A Modular Pool Management System
Every pool is different. Start with a single device and expand as your needs grow.
Platypus Pool Systems is designed so homeowners can start with a single smart monitor and expand the system as needed. Each module works independently but becomes more powerful when connected together. All modules are wirelessly enabled with access to measurements and controls when away from home.
Key system modules include:
Pool Floatie
A solar-powered floating water monitor that continuously measures pool chemistry and temperature. It provides real-time insights into water quality.
- pH measurement
- Water quality
- Salinity
- Water temperature
Solar Water Control
Intelligent control for solar heating and circulation systems, optimising heating performance while minimising energy consumption.
- Roof temperature
- Heating control
Chemical Dispensing
Automated chemical management that works with sensor data to help maintain stable water balance and sanitation levels.
- Liquid Chlorine dispenser
- Liquid acid dispenser
Pressure Monitoring
Smart pressure sensing that detects filter performance and identifies when cleaning or maintenance is required.
- Pump pressure
Pump Control
Energy-aware pump management that schedules circulation based on water conditions, filtration needs, and energy efficiency.
Together these modules create a connected pool environment that continuously learns how your pool behaves and adjusts operation to maintain ideal conditions.
Intelligent Pool Management
Platypus is a modular smart pool-care system that combines connected monitoring, app-guided testing, weather-aware insights and practical pool advice to help Australian pool owners keep their pools clearer, better balanced and easier to manage.
Guidance that understands changing conditions
Rain, heat, sunlight, wind and debris can all affect your pool. Platypus uses pool and weather context to help explain what is changing and what may need attention next.
Help with common pool problems
When water turns cloudy, chlorine drops, pH moves out of range or equipment needs attention, Platypus Advisor helps guide you through practical next steps based on your pool setup and recent information.
Practical advice, with clear confidence
Platypus separates confirmed readings, manual entries, device measurements and estimated changes. When information is missing, old or uncertain, the app makes that clear so you can retest, confirm or take the next safe step.
Reduce Energy and Chemical Costs
Platypus Pool Systems helps improve efficiency in three key areas:
Smarter chemical use
By understanding real-time water conditions, the system helps avoid unnecessary chemical additions while maintaining safe sanitation levels.
Optimised pump operation
Pump control modules ensure circulation occurs when it is needed, not simply on fixed timers, reducing electricity consumption.
Improved filtration performance
Pressure monitoring detects filter loading and maintenance needs, keeping filtration systems operating at peak efficiency.
The result is lower running costs, less maintenance, and consistently better water quality.
Designed for Australian Pools
Platypus Pool Systems is designed and made in Australia, specifically for Australian conditions. Strong sunlight, changing weather, and high UV environments place unique demands on pool equipment.
The system is engineered to operate reliably outdoors, using solar-powered devices and robust electronics designed for long-term use in pool environments.
Simple, Connected Experience
All Platypus devices connect seamlessly to your phone, so you can check your pool at any time and receive alerts when something needs attention.

Smarter Pools
Pool care is not just about one reading. Weather, sunlight, usage, filtration, chemicals, equipment and recent maintenance all affect what your pool needs next. Platypus brings that context together so you can make better pool-care decisions with less guesswork.
By combining smart monitoring with AI that takes the guesswork out of pool care, Platypus helps you maintain water quality while reducing energy use, chemicals, and maintenance.
