Pool pump replacement doesn't line up with existing rigid PVC plumbing due to different port spacing and height, requiring replumbing of the manifold to connect.

No software exists to help visualize or plan the reconfiguration of plumbing fittings when swapping equipment with different footprints; user relies on manual estimation and trial/error.

Workarounds Described

measures and cuts rigid PVC manually with trial-and-error
considers using flex pipe to avoid precise planning

Implied Software Gaps

AR-based fitting layout tool that automatically calculates offset and suggests a fitting sequence

App Concept

PlumbFit Planner

PlumbFit Planner is an AR-based fitting layout tool that lets you input existing equipment measurements and new unit specs, then suggests optimal piping configurations using standard fittings. It eliminates guesswork and reduces material waste for pool pump swaps and similar plumbing retrofits.

Key Features

AR overlay to compare old and new equipment footprints
Automated fitting and pipe length recommendations
3D visualization of proposed plumbing layout
Bill of materials with cost estimate

Target Users: DIY homeowners and small plumbing contractors replacing pool pumps, water heaters, or other equipment with different port layouts

Revenue Model: Freemium with $9.99 per plan or $29.99 annual subscription for unlimited plans
