Understanding History

History is FlowBeacon's complete activity log. Every action recorded through the Actions screen — whether from the All Actions menu or the Quick Add menu — gets saved here automatically. Over time, History becomes a full picture of everything that has happened to your pool.

Most printed professional logbooks only have room for a handful of fields per visit. FlowBeacon's History captures far more — every chemical addition, water test result, maintenance action, note, and metric is recorded with detail that a paper log simply can't match. Whether you're a homeowner keeping tabs on your own pool or a service professional managing dozens of accounts, History gives you a searchable, filterable record that's always with you.

Desktop view

Switching Pools​

If you are viewing a property with multiple pools, a pool selector at the top of the screen lets you switch between them so you can view each pool's history independently.

Filters​

Two filters at the top of the screen let you narrow down the log:

  • Entry Type — Filter by a specific type of action to see only those entries
  • Date — Filter by date range to focus on a specific period

Entry Types​

Every history entry captures the details recorded at the time of the action. Entries fall into two groups:

Maintenance​

These entries are logged whenever a maintenance task is performed:

  • Filter Maintenance
  • Pool Maintenance
  • Pump Maintenance
  • Chlorinator Maintenance
  • SWG Maintenance
  • Vacuum Maintenance

Other​

These entries cover water testing, chemical additions, and general records:

  • Water Test — Chemistry readings recorded from a test
  • Chemical Add — A chemical addition and the amount used
  • Note — A free-form note
  • Photo / Media — A photo or media file attached to the log

What Each Entry Shows​

Each entry displays all of the information that was recorded at the time, which can include:

  • The date and time of the entry
  • The action taken
  • Notes or observations
  • Any issues flagged
  • Images or videos captured during the visit
  • Metrics such as filter pressure, chlorinator settings, dial readings, water test results, and more — depending on the entry type
