wifi. The ones that have were setup improperly. Marquis uses the balboa app and it works pretty good. The reviews in it online suck but I'd be willing to bet that it just. Wasn't setup properly in the first place

Bullfrog so it's the Balboa stuff. I've run a 50,000 node enterprise network at a university for 20 years so I've got a pretty good handle on setting up wireless network stuff. I've called Balboa support and they were not particularly helpful. I can connect to the tub directly from the app, but it will not connect to either of my home wireless networks (doesn't even see them even though the tub is 10' LOS from both wireless APs) Additionally, the app disconnects from the tub frequently. Since last Friday when i turned it on I've had to reboot the wifi module or the tub 5 times so far to get it to connect to my devices directly.
Seems like my experience is pretty close to what the iOS and Droid OS store reviews relate.

As far as being on Autopilot ... I would think it's not what it's cracked up to be. I think it gives a false sense of security that a "computer" is correcting everything. Does the system check for alkalinity and bump or lower it for changing water conditions, what happens when your water isn't behaving the way it's supposed to be? I think there are too many variables.
For Wifi, it's possible to have crappy reception outside and inside a house, same holds true with all wireless technology. Things that come into play - how far away you are from the router, what obstructions are in the way, is the house aluminum sided ...
I have personally been on a cell phone and have gone from crappy reception to decent reception just by moving a couple of feet.
