The detailed report PDF and sharing it
For: Pool owners · Last updated 30 October 2026
After you finish a self-check, your results on screen have no charge and are always complete. The only PDF is the detailed report, a one-off purchase for that self-check that adds the guidance and the evidence.
Who it is for: Pool owners who have finished a self-check.
How to do it
- Finish a self-check, then open it from Checks. Find the Reports card.
- Read your results on screen: your three counts (Looks OK, Needs attention, Couldn't check) and the items behind them.
- To get the PDF, press Get detailed report on the Your detailed report card. The card lists what the report holds in four short lines and shows the price including GST. A sample is open the first time you see the card, and you can open it again before you pay.
- The detailed report adds the full checklist and how serious each item is; a fix guide for each item that needs attention (what it means, what usually fixes it, who usually does the work, what to ask for in a quote, and a link to find a pool fence contractor near your suburb); your measurements; your photos with the AI observations; before and after photos of repairs; an inspection-day sheet; and, if you have done an earlier check of the same pool, what is fixed since last time.
- To show it to an inspector, a property manager or a buyer, press Create secure share link on the report, choose how long it lasts and copy the link. To stop sharing, press Revoke and then Stop sharing to confirm.
What the fix guide is
It is general information written from QBCC and Queensland Government pages, in plain English. Which trade usually does a job is a suggestion, not a rule, and each entry says to check with your inspector where the page is not explicit. It has no prices.
Work worth $3,300 or more (labour and materials) needs a contractor who holds the right QBCC licence, according to QBCC.
When you send a report with a request
If you tick Send my latest self-check report when you ask an inspector for an inspection, the inspector sees a copy made for them, with how serious each item is, your measurements and the checklist. It does not use up a purchase and you can stop sharing at any time.
What it does not do
- It is not an inspection and it does not decide whether a pool meets the Queensland standard. Only a licensed pool safety inspector does that.
- It does not give a score or a likelihood of anything, and it does not say a pool is ready for anything.
- Opening a shared report is not an inspection either.
Common questions
Do I need the PDF?
No. Your results on screen always show which items need attention and why, at no charge. The PDF is a keepsake and a way to share.
Does the link need an account?
No. Anyone with the link can open and download the PDF until it expires or you revoke it, so only send it to people you trust.
PoolPreCert helps you do and record your work. It does not decide whether a pool meets the Queensland standard. Only a licensed pool safety inspector does that.
