California pool safety inspections
Pool inspections on the Formitize business platform
Pool Inspector App calls itself "a focused solution built on top of the Formitize platform". Formitize is a general business platform; the Pool Inspector Pack is an industry package on it. The site shows Australian-based support and membership of SPASA, the Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia.
Its site lists these capabilities:
Customer Manager (CRM), invoicing and automatic payment reminders
Stripe payment processing
Xero, QuickBooks, Mailchimp and Zapier integrations
Apps for Apple and Android devices, usable online or offline
An interactive 3D library, including a boundary barrier diagram
No lock-in contract, billed monthly
What it does not list is a California template. There is no BPC §7195 report structure and no HSC §115922 feature list on the site. A California inspector would build the checklist in Formitize and maintain it when the statute changes.
What PoolVerify offers
PoolVerify is inspection software for California residential pool safety inspections, built around BPC §7195, the home inspection report duty at a transfer, and HSC §115922, the two-of-seven feature rule at a permit.
The California checklist is pre-loaded: the six physical HSC §115922(a) features as rows, with an alternative means of protection documented in notes
Up to 10 photos per item with captions and timestamps
ESIGN-compliant digital signatures on any device
A branded PDF report generated on-site, with the feature count on page 1
A responsive web app that runs in any browser, with nothing to install
Cloud storage with 256-bit encryption
A 14-day free trial, no credit card to start
PoolVerify's limits, stated plainly: it is California-only, it is web-only with no offline mode, it has no payments, invoicing, CRM or third-party integrations, and scheduling is on the Professional and Business plans.
California compliance is the deciding difference
At the transfer of a one to four unit home with a pool, BPC §7195 requires the home inspection report to identify which of the seven HSC §115922(a) drowning prevention safety features the pool has, to state if it has fewer than two, and to say whether each is in place, in good repair and operable as designed.

A missed row is judged against the duty of care in BPC §7196 for four years under BPC §7199. A checklist that already contains the row is the simplest protection.

The checklist is the statute. PoolVerify's California template carries the HSC §115922(a) features with a photo prompt on each, and the PDF report is generated on-site instead of retyped in the evening. See the checklist.

Who should choose which
Pool Inspector App wins for a pool inspection business that wants one platform for CRM, quoting, invoicing, payments and accounting integrations, and does not need a California template. Its Australian support and SPASA membership suit inspectors working to Australian standards.
PoolVerify wins for California pool inspectors and pool service companies whose main job is the BPC §7195 disclosure inspection at a sale or the HSC §115922 inspection at a permit. The pre-loaded California checklist, the feature count on page 1 and the ESIGN-compliant signed PDF are the load-bearing features, and the price is lower.
Limitations
This guide is general information about pool safety law, not legal advice; the current text of HSC §115922 and BPC §7195 on leginfo.legislature.ca.gov controls, and local building departments add their own requirements. Pool Inspector App facts and prices are as published on poolinspectorapp.com on September 18, 2026 and can change; check the vendor's site before buying. PoolVerify is inspection software for California residential pool safety inspections; it does not perform inspections, certify inspectors, or issue compliance certificates.
Frequently asked questions
Is Pool Inspector App designed for California pool inspections?
No. Pool Inspector App describes itself as a solution built on the Formitize platform, with Australian-based support and SPASA membership shown on its site. Its site lists no California BPC §7195 or HSC §115922 template, so a California inspector would build the checklist in Formitize before the first job.
How much does Pool Inspector App cost compared to PoolVerify?
Pool Inspector App's pricing page lists the Formitize platform at $29.99 per user per month and the Pool Inspector Pack at $19.99 per business per month, so a solo inspector pays $49.98 a month, or $599.76 a year. PoolVerify Starter costs $39 a month on annual billing ($468 a year) or $49 monthly. The annual plan saves a solo inspector $131.76 a year.
Does Pool Inspector App have a mobile app?
Yes. Pool Inspector App runs inside the Formitize apps for Apple and Android devices and its site says it works online or offline. PoolVerify is a responsive web app that runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or laptop with no download, and it needs a connection to save.
Which is better for California BPC §7195 inspections?
PoolVerify. Its checklist carries the six physical HSC §115922(a) safety features as rows, with the seventh, an alternative means of protection, documented in notes, and the report prints the feature count on page 1 as BPC §7195 requires. Pool Inspector App has no California template on its site and the checklist would be built by hand.
Can I try both platforms before deciding?
Yes. Pool Inspector App's pricing page offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card needed. PoolVerify's 14-day trial also takes no credit card to start; the plan is chosen when the first PDF report is generated and the California checklist is included from the first inspection.
Conclusion
Pool Inspector App is a business platform with a pool inspection pack; PoolVerify is a California compliance tool. A California inspector paying $49.98 a month for Pool Inspector App still builds the BPC §7195 checklist by hand. A PoolVerify user at $39 a month has it from the first inspection, with the PDF report generated on-site. Start your 14-day free trial, no credit card to start.
A branded PDF with the compliance summary, the feature table, each finding with its photos, and the signature, generated on‑site when the BPC §7195 and HSC §115922 checklist is complete.
