Game changer!

The title says it all. I maintain my own pool, and despite the salt cell and muriatic acid pump automation, if you don’t know or understand your water quality numbers of how the system actually works things can quickly take a turn for the worse. This app makes it SO EASY to dial in my numbers and maintain a healthy LSI. No more laser focus on maintaining a PH of 7.2 - 7.6, and no more lack of understanding TA and ORP and how the salt cell works. Thanks to this app and the great blogs on the Orenda website, I’m now a master of my pool and not a slave to it. The only reason it doesn’t get five stars is that it doesn’t have a historic function. Being able to save all of my test readings by date so I can go back and refer to the historical data would make the app perfect. Orenda, please add this functionality! :-)

Orenda is great!

I live Orenda, but there are a few things I would change. First, I would add in a calculation for how to adjust a pool with too much chlorine by adding sodium Thiosulfate. This is a needed calculation. Also, I would list IN ORDER what chemicals to put in and how to apply them. At no time should Soda Ash be applied prior to Sodium Bicarbonate, however Soda Ash appears first in some cases, which also affects pH… there should be a “how to” section that explains how to put the chemicals in for newer pool cleaners.

Very simple to use for a novice pool owner

Good tool to have

Makes pool care simple and keeps system working longer

The best pool app, period.

Absolutely the best app to manage your pool the right way, and supported by great educational material on the Orenda web site and if you want, a great selection of chemicals that are mentioned but not really pushed.

To bad one cannot keep a
history in it. I use the PoolMath app for that, which is otherwise not-too-distant but second to the Orenda app.

Malfunctioning

Every time I update my current numbers, it updates the desired to reflect the same if they aren’t locked. If the desired are locked, it won’t update my current. It will slow me to input my new current figures when the desired is locked, but immediately reverts to what they were previously. If I then close the app and relaunch it, then my recently input current numbers will be updated. It makes no sense and is frustrating.

Une merveille!

Le meilleur accompagnement dans de l’équilibre de l’eau. Facile, ludique et bien adapté pour l’Europe avec m3, littes et celcius.
Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés. Jamais ma piscine a été aussi belle depuis j’arrête de suivre bêtement les consignes- souvent faux- des vendeurs de la chimie et de basculer sur l’équilibre de l’eau.

No chlorine or acid recommendations

No matter what I change in the app, it never recommends adding or removing chlorine or acid. It seems broke.

Great intuitive app

Love everything about the app and how easy it is to calculate pool chemicals. I just wish it had logging as well so we can track and have history of what was added. Please add this feature.

Awesome App!

Awesome app that helps greatly with the maintenance of my pool. Love the Tule your Pool Podcast and Eric and crew spending the time to teach all the info.

Thank you!

Wish you had an official Amazon store so I as a home owner am getting authentic products when I order your stuff.

No Guess Work

I’ve been in the pool industry for over 30 years. I have seen multiple calculation apps in the Pool industry. This Orenda app is by far the best in my opinion, it takes all the guess work out as you can easily adjust the desired levels to bring LSI into perfect balance. it is also very educational and packed with valuable information for the pool industry.

Awesomeness

Must have app if you own a pool

Found this company 3 or 4 years ago when we had a scale issue and they are the best. Using their enzymes and have also emailed questions and they respond quickly.
The app is also excellent—such an easy way to monitor LSI. Love that they added the ph ceiling!

Excellent !

Franchement, cet appli nous a sauvé cet année. Tous nos amis et des gens au tour de nous (83) sont dans la galère avec leur piscines vertes à repetition et chez nous une eau crystalline tte l'été !
Je utilise avec un PoolLab pour connaitre les chiffres exactes.
J'ai une eau en equilibre et je pense que M Langelier aurait éte fier de moi.
Appli gratuit en plus - 5 étoiles sans hesitation !

Savings is huge

If you’re not using this app and adjusting as recommended you’re simply spending more money and energy than necessary. But hey what do I know about pool chemistry? NOTHING! Till now! 😉

Finally

Thanks for finally making it all clear to me. Been given so much bad and contradictory advise elsewhere on how to properly get my pool water right. Go LSI go!

Listened to a few pod casts. You guys rule!!

NO ONE HERE HAS YOUR KNOWLEDGE!!

Ps. Muratic Acid automatic feeder, Saltwater fibreglass pool in Quebec City QC Canada. Just have to convince the wife on 7.8-8.0 pH.

Changing numbers

I find it frustrating when you have the desired numbers in that you need and you input your current numbers…the desired numbers you put in are changing!!! It sure would be nice if they would stay fixed unless you physically change them.

Great app, but..

Great free app with plenty of resources.
I only wish that it would give dosages for hydrochloride acid rather than sulfuric acid, as hydrochloride acid is what it generally used in Australia at least.

Orenda LSI app

This is the best app for maintaining LSI parameters on your pool. It is an easy interface to use and you can manipulate the variables and see the effects of increased temp, pH, TDS, etc on your LSI. It makes it possible to know how low you can take your pH and how high you can let it climb before adjustments may be necessary. This is invaluable to a homeowner that wants to maintain their own pool and know that their plaster finish will be taken care of better than a weekly pool service. Get it!
