How This Works

Every reading combines live National Weather Service data, EPA UV readings, and CFPG's pool-care interpretation into one maintenance-planning score and a short plan.

This is not swimming-safety clearance. Follow official alerts, go indoors when thunder is heard, and test your water before treating it.
