The idea

Less to worry about.

PoolBuddy keeps an eye on your pool and tells you what to do, step by step. No pool-chemistry class required.

Catches problems early

We spot the small stuff before it turns into a big, expensive repair.

Makes your water simple

Snap a test and get a plain answer: what to add, and how much. No numbers to decode.

Tells you what to do

Every heads-up comes with one clear next step, never just numbers to puzzle over.

Never cries wolf

If PoolBuddy isn't sure, it says so. You won't get nagged over nothing.

Every week

The parts you'll use every week.

A handful of simple tools that keep your pool easy, all in one place.

Water you can actually read

Snap your test strip and get a plain, friendly result, with exactly what to add and how much. No chemistry degree, no wall of numbers.

No surprise breakdowns

Hold your phone near the pump for a minute. If something's starting to go, you'll know early and fix it on your terms, not at the worst possible time.

All clear.

A short, doable list

Just the few things worth doing this week, in plain language, with the reason each one matters.

Ask anything about your pool

Snap a photo, ask a question, and get a real answer about your pool, like texting a pool guy who already knows it.

Everything it does

One app. The whole pool.

Everything works together off one shared picture of your pool. What one part notices, the rest already know.

My Pool

Your whole pool in one place: equipment, history, and what needs attention now.

Water

Log or snap a test and get a clear read on your chemistry, plus exactly what to add.

Snap to log

Photograph a strip or a product label and PoolBuddy reads it and logs it for you.

Photo onboarding

Snap your equipment pad once and it recognizes your pump, filter, and heater.

Forecast

Pool-aware weather: the best days this week to actually swim.

Ask

Ask anything about your pool in plain words and get a clear, careful answer.

Early warning

A heads-up when something's starting to go, while it's still a cheap, easy fix.

My Supplies

Know what chemicals and parts you have, and what you will need next.

Buy in one tap

The right part or chemical for your pool, from your local store.

Service handoff

Hand a big job to a tech with the diagnosis already attached.

Journal

Every reading, fix, and note, kept as your pool's history.

Spending

What your pool actually costs, tracked over time.

For pros, too

Operator mode runs a whole route of pools, with deeper data and dispatch.

A real pool, not a showroom

It starts with one photo.

This is a real equipment pad — the founder's own pool. Point your phone at yours once and PoolBuddy works out what's what: the pump, the filter, the heater, the valves. From then on, it knows your pool, not pools in general.

No gadgets, no wiring, no perfect photography. If the pad is a little messy, that's fine — most are.

Never guess again

It walks you through it.

PoolBuddy doesn't just tell you something's off. It hands you the exact steps to fix it, in plain English, with a short how-to video if you'd rather watch than read.

Water · needs attention

Your chlorine is low. Time to shock.

It dropped below where it keeps the water clean. A shock treatment brings it right back.

  1. 1We read the water and sized the exact dose for your pool — grab that much pool shock.
  2. 2Add it after sunset with the pump running, so it works overnight.
  3. 3That's it. We retest for you and let you know the moment it's back to clear.

Ask

Ask it anything. Get a plain answer.

Ask in your own words, just like you'd ask a trusted pool guy. Every answer is about your pool, not pools in general.

1

You ask

In your own words. Snap a photo if it helps.

2

It reads

PoolBuddy looks at everything it knows about your pool, not pools in general.

3

It answers, carefully

A clear verdict in plain language, with how sure it is and what to do next.

Field pilot · 2026

In our first real-world pilot, PoolBuddy flagged a developing equipment issue early. The fix was simple, and a follow-up confirmed it worked.

Just a hot tub? Same plan.

Works for spas too.

Pick "Spa only" when you add it, and PoolBuddy adjusts everything to match — no separate app, no separate learning curve.

Chemistry that already knows better

Bromine, salt, or chlorine — the targets shift automatically for a spa's smaller, hotter water. No pool-sized guesswork.

A nudge when it's time to refill

A spa's small volume means some things only clear with a full drain and refill. PoolBuddy tells you when, instead of leaving you guessing.

Same phone, same app

Whatever else you own — a pool, a spa, or both — it's one account and one simple plan.

Who it's for

Made for owners and pros alike.

Whether it's your own pool or a whole route of them, everyone works from the same simple plan.

Owners

The quiet expert in your pocket. Catch problems before they become repair bills, in a few minutes a week.

Pros

Show up already knowing. The diagnostic edge your route has been missing: arrive with the answer, not the guesswork.

Retailers

Walk-ins become relationships. Match what is in the warehouse to the pool that is about to need it.

Fleets

One standard, every truck. Fewer repeat trips, more first-time fixes across the whole route.

Different on purpose

What makes PoolBuddy different.

Catches it early

It's not about readings. It's about spotting trouble before it becomes trouble.

Everyone on the same page

You, your pool guy, and your store all see the same simple plan.

Honest when unsure

It tells you how confident it is, and when it isn't sure at all.

Just needs your phone

No gadgets to buy. Start with the phone already in your pocket.
