Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A diagnostic mobile app that analyzes photos of pool cracks to recommend specific repair materials based on pool type and climate.
  2. A curated marketplace for professional-grade, DIY-friendly pool maintenance kits that include step-by-step video tutorials.
  3. A community-verified database of common pool material failure rates to help owners identify if their issue is a standard maintenance item or a defect.
