36MDC

Commercial aquatics

The pool deck record
stays on the deck.

36MDC is a mobile workflow for opening inspections, water chemistry, contamination response, and incident reports — captured where they happen, not back at the office.

The day-to-day problem

Out-of-range readings should not be an after-the-fact discovery.

Aquatic operators have one of the most repetitive compliance jobs anywhere. Before opening, somebody verifies safety equipment, signage, enclosure integrity, water clarity, and the contamination-response kit. Throughout the day, staff log chemistry readings and react when readings are out of range.

On paper, the work is tedious. On a pool deck, it is easy to delay. After the fact, it is hard to prove. Any operator running more than one pool, more than one site, or a year-round lesson program has a strong reason to standardize this work.

What we'd build for your facility.

Six logs, mapped to CDC MAHC operation records and the aquatic facility inspection toolkit. Built for operators running one pool or twelve.

  1. 01

    Daily opening inspection checklist

    High-frequency, high-visibility, strong before-opening use case. Aligns to the MAHC daily inspection items.

    Facility, venue, time, inspector, pass or fail across deck, exits, drain covers, signage, safety equipment, recirculation, contamination kit, enclosure, water clarity. Cannot mark ready-to-open if a critical item fails.

  2. 02

    Daily water chemistry and monitoring log

    The most routine aquatics record and the clearest time-series story for managers.

    Venue, time, free chlorine or bromine, pH, temperature, optional alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, combined chlorine, bather load. Configurable out-of-range thresholds with mandatory retest.

  3. 03

    Water contamination response log

    Ideal proof point for capturing the event on-site, with the closure and remediation timeline intact.

    Responder, supervisor, time, affected venue, people in water, contamination type, closure time, water-quality measurements through remediation, reopen time, total contact time.

  4. 04

    Illness or injury incident report

    Strongest liability-focused expansion after the daily logs are in place.

    Person involved, time, location, incident type, narrative, responding staff, disposition, manager notified, optional EMS activation, optional witness statements and scene photos.

  5. 05

    Chemical inventory and PPE check

    Highly reusable for multi-site aquatic operators. Catches storage and labeling problems before an inspection does.

    Site, chemical product, quantity on hand, storage secure, labeling, PPE available, optional expiration date, eyewash or shower check.

  6. 06

    Staff certification and readiness tracker

    Easy expansion form, valuable for seasonal hiring and shift coverage.

    Staff name, role, certification type, issue and expiration dates, verified by, shift assignment. Expired certification blocks shift assignment.

Where 36MDC fits

Not a full pool management platform.

36MDC is the offline field-record layer for the forms, logs, inspections, incidents, and corrective actions that still happen on paper, clipboards, spreadsheets, email threads, or disconnected tools.

  • Notpool-management or membership software
  • Notreal-time chemical-sensor monitoring
  • Notchemical-automation systems

36MDC sits alongside whatever you use to manage memberships, lessons, and facility booking. We are the layer for the deck-side records that prove the pool was safe to open.

What your office gets

Field records become business data.

Once records sync, the office can search, export, audit, and report on them. The first workflow usually reveals the larger opportunity.

  • 01

    Find a record fast

    Filter every chemistry log, opening inspection, or incident by venue, date, or operator. The day before a health visit, the records are already in order.

  • 02

    Export cleanly

    Export a season of chemistry readings as a CSV. Hand a regional manager a range of opening inspections as a single PDF.

  • 03

    Track exceptions

    See every out-of-range reading, every closure, and what was done about it. Nothing slips between shifts.

  • 04

    Spot trends

    Watch chlorine demand across a venue or a season. Notice the operator who needs coaching.

  • 05

    Generate reports

    Auto-build the weekly summary the GM wants. Skip the spreadsheet stitching that ate half a day.

  • 06

    Feed downstream

    Push records to the BI tool, the safety tracker, or the spreadsheet that already lives on someone's desk.

Why operators pick us.

Offline first

Records save the moment a reading is entered. When the device reconnects, everything syncs on its own. A weak signal at the far end of the deck does not lose the entry.

Honest readings

Out-of-range thresholds trigger the right closure or retest path. The form does not let a reading get rounded into compliance.

Multi-site by design

The same opening checklist and chemistry log work for one venue or twelve. A swim school or municipal operator can roll the pack across sites without re-templating.

Plans

Plans for teams like yours.

Every plan starts with a practical launch: one real workflow, configured around your team, tested in the field, and ready for office use. Larger engagements expand into more workflows, reporting, automation, and ongoing support.

  • Launch

    Teams digitizing their first field workflow.

    • Small team or single crew
    • One or two recurring forms
    • Paper, PDFs, or scattered spreadsheets
  • Field Operations

    Teams running multiple recurring workflows across crews or sites.

    • Multiple crews, sites, or programs
    • Subforms, conditional logic, formulas
    • Quarterly review cadence
  • Data Partner

    Teams that want ongoing help turning field data into reporting and decisions.

    • Reporting, dashboards, BI
    • Integrations and automation
    • Monthly engagement, managed backlog

Walk through your aquatic facility logs

30-minute demo on a real device. We'll cover opening inspections, chemistry logs, contamination response, and incident reports — and any specific log you flag in the booking notes.

We are accepting a small number of aquatic facilities and swim schools as launch partners before public release. We are honest about what is ready and what is not.
