What the radar watches
Scuba, EcoSurfer, HydroComm, demo units
Aiper Scuba X1 / X1 Pro Max, Scuba V3, N-series, EcoSurfer, app-control, HydroComm, wireless charging docks, fine-filter proof, and dealer demo-unit intake checks were refreshed for field reference.
Smart backyard control
IntelliCenter, OmniLogic, OmniPL, iAquaLink, RS-485 devices, relays, actuators, schedule confusion, app offline issues, and connected pump/heater control.
Heaters, heat pumps, chillers
Raypak, Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, AquaCal, Gulfstream, flow faults, defrost, refrigerant-service boundaries, heater lockouts, and model-plate proof.
Retrofit and app-connected lights
IntelliBrite, MicroBrite, ColorLogic, WaterColors, CMP/PAL, niche clues, voltage, transformer load, GFCI trips, wrong colors, and automation modes.
Controllers, feeders, UV, ozone, AOP
ORP/pH controllers, Rola-Chem, CAT, BECS, Chemtrol, Stenner, Prominent, Walchem, probes, flow cells, injection fittings, and overfeed risk.
Automatic covers and safety signals
Coverstar, Cover-Pools, APC, cover pumps, ropes, tracks, motors, key switches, crooked travel, standing water, and manual-operation warnings.
AQUA New & Improved intake
Jandy TruClear salt, CCEI Antea VS / Vigipool pump control, Jandy Infinite WaterColors, SunnyWhale FinWhale smart dosing, Water Tech Volt vacs, and spa/hot-tub plumbing signals were reviewed for field-reference coverage.
Hot tub and swim spa support
Jet flow, spa packs, sanitizer drift, pipe and jet purge, filters, ozone systems, mineral cartridges, no-heat calls, and small-volume chemistry need a dedicated field lane.
Drop-in salt replacement proof
TruClear-style replacement workflows need model, dimensions, controller display, salt test, blade proof, cleaning-cap proof, and manual verification before quoting.
Field intelligence - July 16, 2026
What we learned from the current software and product field.
Finish-later field proof
Task Hub's draft-and-resume pattern is useful at the stop. SplashLens is adapting it for Service Proof Passport so techs can save incomplete proof locally, return later, and send a cleaner senior-tech packet.

ProValet, PoolDial, Paythepoolman, and The Service Program are building routing, billing, scheduling, customer portals, and accounting. SplashLens should export better proof to those systems instead of rebuilding their back offices.

Temperature, lighting, filtration, pumps, chemistry, remote monitoring, and alerts reinforce the Connected Pool Network lane. Techs need app screenshots, controller labels, manual readings, alert time, and local panel status before changing hardware.

LiDAR pool-cover measuring is a manufacturer workflow, not ours to copy. SplashLens can still teach the pre-measure proof: device capability, pool perimeter, steps, raised walls, obstructions, anchor context, photos, and manufacturer verification.

Faster cooling, ozone, higher-flow circulation, integrated temperature/pressure/flow sensing, stronger Wi-Fi, maintenance reminders, and remote control create a clear service-proof checklist for connected cold-plunge equipment.

Competitors use chemical and supply logs for billing. SplashLens should keep capturing product, amount, stock source, and estimated stop cost, then export that evidence without pretending to be the accounting system.

In-app chemistry recommendations are useful only when the packet preserves the manual readings, pool volume, product strength, calculator or label source, suggested amount, and amount actually applied. SplashLens now adds Dose Basis to Service Proof drafts and exports.

The new field card captures in-line or off-line model, pool volume, LED state, flow, plumbing orientation, mounting, lamp age, ozone tubing, check valve, and manual sanitizer reading. AOP remains supplemental treatment, not a replacement for required residuals or qualified service.

SplashLens now covers camera fields of view, blind spots, armed state, walk tests, audible alarms, alert destinations, backup power, network state, keypad access, and privacy. Monitoring is supplemental and never replaces supervision, barriers, gates, covers, required alarms, lifeguards, or emergency plans.

Paythepoolman 2.0 reinforces the market demand for cleaner, faster mobile work. SplashLens is applying that lesson to save-and-resume proof, priority, and handoff while leaving scheduling, routing, billing, and invoicing to established service systems.
