Why it matters
Healthy water, kept in range and on the record.
Get the water wrong and the consequences are immediate. In guest aquatics, it shows up as sick guests, a forced closure, and a health department asking for records you may not be able to produce. On a water ride, it's downtime in the middle of a sold-out day. In an animal habitat, it's a welfare event you owe an explanation for. The Park Operations Platform makes safe, in-range water the predictable outcome of the daily routine, with proof attached — defined parameters per water body, jurisdiction rules, guided testing routes, and documented action on every excursion, so each reading is verifiable and every closure or intervention is backed by evidence. The public-health stakes are not hypothetical, and ride and habitat water carry their own every day.

Who uses it
- Aquatics directors and supervisors
- Pool and ride-water operators
- Curators and animal-care staff
- Water-quality lab techs
- Safety and compliance officers
- Health-department and USDA inspectors
What it does
Every reading, dose, and document in one record.
Parameter panels per water body
Each water body knows the panel that fits it, and tells you the moment it drifts.
- Aquatic-venue chemistry: chlorine, pH, alkalinity, cyanuric acid, calcium hardness, ORP
- Ride-water chemistry: sanitizer, pH, turbidity
- Animal-habitat chemistry: ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, dissolved oxygen, salinity for marine systems
- Per-water-body thresholds, testing frequency, and acceptable-range alerts
Regulatory rules
The right code applies to the right water body, automatically.
- State, county, and local health-department rules
- ASTM standards and CDC MAHC alignment for aquatic venues
- USDA APHIS and AZA standards for animal habitats
- Per-water-body rule application
Chemistry readings
Every reading captured at the source — verifiable, never transcribed later.
- Reading records — when, who, what, where
- Test method and source captured (manual, controller, lab)
- Photo of the test result where required
- Multiple sample points within a water body
Action records
An out-of-range reading turns straight into a fix you can prove you made.
- Dose calculations and execution
- Re-test verification
- Closure once back within range
Excursions
When something serious happens, the closure and the why are on the record.
- Significant deviations flagged
- Closure decisions and recovery procedures recorded
- Reportable-event handling and investigation tracking
Dosing and water changes
Keep water ahead of demand instead of chasing it.
- Routine and demand-based dosing
- Pre- and post-storm dosing for aquatic venues
- Shock chlorination
- Water exchanges and buffer additions for habitats
Test equipment
Trust your readings, because the gear behind them is calibrated and in date.
- Equipment inventory
- Calibration schedules and records
- Reagent inventory and expiration
Testing routes
No water body gets missed, no matter who's on shift.
- Pre-defined sequences of test points
- Field app guides the operator through the route
- Readings captured, time- and location-stamped
Controller and probe integration
Automated readings and hand tests live in one record, each checking the other.
- Chemistry controllers and habitat life-support probes feed in real time
- Threshold alerting
- Manual verification of automated readings
Compliance reporting
The records the inspector wants are ready before they ask.
- Daily logs for the health department, USDA, and accrediting bodies
- Period summaries and excursion reports
- Audit-ready records
Built for parks
Every water body in the park.
Pools, slides, lazy rivers, wave pools, and splash pads — each with its own configuration, all from one record. Bathing-load tracked against capacity where required.
Log flumes, rapids, interactive water features, and show fountains — sanitized and tested to ride-water expectations rather than swim-water expectations.
Marine-mammal pools, aquarium tanks, koi ponds, and exhibit pools — with the parameter panels animal life support actually demands, and exhibit-load awareness where required.
Shoulder-season running, winterization, and spring start-up for guest water; year-round operation for animal habitats — all on the same record.
Pools, ride water, and habitats run together from one platform — every reading, every dose, and every record in one place.
