poolcntrl: Pool Maintenance

The free tier is gone, and that is good news. Everything, for two weeks A new account now gets the whole app for two weeks — history, trends, reminders, weather, strip scanning, photo diagnosis, more than one pool. No card, nothing to cancel. Previously the free tier locked you out on your very first test; now you get the whole loop before deciding anything. The no-account calculator is unchanged and still permanent. Dosed against your jug, not a generic one Tell poolcntrl the strength printed on the bottle in your garage and the amount changes to match. A 12.5% jug and a 10% jug were never the same instruction, and low-fume muriatic is less than half the strength the old formulas assumed. Why this amount? Every recommendation now opens to show its arithmetic — your volume, your target, the math, and where the rounding went. Somebody to ask A new in-app assistant answers questions about your water, your equipment, the app, and your account. It explains and points you at your own numbers; it never prescribes a dose. Made for people who just got a pool A first-run checklist that takes you from empty app to first dose. Tap any acronym — FC, TA, CYA — for a plain-language definition without leaving the screen. Learn articles now reachable from the dashboard, and "Why?" links from the readings themselves. Closing the retest loop "Retest now" straight from History, plus a reminder four hours after a dose, when the water has actually had time to move. Trends worth reading Chart any reading over 30 days, 90 days, the season, or everything you have. Saltwater Salt now appears in every summary that should mention it, with honest generator guidance instead of brand-specific claims. Your data is yours Download your full water-test and dose history as a CSV from the member area at poolcntrl.com. Also: saving no longer interrupts you with a pop-up, the satellite trace asks you to confirm the pool it found, you can resend a confirmation email from the check-your-inbox screen, subscription status reflects what the server actually knows, and the permission prompts finally explain themselves.
