Questions

About this calculator

US or imperial gallons?

Pool chemistry in North America is always US gallons. An imperial gallon is about 20% larger, so mixing the two produces a 20% dosing error.

How accurate does this need to be?

Within about 5%. Beyond that, chemical doses start drifting far enough to matter over a season.

The formula

gallons = length x width x average depth x 7.48
