Your existing service workflow
Use the tools your team already trusts for route planning, assignments, work orders, customer context, and visit records.
This page does not describe or assume a Skimmer integration.
For pool service teams using Skimmer
Keep your routes in place. Add chemistry visibility between visits.
Amano is a scheduled pool-chemistry monitoring layer for teams that already have route and work-order software. Keep your service workflow where it is, and use Amano to run scheduled measurements at the pool.
Important: Amano is not affiliated with Skimmer. This page describes a neutral workflow fit; it does not claim an integration, data sync, or partnership.
Two tools. Two jobs.
Your route workflow
Plan and assign service work
Keep using the route, work-order, and visit-record tools your team already has.
Amano
Measure scheduled pool chemistry
Review scheduled readings, timestamps, and alerts as a separate source of chemistry context.
A clear division of labor
Keep route planning where it already lives. Put scheduled chemistry in its own lane.
A route or work-order platform helps coordinate the work your team performs. Amano addresses a different question: what did the scheduled chemistry test show at this pool, and when?
Amano chemistry visibility
Amano uses liquid reagents to measure free chlorine, combined chlorine, pH, and total alkalinity—normally twice daily, with timing and frequency adjustable.
Readings are timestamped, alerts are sent after tests, and the device uses built-in cellular.
A practical service-day workflow
Use each system for the job it is built to support.
There is no need to invent a software connection to make the workflow useful. Treat Amano readings as chemistry context that your team can review alongside its normal service process.
Plan the route
Open the route and work-order view your team already uses to organize the day.
Let Amano test
A scheduled liquid-reagent test measures the four listed chemistry values at the property.
Review the signal
When a test completes, review its timestamped reading and any alert in Amano.
Service and record
Follow your facility process, complete the work, and record what your workflow and local requirements call for.
What Amano adds
A narrow layer for chemistry visibility.
Amano is useful when a team wants scheduled measurements and a timestamped record between hands-on visits. It does not attempt to become your route or work-order system.
Liquid-reagent tests
Free chlorine, combined chlorine, pH, and total alkalinity.
Adjustable schedule
Normally twice daily, with test timing and frequency adjustable.
Timestamped readings
Keep a dated record of the scheduled measurements for review.
Alerts after tests
Receive an alert after a scheduled test when your workflow needs a signal.
Built-in cellular
The device uses cellular connectivity for its scheduled measurement updates.
Supports your team
Use the added context to inform follow-up—not to skip verification or judgment.
Use readings as context, not as a shortcut around good operations.
Amano supports visibility and recordkeeping. It does not add chemicals, replace your facility SOP, or replace manual duties imposed by an authority having jurisdiction.
- Verify an unexpected result with the sample, method, units, timing, and equipment before acting.
- Follow the chemical label, facility procedure, and equipment-manufacturer instructions.
- Keep any manual testing and documentation required by your local health department or adopted code.
This is general operating guidance. Follow your local health department and adopted code, facility SOP, chemical label, and equipment-manufacturer instructions.
Common questions
Using Amano alongside Skimmer
Is Amano integrated with Skimmer?
Amano is not affiliated with Skimmer, and this page does not claim an integration or data sync. The intended workflow is to keep your route and work-order software for service operations and use Amano separately for scheduled chemistry measurements.
Can I use Amano if my team uses Skimmer?
Yes. The workflow is designed to sit alongside existing route and work-order software. Your team can review Amano readings and use them in its existing process; no technical connection between the systems is implied.
What does Amano measure?
Amano uses liquid reagents to measure free chlorine, combined chlorine, pH, and total alkalinity.
How often does Amano test?
Amano normally runs tests twice daily. Test timing and frequency are adjustable for the operating workflow.
Does Amano replace manual testing or local-code duties?
No. Amano supports visibility and recordkeeping, but it does not add chemicals or replace manual duties imposed by an authority having jurisdiction. Follow your local requirements and facility SOP.
How does Amano connect at the property?
Amano uses built-in cellular connectivity for its scheduled measurement updates.
