Heads up: Water Quality is in early access. Expect changes and new features as we continue to improve the module.

Overview

Water quality rulesets are the foundation of water checks. You may need to edit a ruleset when operational standards change, or delete a ruleset if it is no longer needed.

Keep in mind that edits affect all future checks, while past results remain unchanged. Deleting a ruleset will remove it from your setup entirely.


How to edit a water quality ruleset

Open your ruleset

  1. Go to Configuration → Checklists → Water Quality Ruleset.

  2. Select the ruleset you want to edit.


Make your changes

  • Update the ruleset name if needed.

  • Add or edit subrules (e.g. Pools, Spas, Lazy River).

  • Adjust parameter thresholds (min/max values).

  • Change location group assignments.

Click Save to apply your changes.

Tip: When changing thresholds, communicate with staff so they know what values are considered valid going forward.


How to delete a water quality ruleset

Open your ruleset

  1. Go to Configuration → Checklists → Water Quality Ruleset.

  2. Hover over the ruleset and click the trash bin icon.

  3. Confirm the deletion.

Warning: Deleting a ruleset is permanent. It will:

  • Remove the ruleset from all checklists.

  • Prevent staff from performing future checks against it.

  • Not affect past results (they remain in reporting).


Best practices

  • Edit rulesets rather than delete them whenever possible.

  • If a ruleset is only temporarily unused, rename or unassign it instead of deleting.

  • Document changes for compliance records.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will deleting a ruleset remove past results?
A: No. All completed results remain in your reporting, but the ruleset cannot be used again.

Q: Can I restore a deleted ruleset?
A: No. If needed again, you’ll need to create a new ruleset.

Q: Do edits update old data?
A: No. Edits only affect new checks completed after the change.
