pHin allows consumers and partners to submit high-resolution images of chemicals to have them added to the pHin chemical database.

pHin supports dosing for the following chemical types:

• pH Up

• Total Alkalinity increasers or decreasers
• Total hardness increaser or decreasers
• Algaecides
• Clarifiers

Your images should clearly capture the following pieces of information from each chemical container:

1. Brand
2. Product name exactly as it appears on the container
3. Chemical type ( e.g. pH Down, Bromine, MPS, etc. )
4. Usage: one or more of Pool, Hot Tub, Swim Spa
5. Active ingredients & percentages
6. Dosing instruction section
7. Package type ( e.g. bag, bottle, pouch )
8. Total container weight
9. UPC or barcode
10. SKU ( optional )

For best results, we recommend the following:

• Ensure all of the important information above is captured
• Take your photos in a location with good natural light
• Take your photos in portrait mode ( vertical )
• Upload either JPG or PNG images
• Round packages will require more photos to capture all relevant text
• Upload your images instead of emailing or SMSing them
• Zoom into each image and make sure you can read all the text
