A Pool Maintenance App That Actually Helps
Pool maintenance involves more than just throwing chlorine in once a week. Between testing water chemistry, tracking when you last cleaned the filter, and wondering if your pool service is doing a good job, it's easy to lose track. Pool Clarity puts everything in one place.
Water chemistry that makes sense
Enter your test strip readings and Pool Clarity tells you exactly what is off and what to do about it. Not in chemistry jargon, but in plain sentences: "Your pH is high at 7.9. Add 14 oz of muriatic acid, wait 4 hours with the pump running, then retest." Every dose is calculated for your specific pool size, type, and setup.
The chemistry calculator is completely free. No signup walls blocking you from getting the answer you need while you are standing next to the pool.
Hold your pool company accountable
If you pay for pool service, you have probably wondered whether they are actually doing a good job. Pool Clarity lets you log a reading right after the service tech leaves. Check the "post-service reading" box and your result gets tagged as a service visit.
After a few visits, Pool Clarity grades your pool company A through F based on how often their post-visit readings land in the ideal range. You will know whether your $150/month is buying good water chemistry or just someone scooping leaves.
The trend charts also show service visits as yellow dots, so you can visually compare the readings they leave behind versus your own testing throughout the week.
Maintenance schedules tailored to your pool
Pool Clarity generates a maintenance checklist based on your pool type, sanitizer system, environment, and state. A screened saltwater pool in Florida has very different needs than an outdoor chlorine pool in Michigan. Your schedule reflects that.
Tasks are broken into weekly, biweekly, monthly, and seasonal intervals so you never forget when to backwash the filter, check the salt cell, or prepare for winter closing.
Know what your pool actually costs
The cost tracker lets you log monthly service fees and chemical purchases. It calculates your annual spending and compares it to estimated DIY costs. Many pool owners discover they are spending $1,500-2,400 per year on service when DIY maintenance costs closer to $350.
This is not a sales pitch to fire your pool company. Some people value the convenience, and that is fine. But you should know the number so you can make an informed decision.
