When it comes to measuring pool chemical dosage and knowing how much is needed, the most important piece of information we need is your pool’s volume.
Remember, we want to be as accurate as possible and not over (or under) dose our pool so knowing how many gallons your pool can hold is critical.
If you need a good estimate, use our pool volume calculator!
*Note that when you measure the shallow and deep ends, you want to measure to the water level, not the coping/decking.
Once we have a good idea of our volume, now we can get a better understanding of how many chemicals need to be added.
Using the Pool Chemistry Calculator
The best way to know how much of each chemical you need is by using our free pool chemistry and water balance calculator.
You simply input your test results from your test kit, and the calculator will tell you exactly what chemical and how much to add. Skip the math, and make it easy on yourself!
On Your Way to Clear Water!
After a season of testing, pouring chemicals in, then re-testing, you should get a better understanding of the amounts needed for your pool
