How to Turn Facilities & Bodies of Water On/Off

Turning Facilities and Bodies of Water on or off helps ensure your team only sees what's currently in use—reducing confusion, streamlining operations, and keeping your pool testing dashboard clean during off-seasons or maintenance closures.

If you manage a facility with seasonal pools, splash pads, or bodies of water that aren't open year-round, keeping your pool testing dashboard clean and relevant is essential. When these features are inactive, they don’t need to appear in your staff's daily workflow or trigger test reminders.

In this quick tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to “turn off” seasonal facilities or bodies of water in HydroApps’ Facility Manager. This ensures your team only sees the pools that are currently in operation—reducing clutter, improving efficiency, and helping staff focus on what’s most important.

With just a few clicks in the admin dashboard, you can mark specific pools as closed, and just as easily reopen them when it’s time to get back in the water. Whether it's for off-season downtime or temporary closures due to construction or repairs, this feature helps keep your testing and compliance processes as streamlined as possible.

Why this matters:

• Avoid confusion or missed tasks from inactive facilities appearing in your test schedule

• Reduce unnecessary reminders and data entry

• Stay focused on the operations that matter in the moment
