How do I calculate the Volume (Gallonage) of My Swimming Pool

The volume of your pool is a calculation of your swimming pool's dimensions multiplied by your pool's average depth. Average Depth = depth at the deep end + the depth at the shallow end / 2. Rectangular Pools - Multiply length x width x average depth x 7.5 = gallons Round Pools - Multiply diameter x diameter x average depth x 5.9 = gallons Oval Pools - Multiply full width x full length x average depth x 6.7 = gallons * Irregular shapes and size pools capacity should be determined by your pool builder or specialist. * If your pool has sloping sides, multiply your final figure of gallonage by 0.85 for correct gallonage.

What should I do to keep my pool clean?

To ensure a clean, clear swimming pool, your efforts should be concentrated in two major areas: maintaining or adjusting the chemical balance of the pool water, and removing the unwanted dirt and foreign particles from the swimming pool. In order to remove unwanted substances from the swimming pool, we rely on a water circulation and a filtration system. Regular brushing and vacuuming of your swimming pool ensures a minimum of foreign material in the pool water. Of course we also need to clean the filter itself and replace the fitration medium when necessary
