PoolLevels

Pool chemistry, calculated.

PoolLevels reading: Corrosive, with the dose to add
What it does

The problem it takes off your plate

Type in your pool test readings and PoolLevels tells you what the water is doing and the one thing to add. Most pool apps hand you a wall of numbers and a red or green face. PoolLevels computes the saturation index the way a water chemist would, says whether the water is corrosive, balanced or scaling, and gives you a single dose sized for your pool, with the arithmetic printed underneath so you can check it yourself.

The chemistry is the real thing: the saturation index from pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid and water temperature, with the cyanurate correction most calculators leave out. Every dose comes with safe handling on the recommendation itself: half first with the pump running, circulate, retest, then the rest.

It will not guess. Leave out calcium hardness or cyanuric acid and it says so rather than assuming a number. And it will not track you: no account, no sign-in, no advertising.

Key features

What's in the app

The saturation index, done properly

Carbonate chemistry with activity coefficients and the cyanurate correction, from five readings and the water temperature.

One thing to add

Not a list of six chemicals. One dose, sized for your pool's gallons, rounded to something you can measure.

The working shown

Every recommendation prints the arithmetic that produced it, so the number is checkable.

Safe handling on every dose

Half first with the pump running, never mix chemicals, always acid into water. On the dose, not in a help page.

Read a test strip

Photograph a strip and the app reads each pad against the bottle's chart. Readings from a photo are labelled, and uncertain pads are marked.

Your history

Every reading you save, with its date, so you can see whether last month's dose did anything.

In the wild

How people use it

i.

After the pool store printout

Type the store's numbers in and see the index and the dose, with the math, before you buy what the counter recommends.

ii.

The weekend test

Dip a strip, photograph it, and get one thing to add and how to add it safely.

iii.

Checking last month's fix

Compare today's reading with the one before the dose and see whether it actually moved.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?+
Yes. Typing readings and getting the index and the dose is free, with no card, no account and no time limit. PoolLevels Pro, $4.99 a month or $41.99 a year in the app, adds unlimited strip scans.
Do I need an account?+
No. There is no sign-in. Your readings stay on your phone.
Why does it ask for calcium hardness and cyanuric acid?+
Because the answer depends on them. Leaving out cyanuric acid moved a real sample by 0.18 and flipped its verdict from corrosive to balanced, so the app asks instead of assuming.
How accurate is the strip reading?+
Strip photos are matched against the bottle's printed chart, every photo reading is labelled as such, and any pad far from every swatch is marked uncertain. Typing numbers from a store test is always one tap away.
The builder

Who makes it

PoolLevels is published by ALSTIG INC, founded by Ben Mouton, who spent 36 years in restaurants, 14 owning his own, before selling Mouton's Bistro & Bar in 2026 to build software full time. The restaurant apps came from that run. PoolLevels is built the same way: for the person who does the work and runs the business from the same truck, priced plainly, with no contracts.
