The ICO innovation, conceived after more than two years of R & D work by Ondilo, has attracted many companies in the industry! Though small and discreet, floating on the swimming pool, this connected island provides excellent performances, especially by collecting continuously and by transmitting on Smartphone the main parameters of the pool water.
Impressed by the design, the practicality of the product and the approach of the Ondilo teams, the SCP Europe Group decided to list the product, which won prizes at the famous CES 2017 Innovation Awards and the 2016 GreenTech Ministry of the Environment competition, in their 2018 catalogue.

Technological and digital innovation is a growing reality and we intend to stay at the forefront by offering this new generation of connected products to our customers".
