The Pool Care App

Here's a video tour of the app.

"We love your advice on how to cut cost of using alternative chemicals as opposed to having to buy what the pool store offers, such as using baking soda instead of alkalinity plus. It has not even been 24 hours and our pool looks amazing!"

An app that knows what your pool needs.

Test your water, enter your numbers, and get a custom treatment plan in under 60 seconds. Exact chemicals, exact amounts, based on your actual pool. And you won’t be sold a bunch of chemicals you don’t need.

Step 1

Test your pool water.

Use any pool test strips, drops, or a digital reader you already own.

Step 2

Enter your test results.

Just slide each chemical reading into place or type in the numbers. Test for basics like chlorine and pH, or get detailed with alkalinity, stabilizer, salt, and calcium hardness.

Real reviews from the app stores.

"Worth every penny! I love this app - gives very specific pool treatment guidelines and super easy to use. I use my Taylor test kit, enter the values and get my treatment - easy peasy. My pool looks great with good water chemistry! Highly recommend."

IE3D · App Store

"I understand pool care now!! This app makes everything SO easy. The fact that I can type in test results and it tells me EXACTLY what to add to the water is incredible. I was getting tired of guessing."

Summerandsun1984 · App Store

"Fantastic app! I love this app, the YouTube channels, and I've learned tons about pool care. My only issue is that I couldn't add another body of water and I needed it for pool and spa. Great customer service! Would highly recommend."

TCat2000 · App Store

"Best app out there! This app is so easy to use. My water is so clear and blue because of this app that my friends believe I just dye my water blue 😆. Their chat as well as the customer service is top notch! Do yourself a favor and download this app and subscribe."

"I'm just getting acquainted with the app because it's finally starting to warm up here in Alabama on the gulf. I've learned a lot just receiving the emails and now with this informative app at my fingertips."

Charles W. · Verified Purchase

"Biggest struggle for me was keeping the water at the proper levels with the chemicals. I signed up for the app that tells you exactly what chemicals need to be added to the pool. That was spot on when I took a water sample to the pool store. Yes, I would recommend you to other pool owners."

Mark G. · Verified Purchase

"No issues the first year thanks to your app and balancing chemicals. The content and the confidence it provided me was worth the cost. The app has been a game changer."

Anonymous · Inground Pool Owner

"I have been sort of struggling to get a handle on what really is going on. So far I think the app has helped me start to understand better what's happening. I love the app, but would like fuller descriptions of what's happening, especially the treatment section."

Anonymous · Inground Pool Owner

"Prior to getting the Pool Care app last summer, I was using chemicals multiple times a week trying to keep my pool water balanced! I was fighting a losing battle for years! I've saved so much money on chemicals this summer. The cost of my chemicals this season has gone down by more than half!"

Anonymous · Above Ground Pool Owner

"Simple, easy, and intuitive to use. Unlike other pool care apps they are not trying to sell you any chemicals. They are just trying to help you properly maintain your pool."

MoonStarDogs · App Store

"This is the app I've been wishing for for decades. Makes pool care simple, and is clearly based on a serious dataset of pool care knowledge. Intuitive, easy, smooth."

Conor O. · Google Play

"Balancing the water and understanding pool chemistry using this app is fantastic. All the instructions, whether written or in the videos, are easy to understand and the steps are easy to follow with confidence."

Elizabeth S. · App Store

"Super helpful app for balancing your pool water chemistry. The app creator is super helpful and has great customer service. Thanks Swim U Team!"

Kayla S. · Google Play

"This app has been great for me, being brand new to owning a pool. The information is easy to absorb and it gives you everything you need while staying out of the weeds."

MicahAK99 · App Store

"The part where you can plug in your pool chemistry is pretty darn cool. I've eliminated pool store visits and just order online the few chemicals I need. Takes all the chemistry and intimidation out of the equation."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a fancy test kit?

No. You can use any brand of test strips, a liquid drop kit, or a printout from a pool store. Type in the numbers in and the app does all the calculations for you.

Does the app work for my pool?

Yes! It works for every pool including inground and above ground. You can build your pool profile with vinyl, plaster, fiberglass, salt water, chlorine, bromine, and more.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Your plan and the video library are available offline. That way, you're not standing next to the pool waiting for a signal.

Can I cancel?

Yes. You can cancel anytime, right from your phone. And you can request a refund from Apple or Google if you don't want to continue out the year.

Why does the app cost more in Euros?

We set one price at $49.99 USD. Apple and Google convert that into local pricing with Value Added Tax (VAT) and room for currency swings.

Do you offer a monthly subscription?

No, sorry. We just offer one annual plan for $49.99 with a 7-day free trial.

Does the app work for metric users?

Yes. You can add your pool volume in liters, temperature in Celsius, and chemical doses in grams and kilograms.

Can I add a hot tub along with my pool?

Not yet. The app handles only one pool. But we're planning to add hot tub support plus the ability to track multiple pools soon.
