2. How To Calculate Pool Capacity

In order to figure out the correct amount of chemicals to add to your pool, first you have have to know how much water your pool can hold.

Begin by calculating the depth of your pool, then determine your pool's capacity by using one of the following formulas.

Average Depth = Shallow End Depth + Deep End Depth ÷ 2
Sloping Sides: If your pool has sloping sides, multiply the final figure by 0.85
RECTANGULAR: Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5	CIRCULAR: Diameter x Diameter x Average Depth x 5.9
OVAL: Full Width x Full Length x Average Depth x 5.9	FREE FORM : Check with Pool Builder or Pool Professional
