In climates where the temperature dips below freezing during the winter, we recommend removing your monitor and storing it safely inside until it’s above freezing again. However, if you leave your pool open then you can leave your monitor in the water and continue to use it as long as the temperature is above freezing.
If the monitor is subjected to freezing temperatures then the water and reagents inside could freeze and damage the monitor and/or cartridge so we recommend storing your monitor inside when the temperature will be below 40℉ just to be safe as the operating range is from 36℉ - 105℉ for the reagents and hardware.
Here are the steps to take when removing your monitor:
Temporary Removal - (Shocking, pool repair, party, et cetera)
- Log into my.mysutro.com
- Click on the "My Membership" tab.
- Click the Pause Readings button to prevent the monitor from taking readings while it is out of the water.

- Once you are ready to put it back in the water simply return to the subscription tab and restart readings.
