How it works with what you already run.
- 01
Draw the pool
Draw the pool on your backyard camera and save a snapshot of it clear. That's the baseline.
- 02
A daily check
A daily snapshot looks for a shift toward green, floating leaves, or a cover blown off after high winds.
- 03
Book a visit
Your pool company gets first call for the extra visit: skim, shock, brush and test, or put the cover back after a storm.
- 04
Check it
The water in the after-snapshot is compared with the baseline, next to the tech's in-app photo of the test strip. Anything unclear goes to a person.
- 05
Hold the service to it
Every visit gets a receipt, so you can see the service you pay for is happening, not just billed.
Green on Friday, baseline by Saturday.
The daily snapshot that flagged the tint is the one the after-snapshot is checked against, with the test strip beside it.
Service you can see, not just a bill.
- A daily check of the pool zone you draw
- Your pool company first for any extra visit
- Water compared with your baseline, before and after
- The test strip photographed against its chart
- Every visit on record, weekly or extra
- Proves
- The pool was serviced and the water matched your baseline color when the after-snapshot was taken, with the test strip as photographed.
- What we won't do
- This isn't a pool safety alarm. It doesn't watch for people in or near the water.
- The camera reads color and debris. Water chemistry comes from the tech's test strip.
- People are never the subject, and faces are covered before any model sees a frame.
- In early access: we run it with design partners.
Service you can see.
One proof per visit: the daily check that flagged it, the technician's work and test strip, and the water back to your baseline.
It's a service record, not a pool safety alarm.

Questions pool owners ask
Is this a pool safety alarm?
No. It doesn't watch for people in or near the water. It checks the water's color and debris once a day.
Can the camera read the chemistry?
No. Chemistry comes from the technician's test strip, photographed against its chart. The camera reads color and debris.
Do I have to change pool companies?
No. Your pool company gets first call, and their regular visits can get receipts too.
