So I’ve been managing my pool for about a month now. It’s been a lot of learning and record keeping and it’s been kinda confusing at times.

Do folks have a favorite pool management app? Or how do you keep track of all of the chemicals, dosing, and recurring maintenance, and other tasks?

I found these apps and was curious if folks had any thoughts about them.

The only one I’ve really tried is Pool Math, but… it gave me a really bad impression because you can only log 1 test. I couldn’t even properly evaluate the app because it’s so limited. I uninstalled it pretty much immediately after running into that.

    I never even thought about using one… For our pool I have a sand filter and a salt water chlorinator that basically handles everything for me though. I do check the levels once a week, but unless there is a freak accident where power goes out and the equipment randomly decides to never turn back on during it’s scheduled times it’s fine (once in the last 3 years).

    Though I do see the appeal of you are needing to add a bunch of balcony chemicals over the year and don’t want to exceed limits to much.

      Wow. That sounds like a nice dream to me. I’m constantly adding chemicals to my pool. I think things are starting to settle into: need to dump a gallon of chlorine every 2 or 3 days.
