Stop guessing.
Start dosing.

Snap a photo of your test strip. PoolDose reads it against a calibrated chart and tells you exactly how much of which chemical to add — for your gallons, your chlorine type.

No app yet — we’re building it. Join the waitlist for early access and founding pricing.

Eyeball method vs. measured method

Same strip. Two very different Saturdays.

Step
How it goes today
How PoolDose will work
01 · Test
Dip the strip, then squint at the bottle’s color chart in the sun.
Snap one photo of the wet strip on your phone.
02 · Read
“Is that green or yellow-green?” Call it a guess.
Calibrated reading: FC 3.2 ppm, pH 7.4, TA 90 ppm.
03 · Dose
A scoop. Maybe two. Whatever the bucket says.
1 lb 4 oz cal-hypo — sized to your 12,500 gal.
04 · Result
Hope it clears before the party on Saturday.
Balanced water, no overshoot, no $400 panic.

No more $400 algae panic.

What we’re building · Procedure

Four steps, no chemistry degree.

PROCEDURE 01

Dip & snap

Dip your strip, take a photo. PoolDose reads the pads against a calibrated chart — no squinting at the bottle.

PROCEDURE 02

Get your dose

Exact amounts in cups and pounds for your volume and your chemical types — liquid, tabs or cal-hypo.

PROCEDURE 03

Log & trend

Every reading saved automatically. Watch FC, pH and TA drift over the season before they become a problem.

PROCEDURE 04

Open & close

Seasonal checklists that tell you what to add and when — from spring open to winter close.

Lab notes

Honest answers.

Q: When does it launch?

We’re building PoolDose right now. There’s no app yet — join the waitlist and you’ll get first access the moment it’s ready.

Q: What do I get for signing up?

Early access before public launch, founding pricing locked in for good, and a direct say in which features we build first.

Q: Which test strips will it read?

We’re calibrating against the common 6-in-1 and 7-in-1 strips first (the ones in most big-box and pool-store kits). Tell us yours when you join.

Q: Does it work for salt pools?

Yes. Salt chlorinators still come down to the same free chlorine, pH and stabilizer numbers — PoolDose doses for those the same way.

Q: Will the free calculator stay free?

Yes. The manual dose calculator is free forever. Photo reading, history and seasonal programs are the planned Pro features.
