Overview
The Water Quality module helps you run safe, compliant water operations across pools, spas, splash pads, and other water attractions. You define acceptable chemistry ranges once in a Water Quality Ruleset, staff record readings in a Checklist using a Water Quality Question, and Mobaro flags any reading that falls outside the range — with reporting and validation built in.
🚀 Early Access: Water Quality is an early-access feature — expect changes and new features as the module evolves. To enable it for your organization, contact your Mobaro representative or support@mobaro.com.
Why this matters: Water chemistry has hard regulatory limits, and they're the same wherever the test is taken. Holding those limits centrally — rather than re-typing them into every Checklist — means every reading is judged against one authoritative standard, out-of-range results are caught automatically, and updating a limit updates every Checklist that uses it.
How the pieces fit together
Four parts make up the module:
Part | Role |
Defines the acceptable minimum and maximum for each parameter. Managed under | |
Sub-rule | A set of thresholds within a ruleset, optionally scoped to a Location Group — so pools, spas, or regions can carry different limits under one ruleset. |
The Checklist element staff use to record readings. It links to a ruleset; the right sub-rule is applied automatically based on the scheduled Location. | |
Schedule compliance | The setting Require validation on rule deviation holds any Result with an out-of-range reading for review before it can be approved. |

A note on parameters
Every parameter in a ruleset must have a minimum and maximum value. Within each Water Quality Question, you then choose which of those parameters staff must actually check at that point in the day.
Best practice: Use this flexibility to avoid unnecessary checks — for example, enable pH and chlorine on every Checklist, but include a less frequent parameter only where it applies to your site.
Frequently asked questions
Q: How do I get the Water Quality module for my organization?
A: Contact your Mobaro representative or support@mobaro.com. The module is in early access.
Q: Can I edit rulesets after they've been created?
A: Yes, but changes apply to all future checks. Past Results remain unchanged.
Q: What if a reading falls outside the range?
A: Staff see a validation warning in the mobile app. Depending on your setup, the deviation can also create an Assignment or hold the Result for validation. See Understanding validation warnings and failures.
