## 9.1 Alerts and where to find them

Alerts can be configured individually per pool. In order to find the alerts specific to pools you need to go to **"Settings->Alerts"**

The location name should be shown at the top and then you should see a series of alerts, starting with "Smart Alerts" at the top.

Best practice is to enable all the smart alerts per pool
{% endhint %}

Here's a brief explanation of the smart alerts:

**Smart pH -** detects that the pH is out of range for a given period of time under certain conditions

**Smart ORP -** detects that the ORP has been bad for a given period of time under certain conditions

**Freeze Protect -** only alerts you that you should have your pool in freeze protect mode. For configuring freeze protect, please see our Configuring Freeze Protect section

**Pump Offline -** can alert the user that their pump should be running based on a schedule but is not

## 9.2 Threshold Alerts

Threshold alerts should mainly be used if you have a specific use case where you want to be alerted **exactly at the time when the reading breaks the threshold**. You can configure thresholds individuall for low, high, or both at the same time.
