The Scuba 3S, pool Photometer with mobile application, is the evolution of the successful SCUBA II meter, phased out since 2025.
Unlike the Scuba II, the Scuba 3S incorporates an evolved high brightness display, reading of up to 11 parameters (10 + total chlorine), mobile bluetooth application for recording measurements and visual alerts with red or green color for out of range parameters.
The SCUBA3s Photometer is a measuring device designed for a professional and particular control of up to 11 chemical parameters of swimming pools and spas.
With wireless data transmission via NFC and the Lovibond® “PoolAssistant” mobile app, the scuba 3s provides detailed analysis of important pool water parameters.
The Scuba 3s meter is ideal for the pool owner or maintainer looking for accurate measurement of water parameters, without breaking the bank.
The Scuba 3s is one of the few Photometers on the market that allows the measurement of phosphates in water.
Main technical characteristics – Lovibond SCUBA 3s pool meter.
- Control Parameters: Provides 11 different types of parameters to control water quality, including chlorine (total, free, combined), bromine, pH, alkalinity-m, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, active oxygen, copper and phosphates.
- Wireless Data Transmission: Uses NFC technology for wireless data transfer to external devices, such as smartphones, via a passive NFC chip.
- PoolAssistant Mobile App: Available for iOS and Android. Allows analysis of measurement results. Up to 3 users can access data from up to 5 pools. Classifies results in diagrams. Provides tools for pool and water quality management. FAQ and tips section.

Facil de uso, genial la app movil y los indicadores. Por ponerle una pega, el tema de las pastillas, que cuando quieres hacer varias mediciones se lleva un rato. Un diez tambien para poolcomet que me lo envio a la mañana siguiente de pedirlo.
