Step-by-step instructions

1. Go to Settings > Readings & Dosages and click Activate LSI Calculator.

2. Readings to Calculate LSI for Skimmer accounts created after July 2024: 

• Six key readings are required, and those are pre-set for you. 
  • For example, to connect Water Temp or pH to a different reading category, click the dropdown and select something else manually.
• For all six required readings, there is no Do Not Use option. If you want to calculate LSI, all six readings are required.
• Borates and Free Chlorine are optional and are not required for LSI.

3. Readings to Calculate LSI for Skimmer account created before July 2024:

• The required readings will not be automatically mapped. 
• Click to open the dropdown and select the corresponding reading, or to create a new reading.

4. Chemicals for Dosing Results for Skimmer accounts created after July 2024:

• Dosages will be set up and pre-mapped.
• For chemicals you do not use, click the dropdown box and select Do Not Use.
• After mapping a dosage to the appropriate chemical, confirm the unit of measurement. 
  • Why? In case we’re mapping to your own custom dosage category with a different unit of measurement. This ensures that, whatever we’re using, we can set this up to match it and get accurate dosage recommendations.
• To change a measurement setting, click the scale icon to enter the new UOM and click Continue.

5. Chemicals for Doing Results for Skimmer accounts created before July 2024:

• Chemicals will be set to Do Not Use by default.
• To map a chemical to the proper chemical dosage category, click and select from the dropdown.
  • You only need to map for the chemicals you use and want dosing recommendations for. 
• Confirm the number of ounces in the chemical’s unit of measurement.
• If you want to map to something we don’t have yet, we can ask Skimmer to create that new category.
  • The new dosage will appear on the main Readings & Dosages page.
  • You will need to set a cost and price per unit after completing the LSI activation process.

6. Scroll to the bottom and click Activate.

7. On the Readings & Dosages settings page, you will see "LSI" noted next to any reading/dosage mapped to the LSI calculator. 

• ​In order to maintain the integrity of all the calculations, readings and dosages associated with the LSI Integration cannot be deleted (unless the integration is deactivated).
