Mystery Part Lab

Send the weird pool part nobody wants to guess on.

PartSnap is built around a simple field truth: the wrong part order costs time, callbacks, and trust. Mystery Part Lab invites pool techs, instructors, creators, distributors, and manufacturers to test real parts and help improve the proof workflow.

For techs

Get a cleaner second opinion

Use PartSnap to capture the part, visible evidence, missing proof, callback risk, and a senior-tech/vendor packet.

For trainers

Turn misses into lessons

Low-confidence parts become field scenarios for apprentice mode, CPO student discussion, and safer verification habits.

For partners

Help verify common field clues

Manufacturers and distributors can help shape partner-verified cards without implying endorsement before an agreement exists.

How it works

Capture the part and the proof

Photograph the part, model plate, molded number, label, or the wider equipment context.

Review the possible match

SplashLens returns possible matches, visible evidence, missing proof, alternatives, and verification notes.

Share the packet

Copy or share a conservative packet for a senior tech, vendor counter, instructor, or manufacturer support route.

Save proof for later

Save the result to Service Proof Passport so the tech can find the reasoning again by customer and equipment.

What to capture

Better photos make better field packets.

PartSnap works best when the tech captures both the part and the proof around it. A clean close-up helps identify markings, while a second wider photo helps show where the part lives on the equipment.

Before ordering, verify the possible match against the model plate, current parts diagram, dimensions, and qualified tech or manufacturer guidance.
Useful proof photos
  • Old heater labels and control boards
  • Salt cell markings and flow switches
  • Automation boards, relays, actuators, and remotes
  • Light niches, transformers, and retrofit clues
  • Robot parts, power supplies, tracks, brushes, and cables
  • Valves, unions, lids, baskets, seals, sensors, and O-rings
