What it does

Chemistry that actually knows your pool

Built on the TroubleFreePool method serious pool owners trust, wired to your pool's real volume, surface, sanitizer, and history.

⚗️

Exact dosing

"Add 2.1 cups of liquid chlorine." Doses computed for your pool's volume and your targets, in the units you actually measure with: cups, gallons, tablets, or bags.

📷

Photo diagnosis

Green, cloudy, stained, or foamy: photograph the water and get per-condition likelihoods, severity, and a step-by-step treatment plan.

🎞️

Strip & sheet scanning

Photograph a dipped test strip, or the printed results sheet from a pool-store water test. Every reading lands in a draft you review before saving.

💬

An assistant with context

Ask anything. Answers use your latest test, your equipment, your weather, and your chemical history.

📈

Trends & reminders

Every parameter charted against its target band, with reminders that keep the testing rhythm going.

Questions

The short answers

Is my pool data private?

Yes. Everything lives on your device unless you create an optional account for backup. No ads, no tracking, no analytics profiles. AI requests send only the content needed to answer them, and it is not stored. Details in the privacy policy.

Do I need an account?

No. The app is fully functional without one. An optional free account (email, or Sign in with Apple) backs up your pools and syncs them across devices.

Which test kits work with it?

Any of them. Enter readings from drop kits or strips by hand, photograph a dipped strip, or photograph the printed results sheet from a pool-store water test.

How do I cancel the subscription?

In your iPhone's Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, then PoolHelp AI. Cancelling stops future charges and nothing about your pool data changes.

Is the dosing advice safe to follow?

PoolHelp encodes widely used, established pool-care practice, and every dose is shown with what it will do before you add anything. It is a tool, not a professional service: confirm readings with a physical kit and follow the directions on your chemical products. Read the safety notes.
