Clear pool status
See whether your pool is ready to swim, which categories need attention, and what changed recently.
Designed and made for Australian pools
Know what your pool needs next.
Platypus combines an intuitive iPhone app, guided testing, smart monitoring, and an expert advisor so pool owners can understand water quality, equipment, routines, and chemical care in one place.
Expert guided help
Use the advisor for cloudy water, green pools, stains, flow problems, suspected leaks, and more.
Built-in libraries
Chemical and equipment libraries give recommendations practical context instead of generic pool advice.
The Platypus app
A full pool record, not just a test log.
The app brings together pool profile, water readings, projected state, maintenance entries, environment context, equipment and circulation settings, advisor flows, routines, and device status.
Expert advisor
Guided help for real pool problems.
Platypus includes an expert advisor for common pool issues such as cloudy water, green pools, black spot, stains, poor flow or filter problems, and suspected leaks.
Advice is grounded in the pool profile, latest water readings, environment, events, equipment, and library data. Rules perform the checks; the advisor explains what matters and what to do next.
Chemical and equipment libraries
Recommendations need product and equipment context.
Platypus is being built with governed chemical and equipment libraries so guidance can account for the pool products, pumps, filters, heaters, chlorinators and operating choices actually in use.
Known products and safer actions
Chemical records provide product context for advice, dose explanations, active ingredients, and safety checks. The app remains conservative when readings, product data, or confidence are missing.
Pump, filter and heating context
Equipment records help explain circulation runtime, turnover, pressure, heating and maintenance needs using the profile of the pool rather than a generic schedule.
Events become part of the advice
Maintenance, backwash, water additions, chemical additions and confirmed tests give the advisor a clean timeline to interpret what has happened since the last trusted reading.
Platypus devices
The Pool Floatie adds live context between tests.
The solar-powered Pool Floatie is designed to sit in the water and provide ongoing signals that help the app understand trends between manual or test-strip readings.
Platypus is modular: pool monitoring comes first, with future expansion around circulation, heating, pressure monitoring and controlled dosing where explicit safety rules and owner authorisation apply.
Guided test-strip capture
The latest Platypus card supports app-assisted readings.
The reference card helps the app guide capture, calibrate colour, review confidence and keep the owner in control before a result becomes part of the pool history.
Installation-centred
The system learns the specific pool.
Volume, surface area, sanitation type, surface, placement, edge, usage, local water source, environmental exposure and user-entered events all shape the advice Platypus shows.
