The chemistry and money tools that turn a logbook into a profit engine.
PoolFlow computes the full Langelier Saturation Index in real time with CYA-corrected alkalinity, so you know whether water is corrosive, balanced, or scaling — not just a single dose hint. Pool Brain offers basic dosing without true LSI.
Try the free LSI calculatorPoolFlow prices every recommendation from your actual chemical inventory, so each dose shows what it costs you. Pool Brain's dosing isn't tied to your inventory prices, so you can't see the margin impact of a visit.
Worth: ~$50/mo in precise dosingPoolFlow flags pools where chemical costs exceed 30% of the service fee, so you know which stops to reprice or drop. Pool Brain has no per-pool profitability analysis.
Worth: $100-200/mo in hidden marginPoolFlow stores everything on your iPhone and runs with no signal — gated yards, rural stops, basements. Pool Brain needs connectivity to work.
