Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Pool Boy now tracks both water test results and chemical additions to your swimming pool. In the water testing section, enter test results for the chemical levels in your pool to calculate recommended chemical additions for pH, chlorine, alkalinity, calcium, cyanuric acid, salt and borate. Pool Boy automatically calculates the Calcite Saturation Index (CSI) to make sure your water quality is balanced. Then save, edit, email and graph your test results. In the chemical addition app area, enter the chemical additions to your pool to calculate the effects on water quality. Then save, edit, email and graph your chemical additions. Export your past test results or chemical additions in comma separated files (.csv) for viewing in spreadsheet applications on your computer. Supports US, Imperial and Metric units.

Pool Boy APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Pool Boy APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is e7cb1259769a43517591fea9805a120c.
