BluVac 4+

There is a flaw with the APP which will pass a decay test prematurely, when mathematically the test would fail based on decay rate. Tried calling customer service at blue vac and no one ever answers.

The app rarely opens when you need it. When it does open it always searches for updates. Let’s be frank. When we open up the app we’re on a job ready to pull a vacuum not waiting for the app to load or download freaking updates. We want to get in and get out and on to the next job. The app should be designed to start up and only connect to Bluetooth devices so we can get what we set out to do. For this reason I am no longer using either of the two BluVac micron gauges I own nor will I purchase any other devices by this label. I have switched to the new Fieldpiece Bluetooth microns gauge MG44 which simply put….works when I want it to work and connects to the fieldpiece app without trying to connect to some forgotten server or wanting to download updates. That’s what the automatic updates are for built in to the AppStore. Stop trying to reinvent a broken wheel and make something that simply put…works without costing the technician time.

From one tech to another this app opens up a whole other world to evacuating. You can actually visually see what’s going on with a system under a vacuum and get an idea of what’s inside. Lots of info in the app too if at first you don’t understand quite what your lookin at. The bluvac micron gauges themselves are second to none. If you have the desire to be a better tech these tools and app are for you.
