Your Plan

pH

High · ideal 7.2 – 7.6

You also want to know why this number matters before you dose — a high pH quietly erodes how well everything else works.

Free Chlorine

Low · ideal 1 – 3 ppm

You also want to know what’s actually driving this shortfall before you dose — sanitizer “low” usually means demand is outrunning supply, not the other way around.

ClearDose — brand-neutral pool chemistry guidance. 10/18/2026 at 03:03 AM.

ClearDose Premium

Save your pool once, keep every reading in one place, and get a nudge before something drifts.

Premium exists for the things that happen after the first analysis — saving your pool or spa so you can swap into it in one click, keeping every test-strip reading on one timeline across devices, getting a calm nudge before a parameter drifts out of range, reading deeper context on flagged readings, and seeing the trend across the season. The free calculator stays free — pool inputs, water analysis, dose-by-label plan, and the opening safety guidance all stay in Free.

What each tier gives you

  • Save your pool or spa once and pick it up in one click from the calculator.

  • A calm recurring nudge before a parameter drifts, plus a personalized care routine.

  • See trends as the season drifts, plus the full language of a flagged reading.

Pick the tier that fits you

All three tiers keep the free calculator free — pool inputs, basic results, dosing recommendations, and essential safety guidance never go behind a paywall. Start in Essential if pool and spa profiles are all you need; step up to Plus for recurring reminders, or to Pro when you want trend analysis and the deeper-guidance panel.

Why we built Premium

The free calculator stays free — that’s the original promise and it isn’t changing. Every reading, every dose-by-label recommendation, and the core safety guidance remain free with no account, no install, and no limit. Premium exists for the retention surface: pool and spa profiles that sync across devices, every reading you log on a single timeline, scheduled care reminders, full deeper guidance on flagged readings, and the dashboard that puts it all in one place. The revenue funds the ongoing maintenance of the free tool — the safety language, the parameter ranges, the label-honest dosing copy. Premium does not invent precise dose numbers — for acid and chlorine we still defer to your product label, exactly like the free tool. Whether you start in Essential, Plus, or Pro, the free tier never goes away.

Spa & hot-tub tracking lives in Essential.
