The HydroApps mobile app makes pool testing fast, simple, and accessible from anywhere in your facility. Staff can quickly enter chemistry readings, receive instant alerts for out-of-range values, log chemical adjustments, and automatically calculate water balance directly from their mobile device.
Starting a Pool Test
There are two ways to begin a pool test in the HydroApps mobile app:
Option 1: Quick Input Button
Tap the Quick Input (+) button at the bottom of the screen
Select Pool Test
Choose the correct facility
Option 2: Navigation Menu
Open the Navigation Menu in the bottom left corner
Tap Pool Test
Both methods provide access to active tests, previous entries, and new test creation.
Entering Pool Test Information
Once you begin a test, HydroApps automatically populates the current scheduled testing time. If needed, you can manually adjust the test time to reflect when the reading was actually taken.
Enter your pool chemistry readings, including:
Free Chlorine
Combined Chlorine
pH
Alkalinity
Other configured chemistry values
HydroApps automatically performs calculations for you as values are entered.
Out-of-Range Alerts
If any reading falls outside of your configured range limits, HydroApps will automatically highlight the value so staff can immediately identify issues requiring attention.
If pool test alerts are enabled, staff may also receive in-app notifications when out-of-range conditions are logged.
Additional Questions & Chemical Logging
Depending on your facility’s setup, you may also be able to:
Answer custom operational questions
Log chemicals added to the water
Add comments or notes related to the test
Once complete, tap Save and Exit to store the entry.
Resuming & Reviewing Pool Tests
Pool tests can be reviewed or resumed at any time within the app. This allows staff to continue unfinished entries or review previously logged readings throughout the day.
Logging Custom Time Entries
If you need to enter a test outside of the scheduled testing intervals:
Tap the green + Begin Pool Test button
Select the actual test time
Enter the chemistry readings normally
This helps maintain accurate operational records even when testing occurs at non-standard times.
Water Balance Calculations
When logging water balance information, HydroApps automatically:
Pulls in the current chemistry data
Calculates water balance values
Displays alerts and tooltips for conditions needing attention
This helps staff quickly evaluate overall water quality and make informed treatment decisions.
Finalizing the Test
After entering all required information:
Review the readings
Confirm any alerts or adjustments
Tap Finalize to complete the pool test entry
All data is automatically saved and accessible through both the mobile app and web platform.
