Set per-pool chemistry ranges
PoolHelm works out what “in range” means for each pool on its own. You don’t configure it.
What it uses
Three things about that pool:
- Its stabilizer (cyanuric acid) level.
- Whether it’s sanitized with chlorine or salt.
- Whether it’s a pool or a spa.
A chlorine reading that’s fine in a heavily stabilized pool is not fine in one with no stabilizer at all. PoolHelm treats those two pools differently rather than pretending they’re the same.
Setting your own targets
Open the pool and find its chemistry overrides section, then set the ranges you want. Use it for a customer’s preference, an unusual surface, or a quirk you’ve learned the hard way.
From then on, when a tech tests and treats that pool, PoolHelm measures against your targets, and the recommended chemical amounts follow them too.
Anything you don’t override keeps PoolHelm’s own calculation for that pool, so you only ever set the exceptions.
Worth knowing. The ranges on your customer's service report come from the same place as the ones your tech sees in the field. The app and the report can't disagree about whether a reading was in range.
