- TED uses the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for better reach
- Before purchasing TED, check Wi-Fi signal near your pool pump
If there is no Wi-Fi, the following options may help:
- Move Wi-Fi router somewhere in the house more likely to reach the pool pump area
- Is your router more than 4-5 years old? Might be time for an upgrade - newer routers are simply better
- You may be able to use range extenders or upgrade to a Mesh network, which could improve the Wi-Fi signal in many parts of your home
If none of these options work, then TED will not work for you for the time being. Send us an email at info@togetherenergy.com to let us know you're waiting for an alternative.
Pool equipment compatibility
TED is compatible with all pool pumps (and/or pool pumps plugged into chlorinators or timers) that fit in a standard general power outlet (GPO)
TED replaces your existing timer. Check your chlorinator can be set to "always on" on "no timers" so that it turns itself on-off when the socket switch is turned on-off.
