- One timeline Every test and treatment in order.
- Plain answers Why a reading matters, in words.
The gap
You already have the numbers.
A test kit gives you five or six readings. It does not tell you which one matters today, how much of what to add, or when to test again. That last mile is where pool care gets complicated. It's exactly where Pool Headquarters is built to help.
How it works
A smarter pool in three steps.
-
Tell Pool HQ about your pool
Volume, sanitizer, surface, filter and equipment. A guided setup you do once.
-
Log your water test
Type in what your kit or strips already told you, standing at the water. A pool store report can be photographed instead.
-
Get clear direction
Pool HQ reads those numbers against your pool, says what to do, and schedules the follow-up test.
The Control Room
One screen, opened once a day.
The Control Room answers the question you actually have: is the pool ready, and if not, what do I do about it? Status first, in plain words. Then the short list of things worth doing today, and nothing else competing for attention.
- Today's status, stated rather than implied.
- Routine care you can mark Done or Later, each with a Why? you can open.
- Good to know notes when a reading needs context rather than action.
What to do next
An amount, not a direction.
"Lower your pH" is not something you can act on standing at the water with a bottle in your hand. Pool HQ works from your readings and your pool's volume, gives you a quantity, tells you when to test again, and shows what it expects the water to look like afterwards.
- A quantity, tied to your pool's actual volume.
- A retest date, not "later".
- The balance it predicts once the change lands.
- And when nothing needs doing, it says so and explains why.
Always check the amount against the product label. The label is the only thing that knows the strength of what is in your hand.
Why, and what happened
Nothing is a black box.
Guidance you cannot interrogate is just a number from a stranger. Every recommendation opens into the reasoning behind it. The Lab explains what each reading is, why it matters and how it behaves, at whatever depth you feel like going. And the Timeline keeps the record, so the pool's history is something you own rather than something you try to remember.
HQ+
Built to get better the longer you use it.
Every test adds to your pool's history. We're building HQ+ to turn that history into deeper insight into how your pool behaves over time.
- PlannedLearn your pool's patterns
- PlannedDeeper trends over time
- PlannedMore from your pool's history
The HQ+ features described here are planned and not available today. Pool Headquarters 1.0 is free and complete on its own.
Where the line is
What Pool HQ will not do.
Worth saying plainly, because a product that tells you to add chemicals to water people swim in should be clear about its own edges.
-
It does not replace the label
Pool HQ's suggested amount should always be checked against, and used consistently with, the product label.
-
It does not test your water
You test. Pool HQ interprets. The readings come from your own kit, your strips, or a pool store report you bring in.
-
It does not handle everything
Unusual or persistent problems, equipment faults, and anything that looks wrong in person are worth a professional's eyes.
Your pool already gives you the numbers. Pool HQ tells you what to do with them.
