Regulatory Compliance & SafetyPurpose
1. Automate the end-to-end capture, storage, monitoring, and reporting of pool chemical levels (chlorine, pH, alkalinity) for lidos, ensuring ongoing regulatory compliance, audit trail preservation, and real-time alerts for out-of-spec readings.
2. Automating routine chemical log entries minimizes human error, produces reliable, timestamped safety documentation, and provides data for health authority inspections.
3. Supports both manually entered or IoT-provided chemical readings, and produces automated daily, weekly, and exception reports sent to facility managers or regulators.
Trigger Conditions
1. Scheduled intervals (e.g., every 2 hours, daily) or custom calendar event triggers the automation.
2. Web form or app form submission triggers pool chemical logging automator.
3. IoT pool sensor/API updates introduce new automated readings for processing.
4. Out-of-range chemical values automatically trigger real-time alert flows.
