Pool New Tech Radar

New pool tech is moving fast. Field references have to keep up.

SplashLens tracks fast-moving pool equipment categories so techs can capture the right proof, understand field flags, and avoid blind ordering when robots, automation, lighting, heat pumps, chemical controllers, covers, and sensors show up on the route.
