Short answer

Amano is pool test gear with built-in cellular. It goes in the pump room. It is not a hand kit with no app.

Amano mounts on a 2-inch return line. It tests free chlorine, combined chlorine, pH, and total alkalinity. It uses liquid reagent. It normally tests twice a day. You can change the times. Cell service sends each result to the app.

Built-in cellular sends each result. You do not set up Wi-Fi in the pump room.

Why pump-room Wi-Fi is hard

Many pump rooms have no good Wi-Fi. Thick walls and long halls can block it. A locked door can make the job worse. Amano skips that work.

The unit still needs 120V and a fit return line. The site needs 40 GPM or more and 10 PSI or more. The unit goes after the filter and before other gear.

Not a hand test kit

Some “no Wi-Fi” tools are drop kits or hand meters. Amano has a new job. It runs set tests, puts the test time in the log, and can send alerts. One app shows all your sites.

Share a log with a QR code. The other person does not need a login. The shared log does not take the place of hand logs that local rules need.

Amano tests at set times. It is not a live feed. It does not add pool chemicals. Keep all hand tests and site checks. Follow local pool rules.

What you still do on site

Common questions

Does Amano need Wi-Fi in the equipment room?
No. The unit has built-in cellular. There is no property Wi-Fi setup. Ask about current connectivity and plan details on a call.
Is this a handheld tester that works without an app?
No. Amano is pump-room gear. It goes on a 2-inch return line. It sends set liquid-test results to the Amano app with cell service.
Is the cellular plan a separate bill?
Ask about current connectivity and plan details on a call. The device uses built-in cellular, so your team does not need guest Wi-Fi or a separate site cell setup.
Can it run if the pool pump is off?
The site needs at least 40 GPM and 10 PSI when the pump runs. Amano tests at set times. It is not a live feed.
