Pool Maintenance
The Pool Chemical Reminder App That Works on Any Schedule
Pool chemicals don't follow a weekly calendar. Chlorine every 3–5 days. Shock treatment every 2 weeks. Algaecide monthly. pH adjustment as needed. Ripple sets custom interval alarms for every chemical treatment — so you stop guessing and start swimming.
Why pool maintenance alarms are different
Most alarm apps repeat on fixed weekdays. But pool chemistry doesn't care what day of the week it is — it cares how many days have passed since your last treatment. Add chlorine on a Thursday, and your next reminder should be Sunday or Monday, not "every Thursday."
This mismatch is why pool owners either over-treat (wasting chemicals and money) or under-treat (ending up with green water at the worst possible time). What you actually need is a timer that starts from when you last treated, not from a fixed calendar date.
How Ripple works: Set a "Pool Chlorine" alarm to repeat every 4 days. When it fires, you add the chlorine and dismiss the alarm. Ripple automatically sets the next reminder for 4 days from that moment — not 4 days from when you originally created it. Your schedule stays accurate even when life gets in the way.

Australia and New Zealand pool owners
With over 1.2 million residential pools in Australia and 150,000+ in New Zealand, pool maintenance is a genuine year-round responsibility for a significant part of the population. During summer peaks, chlorine demand increases significantly — meaning your intervals may need to shorten from every 5 days to every 3 days.
Ripple makes it easy to adjust. Edit the alarm, change the interval, and the next reminder recalculates automatically.
