Determining Pool Size (liters of water in your pool)
•
Rectangular Pools: Length x width (meters) x average depth x 1000
•
Circular Pools:
Diameter x diameter x average depth x 785
•
Oval Pools:

CAUTION - Never use dry acid (sodium bisulfate) to adjust pH in arid geographic areas with excessive
evaporation and minimal dilution of pool water with fresh water. A buildup of byproducts can damage the IECG.
