While certainly not as sexy as some of the other bells and whistles to hit the big-game market of late, there are few things more important than your onboard water systems. The newly released Bluelink Technology from Spot Zero represents a significant step forward in onboard water management. Designed to integrate across Spot Zero’s product range and other connected devices, Bluelink delivers an impressive combination of functionality, convenience and connectivity.
The real genius behind Bluelink is its modular architecture, composed of three key components. The Bluelink Touch interface stands out for its simplicity and ease of use, providing intuitive control and real-time monitoring of your systems. The Bluelink Core acts as the system’s brain, ensuring reliable performance and efficient device communication. Finally, the Bluelink Cloud enables remote access, live software updates and advanced diagnostics, keeping systems current and users up to date on important data.
There are several key features that enhance the practicality of Bluelink, most notably the seamless integration with multifunction displays from leading brands such as Garmin and Simrad, ensuring compatibility with existing setups. The live remote support via TeamViewer is a notable addition, offering users real-time troubleshooting regardless of their location. The ability to connect to any smartphone or tablet further improves accessibility, while live software updates ensure long-term functionality without requiring manual intervention.
While Bluelink is undeniably innovative, its design and features also enable it to adapt to a variety of onboard environments. The reliance on cloud connectivity is supported by robust infrastructure, minimizing potential disruptions. Additionally, the system’s intuitive design and user-friendly interfaces make it accessible to operators of all experience levels. Its advanced capabilities are easy to harness, even for those less-tech-savvy operators.
Many of these changes were recommended by captains and crews. The priority placed on developing an easy, user-friendly product based on consumer feedback is underscored when speaking with the team at Spot Zero.
“No one is more committed to user experience and innovation than Spot Zero, and Bluelink is proof of that,” said Kevin Couvillon, director of marketing and sales at Spot Zero. “It’s taking the customer experience to a whole new level. With live remote support, MFD and smart-device integration, and intuitive controls, Bluelink gives boaters the confidence and convenience to focus on what matters—chasing that trophy fish, whether right out front or across the globe.”
Overall, Bluelink Technology is a forward-thinking solution for water-purification and desalination systems. Its features are well suited for operators seeking advanced control and remote management, ringing true to Spot Zero’s credo of helping to make your life on the water easier.
