How to organize pool readings and corrections
A month of readings becomes hard to use when a pool changes names, units disappear, or a correction replaces the only original value. Use this filing workflow to make an existing paper or spreadsheet history readable without making treatment decisions.
How to organize pool readings and corrections
| Record check | Your convention |
|---|---|
| Pool identifier | |
| Date and time format | |
| Parameter and unit | |
| Test method | |
| Correction reference | |
| Archive location |

How to use this resource
- Choose a stable pool label and write any rename in the history.
- Keep a raw dated reading separate from maintenance or a later interpretation.
- If an entry is wrong, label the corrected value, reason and original entry it replaces.
- At the end of a period, save a dated copy with its units and test-method notes.
The downloadable CSV matches the printed table. It has no formulas and is not an app-import file. Entered browser-tool data, when offered, has its own download button.
A correction that can be followed
Suppose a reading was copied as 0.8 but the written test record says 0.6. Keep the date of the observation, label 0.6 as the corrected transcription, and note when you made the correction. Do not create a second measurement at the correction time.
Compare like with like
Before summarizing a period, check that every included entry refers to the same pool, parameter and unit. Keep unperformed and unreadable tests explicit. A total calculated across unlike parameters is meaningless; a missing value should remain missing.
Make handover possible
Give another person the unit legend, pool identifier and any test-method changes alongside the table. A chart alone often omits those details. Keep required operator documents separately if your installation requires them.
