Frequently asked questions
Does Pool Brain include LSI and chemical dosing?
Yes. Pool Brain documents an Orenda LSI integration, automatic dosing, chemical-cost settings, and chemical inventory. Earlier PoolFlow copy that described Pool Brain as lacking LSI or profitability tools was inaccurate and has been removed.
Does Pool Brain provide profitability reporting?
Yes. Pool Brain documents route profit breakdowns and tools for identifying low-profit or losing pools. The current comparison credits those capabilities.
How much does Pool Brain cost?
Pool Brain does not publish a simple flat starting price on the linked pages. Its comparison page gives a $245 monthly example for three technicians servicing a combined 240 pools, but an actual quote should come directly from Pool Brain.
Does Pool Brain work offline?
Pool Brain documents offline dosing in its AI tab. We label that as partial offline support because the linked public material did not establish that the entire application is offline-first.
