Pool & Water Calculators

Pool and water calculators figure gallons, chemical dosing, and liner sizing for pools and ponds.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need to know my pool volume in gallons?

Every chemical dose — chlorine, salt, pH adjusters, algaecide — is calculated per gallon of water. An accurate volume number is the foundation for safe, effective water chemistry.

How do I handle a pool with a shallow and deep end?

Use the average depth: add the shallow-end and deep-end depths and divide by two. A 3-ft to 8-ft pool averages 5.5 ft. For complex profiles with a long shallow shelf, weight the average toward the larger area.

How much does it cost to fill a pool?

Municipal water typically runs $0.004-$0.02 per gallon depending on your utility, so a 15,000-gallon pool costs roughly $60-$300 to fill from the tap. Bulk water delivery costs more but is much faster.
