PoolDrift gives you the first predictive pool chemistry dashboard — not just where your chemistry is, but where it's going. KNOW BEFORE IT DRIFTS Most pool apps are reactive: you test, you log, they tell you what to add. PoolDrift's 5-day forecast engine models FC decay and pH drift using real weather data — UV index, temperature, and rain — so you know Wednesday's rainstorm will dilute your chlorine before it happens. TFP CHEMISTRY — DONE RIGHT Built on the Trouble Free Pool (TFP / BBB) methodology, the most rigorous consumer pool chemistry framework available. FC targets automatically scale with your CYA level. The carbonate buffer dosing engine calculates exact acid and base amounts — no approximations. FEATURES • 5-day FC & pH forecast with weather-driven UV decay modeling • Full parameter tracking: FC, CC, pH, TA, CH, CYA, Salt, CSI • Proactive alerts — Critical, Warning, and Info tiers • Dose calculator with step dosing for large corrections • SLAM (Shock Level and Maintain) guided process • PoolMath integration — pull your test history automatically • Leslie's Pool integration — sync test results from your account • Chemical inventory tracking with low-stock alerts • Multiple methodology support: TFP, Leslie's, PHTA, Orenda SMART ALERTS Alerts keep your chemistry in range without constant checking. Critical alerts fire when FC drops below your CYA-dependent minimum. Forecast alerts warn you up to 5 days before a problem develops — with exact doses and timing. PLUS — $2.99/mo or $29.99/yr Unlock chart-based SWG calibration, additional methodology support (PHTA, Leslie's, Orenda), chemical inventory auto-tracking, guided processes for every methodology, weather-driven decay modeling, and borates management. PRO — $4.99/mo or $49.99/yr Everything in Plus, plus a forecast engine trained on your pool. Pro fits FC and pH decay curves to your actual test history — the more you log, the more accurate your predictions become. Also includes multi-pool management to track a home pool, rental, spa, or client pools from one app. PoolDrift is for pool owners who want to stop reacting and start anticipating.
