Pool service is part chemistry, part mechanical, and part detective work. A green pool could be algae, copper staining, or pollen — and the treatment for each is completely different. A heater that won't fire could be a flow switch, a gas valve, an igniter, or a cracked heat exchanger. Getting the diagnosis right the first time saves you a return trip and keeps your customer happy.

PoolPal gives you a master tech's diagnostic instinct on every call. Photograph the pool and get an instant water chemistry analysis with treatment recommendations. The troubleshooting wizard covers pumps, heaters, filters, salt cells, and automation systems with brand-specific guidance for Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, and Raypak equipment.
