Read full description

PoolBuddy is the assistant that takes care of your pool or spa water. It measures, understands and acts: it tells you exactly what to add and how much. β€’ Measure with a photo. Photograph the test strip (next to the bottle, so the light doesn't fool it) or your drop test kit, and the AI reads chlorine, pH and the rest of the parameters. β€’ Instant diagnosis and doses. Know whether the water is safe to swim in, and the approximate doses to fix it, in grams or ounces. β€’ AI advisor. It analyzes your whole pool β€”parameters, weather and seasonβ€” and gives you clear recommendations. β€’ Advanced chemistry. Water balance (LSI index), combined chlorine, stabilizer adjustment, salt and more. β€’ Built-in weather. It uses the sun, UV and temperature of your location to fine-tune filtration and alert you. β€’ Everything in one place. "What to do today", tasks, product inventory, filter pressure, season opening/closing checklists, costs and trend charts. β€’ Bluetooth probe input and Apple Watch app. Doses are approximate estimates; always follow the product label instructions.
