Chemical monitoring devices and methods

A method of coordinating the addition of chemicals to a body of water with a user, comprising:

• providing one or more pods, each of the one or more pods having a predetermined volume of a predetermined chemical and a first visually perceptible indicia identifying the predetermined chemical contained by the pod;
• monitoring one or more parameters associated with a body of water, comprising receiving measurement data relating to the one or more parameters associated with the body of water;
• determining a chemical to be added to the body of water based on the received measurement data;
• calculating an amount of the chemical to be added to the body of water based on the received measurement data;
• determining one or more pods to be added to the body of water based on the determined chemical and the calculated amount of the chemical to be added to the body of water, each of the one or more pods having a predetermined volume of a predetermined chemical and a first visually perceptible indicia identifying the predetermined chemical contained by the pod;
• and
• transmitting to a user an instruction for adding the contents of the one or more pods to be added to the body of water, the instruction including a second visually perceptible indicia for each of the one or more pods to be added to the body of water that matches the first visually perceptible indicia of at least one of the pods provided.

A kit for monitoring and adjusting the chemistry of a body of water, comprising:

• a monitoring device configured to monitor one or more parameters associated with the body of water, the monitoring device configured to wirelessly transmit measurement data relating to the one or more parameters associated with the body of water that is monitored to a server;
• and
• a plurality of pods, each of the plurality of pods having a predetermined volume of a predetermined chemical and a first visually perceptible indicia identifying the predetermined chemical contained by the pod;
• wherein a server is configured to (i) receive the measurement data, (ii) determine one or more pods to be added to the body of water based on the measurement data, each of the one or more pods having a predetermined volume of a predetermined chemical and a first visually perceptible indicia identifying the predetermined chemical contained by the pod, and (iii) transmit an instruction for adding the contents of the one or more pods to be added to the body of water, the instruction including a second visually perceptible indicia for each of the one or more pods to be added to the body of water that matches the first visually perceptible indicia of at least one of the plurality of pods.
