From photo to plan in minutes
No test kits, no guesswork, no forum threads. Ripple works from what you can see — and tells you when it needs a closer look.
Photograph your pond
Stand at the shoreline and take a photo. Add close-ups if you have them — texture is how Ripple tells algae from aquatic weeds, the single most common misdiagnosis in pond care.
Get a clear diagnosis
Ripple identifies the likely issue — filamentous algae, duckweed, submerged weeds, muck — with a confidence level, anything else it noticed, and a 0–100 health score you can track over time.
Follow a season plan
A product-specific plan sized to your pond's real measurements, with label-guided amounts, timing, reminders, and monthly photo check-ins to confirm it's actually working.
Built around your actual pond
Every recommendation is sized to your water, your weather, and your region — not a generic pond somewhere.
Measure from satellite
Trace your shoreline on a satellite map. Ripple computes surface area, perimeter, and volume — so amounts fit your pond, not a rough guess.
Weather-aware timing
A local bloom-risk outlook, a best-day-to-treat suggestion, and Pond Watch alerts when rain and heat are setting up conditions algae love.
Monthly check-ins
Each month's photo is diagnosed fresh, so a new problem never hides behind an old one. If duckweed shows up after the algae clears, you'll know — with a fix attached.
Ask the AI lake manager
A grounded advisor that knows your pond, your plan, and what each product actually does. When a licensed professional is the right call, it says so.
Built for real ponds: backyard and farm ponds, HOA and retention ponds, and golf course water features.
Straight answers, safe defaults
Water care involves regulated products. Ripple treats that seriously.
- The label is the law. Every recommendation defers to the current product label for rates, timing, and water-use restrictions.
- State-aware. Product availability varies by state — Ripple notes it and points you to your state's rules before you buy or apply.
- Safety stops. If a photo suggests possible blue-green algae, Ripple flags the toxin risk and stops "just treat it" advice cold.
- Honest about limits. When confidence is low, Ripple asks for a better photo. When a job needs a licensed pro, it refers you to one.
Ripple is a planning and education tool, not a licensed lake-management service. It helps you understand your water and make informed decisions — it doesn't replace professional judgment or the product label.
