Troubleshooting
I did not get my email verification?
Please check your email SPAM folder. If the cFloat email account verification isn't there, please repeat the setupprocess and make sure you provide a valid email address.
During system setup I did not select the GPS location option. I now want to activate the GPS location. How do I do that?
If you did not select the GPS location option during setup you will need to go to your smartphone's GPS (location) settings and allow the cFloat App access to your pool's location.
In 'Fun With cFloat', when I select START I get a warning "Please select an option".
Before you select START you need to choose if you want to play 'Cannonball' or 'Perfect Dive'.
The App 'Hangs' ... what can I do?
First Reset your App - Reset your phone or tablet.
If you have any difficulties in setting up your system, please contact us at support@cfloat.info so that we can schedule a call to help you complete it.
