Every reading, every visit, every pool — searchable for years.

Open a visit on the field app and the water-chemistry panel is one tap away. Punch in free chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid and salinity if the pool is salt. The form is designed for sunlight and gloves — big fields, big keyboard, no fiddly dropdowns. The whole capture takes under a minute even on a windy deck.

Each reading is timestamped, attached to the visit, and assigned a phase: before treatment, after treatment, or both. The before/after split is what makes the trend charts honest, because chlorine right after a shock is a different story from chlorine on Friday morning.

SplashIQ knows the property's gallonage from the customer record. Combined with the latest readings and ideal target ranges, it suggests dosing: how much muriatic acid to drop pH, how much soda ash to lift alkalinity, how much stabiliser to add to a pool that's burning through chlorine in the sun. The recommendations are guidance, not a prescription — the technician always confirms before logging the dose — but they shorten the gap between a junior tech and a senior one.

The water-quality tab on each property shows a chart of every parameter over time. A pH that's drifted up four visits in a row, a chlorine residual sliding toward zero, a cyanuric acid creeping above 100 — all jump out visually before they become emergencies. You can compare two pools side by side, filter by season, or export the data for a commercial client's compliance report.

For commercial pools and HOAs that require chemistry records, the export is regulator-friendly: timestamped, geotagged, and signed by the technician who took the reading.

Pools live behind houses, behind walls, surrounded by trees. Cell reception is rarely a guarantee. SplashIQ's field app captures every reading locally first and syncs the moment service returns. No reading is ever lost to a dead spot, and the technician sees clearly which visits are still waiting to sync.
