1

Identify the part.

PartSnap gives the tech a cautious possible path from a photo, label, code, or part clue, then asks for the proof needed before anyone orders blind.

2

Prove the visit.

Save photos, readings, notes, and the plain-English explanation so the customer, boss, or next tech can see what happened.

3

Escalate smarter.

Copy clean details for a boss, experienced tech, supplier, distributor counter, trainer, or facility contact instead of sending a vague text thread.

The flagship push

Proof for the stop. Not another CRM.

SplashLens does not replace Jobber, Skimmer, Pool Brain, billing, dispatch, or your route app. It helps with the field moment those systems usually do not solve: what the tech saw, what proof is missing, what should be verified, and what needs to be sent next.

Start in the right mode

One app. Three front doors.

SplashLens keeps the deep tech tools available, but the first screen should match the person holding the phone.

I fix pools for a living PartSnap, codes, dosing, visit notes, and field tools first. I am responsible for a pool, not the repair tech Request access to the partner-led facility/CPO pilot lane. Service company or multi-site operator? Facility access, QR pilot-in-a-box, usage reporting, and support routing.
Show, don't tell

The app should feel obvious in three seconds.

A tech sees PartSnap. The boss sees clean job details. A facility operator sees the simple wizard. That is the product story.

Identify it. Prove it. Explain it. Train from it. Remember it.

SplashLens turns the messy stop into a repeatable loop: name the likely part or issue, collect proof, explain the next move, coach the tech, and keep the history findable.

PartSnap Parts ID

The scanner for the part nobody can name.

Photo an impeller, seal, grid, valve, salt cell, robot part, fitting, basket, gauge, O-ring, control label, or pump-pad component. PartSnap returns possible matches, missing proof, and safer search terms so the tech can verify before ordering.

Facility Assist

A different workflow for the person responsible for the pool.

Swim schools, apartments, hotels, and aquatic facilities need fast documentation and escalation, not a repair-tech rabbit hole.

CPO / Facility Mode

A lighter front door for the people responsible for the pool.

Facility Assist is being kept as a partner-led access lane while the workflow is shaped with CPO educators, facility operators, and support partners: daily checks, chemical dosing, contamination-event documentation, basic equipment proof, and support escalation.

Request Facility Access ->

Daily checkReadings, clarity, equipment sound, required documentation.
Contamination eventClose, document, follow approved standards, escalate.
Basic equipment proofLabels, visible checks, codes, photos, no invasive repair.
Support packetGive human experts readings, symptoms, photos, and context.

PartSnap gets the tech unstuck. Connected Pool Network handles the smarter pad.

The field is moving into smart robots, app-connected automation, variable-speed pumps, heat pumps, lighting systems, chemical controllers, automatic covers, and sensor-driven backyard equipment. SplashLens turns those moving pieces into proof prompts, callback warning signs, training moments, and clean details for the next person helping.

One brand for cleaner stops and more time back.

SplashLens is the field reference layer for the moment a tech is standing at a pad with a fault, a customer waiting, and no time for vague web results: code lookup, dosing math, dictated service notes, scanner workflows, and offline manual tools in one place. Handle it before the call and look like the tech who came prepared.

How It Works

Zero setup. Open it and go.

SplashLens is live on the iOS App Store and Google Play, and the free web app still works from the browser on any device.

1

Open app.splashlens.com in your browser

On any phone, tablet, or laptop. No download, no login. Just open the URL and you're in.

2

Add to your home screen (optional, takes 5 seconds)

Install from the App Store or Google Play, or open the web app from any browser. The browser route still supports a full-screen install option when available.

3

Save your pools once

Enter each pool on your route - name, volume, shape, filter type. They're saved to your device. Every subsequent visit, just pick the pool and the calculators pre-fill.

4

Use it offline all day

After the first load, SplashLens caches everything to your device. Pull the error code reference at a garage panel with no signal. Run the SLAM calculator in a basement equipment room. It just works.

Honest Comparison

Online scanner
AI Equipment Scanner

Point. Check. Document.

Point your camera at an error display, fault-code panel, equipment label, or test strip. SplashLens uses online AI for the scan, then keeps manual lookup ready when signal disappears. Treat scan output as a field reference, not a repair guarantee.

ERR

Error Code Camera Scan

Aim at the display. SplashLens attempts to read the fault code online and returns reference causes plus next checks. No typing when you have signal, manual lookup when you do not.

pH

Test Strip Photo Reading

Snap your test strip to get approximate chemistry ranges for field triage, then verify with a calibrated test kit before dosing.

PART

Parts Identification

Photo an unknown part and get suggested manufacturer, model, part number, and search terms to verify before ordering.

Questions

FAQ

Is SplashLens really free? What's the catch?

Core SplashLens tools stay free: manual lookup, calculators, checklists, notes, basic PartSnap, and reference guides. PartSnap Pro is optional at $4.99/month or $39/year for heavier online scanner use. Facility/CPO workflows are intentionally gated as a partner-led access lane while training and operator partners shape the workflow.

Where does PartSnap tell me to buy the part?

PartSnap does not guarantee a seller or fit. The safe path is: verify the model plate and part markings, check your normal local distributor or SCP-style counter first, then use any online links as price-check/search help. If affiliate links are configured, they are disclosed, and the tech still needs to verify fit against current diagrams and manufacturer guidance.

How does offline mode work?

When you first open SplashLens, the service worker caches the app, error code data, calculators, and reference tables to your device. Manual lookup and calculators work without signal after first load. AI camera scanning requires internet.

Does SplashLens compete with route apps or service CRMs?

No. Those are service management platforms: billing, invoicing, customer CRM, route optimization. They run the company. SplashLens supports the stop with code lookup, scanner, dosing, reports, and poolside reference. We intentionally do not do billing.

How do I install it on my phone?

On iPhone, install SplashLens from the App Store. On Android, use the Google Play listing or open app.splashlens.com and use the browser install option when available. The web app remains free for field reference use.

What brands are covered in the error code library?

Hayward (TriStar, Super Pump, MasterTemp, OmniLogic), Pentair (IntelliFlow, IntelliFlo, MasterTemp, EasyTouch), Jandy (iAqualink, JXi), Zodiac, Maytronics/Dolphin (robot cleaners), Polaris, Kreepy Krauly, Waterway, and more. Beatbot and Betta robotic cleaners are in the current expansion.

What does the AI scanner actually do?

Error Scan, PartSnap, and Test Strip reader are live online. Error Scan attempts to read pool equipment displays and returns reference causes plus next checks. PartSnap suggests possible part IDs and search terms. Test Strip reader estimates readings for quick field triage. Without internet, use manual lookup and manual entry.

Is my pool data private?

Pool profiles, chemistry history, and route data live on your device in localStorage. AI scan images are sent to the scanner endpoint only when you use the online AI feature. There is no account or backend sync for your customer list.
