What it is

How Orenda LSI Calculator fits into PSS.

The Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) is the gold standard for measuring water balance — corrosive vs. scale-forming. PSS computes the LSI live from every visit's chemistry readings, surfaces the value on the visit card, and flags pools that drift outside the safe band.

How it works

Three steps. Connected once, then it just runs.

Built so your bookkeeper, office and tech don't have to think about it. Set it up once; it works for you forever.
