We have a lot to do to take care of our swimming pools. For some operators, they may have other jobs on the property that they are responsible for. Or, some pool operators manage multiple properties. Whatever the case, we want our jobs to be as simple as possible, right? Let’s talk about one way you can simplify your job and your daily experience.
There seems to be an app for everything these days. That extends to the pool industry as well. If you have automatic pool controllers on your property, you are already familiar with pool chemical phone apps. If you have automation of any kind, you are familiar with a pool-related app. What about our chemicals? Maintaining proper water chemistry is key to clear, inviting and, most importantly, safe water.
We never want to add chemicals without first testing the water. Pool Shark H2O has paired with the LaMotte Spin touch to get accurate and fast results in just 60 seconds! How the spin touch works is you take a syringe of a small amount of water. You then put the water sample into a spin disc. The disc is then inserted into the spin lab. It spins it around and uses the colors to judge your water test results.
The Pool Shark pool chemical app utilizes the Langelier Saturation Index to help with proper chemical dosing. Because we have accurate dosing, we waste fewer chemicals and save money. Hooray!
Not ready to invest in the spin lab? Not an issue, With the Pool Shark pool chemical app, you can manually add your results from any test kit. You will still receive proper dosing instructions.
Why do we test? Well, it's the law for one. Many regions require only once-a-week testing, while others require a water test every hour! The other reason we test is so that we know what chemicals we need to put in to properly balance our pool water.
Unbalanced water can cause so many issues. It can damage your pool’s surface, plumbing, and equipment. It can be uncomfortable for bathers. It can be unsafe for bathers. It can cause cloudy water, which is a drowning risk. You are required to be able to see the main drain at all times to help prevent accidental drowning. These seem like good reasons to me.
We not only have to test our water chemicals often, but we have to keep a log of our findings. Old-fashioned paper logs are a thing of the past. They can get misplaced. They can get wet. Your staff may forget to use them at all! The Pool Shark H2O app does more than just dosing the water. It keeps a digital record of every water test with literally no effort on your part. Since the water test results are immediately available on your chosen devices, you automatically have an up-to-date digital log available at all times. This can come in handy if you get a surprise visit from your local health department. You can easily show them the logs, keeping you in compliance and your pool open. And this makes us and our bosses happy pappy.
Storage is not an issue if you use this pool chemical app. No need for a ton of boxes piled up on your property of old water test results. Some places require you to keep previous water pool logs for 7 years. That is an inconvenient use of storage space. Yes, with the Pool Shark H2O pool chemical app you are saving time and adding convenience and accountability.
Why not give your staff the tools they need to keep swimming pools and spas compliant with health code regulations? This CMAHC-certified app does so much to ensure this. Pools that are managed correctly cost less to own and to run. The cloud-based solution brings you and your team confidence that your pools are being managed correctly. You don’t even have to be onsite to check up on your staff’s testing or your water’s condition.
The Pool Shark H2O Pool Chemical App has custom checklists to help you stay organized. It notifies you if a water test hasn’t been done in the past 24 hours, potentially putting you out of health department compliance. It notifies you when it is time to replace your VGB-compliant drain. Which is every 5 years by the way. It tells you how to handle the ominous AFR (Accidental Fecal Release). Hey, it’s gross, but it is our job to know how to make the water safe again. After all, isn’t safety our main goal?
It also offers Geo-fencing. Did I mention that the Pool Shark H2O Pool Chemical Phone App has unlimited users? This is a great way to keep everyone on your team informed.
Yes, using a pool chemical app, like the Pool Shark H2O helps us be compliant, saves time and money, logs our findings, and helps our pools remain pristine. See you poolside!
