Description
CartridgeID identifies faucet and shower cartridges from a photo. Snap a picture, ideally next to a tape measure, and one of our plumbing specialists confirms the exact replacement, usually within an hour, then ships it direct to your jobsite or shop. Built for working plumbers: a speed and sourcing tool for the parts you already know, and an identification service for the ones that are worn smooth or discontinued. 40+ brands supported, from Moen and Delta to imports and house lines.

Could you build this?
No The value proposition relies on human plumbing specialists manually verifying niche physical hardware dimensions from tape-measured photos and operating physical parts logistics.
What it would actually take: While the front-end intake form is trivial, a real version requires building a specialized computer vision pipeline calibrated for physical scale reference (metric rectification from a tape measure), paired with a proprietary database of thousands of plumbing cartridge schematics and dimensions. More critically, the operational backbone relies on an inventory management system integrated with wholesale plumbing supply chains and human expert verification.
