Determining Pool Size (Litres)

• Rectangular Pools
Length (metres) x width (metres) x average depth
(metres) x 1000 = litres capacity.
Circular Pools
•
Radius (metres) x Radius (metres) x 3.14 x average
depth (metres) x 1000 = litres capacity.
NOTE
On initial startup of a pool, it is best to shock using an
alternate source, i.e., use a shock treatment available at
your local pool supplier.
• Oval Pools
Short Radius (metres) x long radius (metres) x 3.14

Determining Pool Size (Gallons)

• Rectangular Pools
Length (feet) x width (feet) x average depth (feet) x
7.5 = gallon capacity.
• Circular Pools

(feet) x 7.5 = gallon capacity.
• Oval Pools
Long radius (feet) x short radius (feet) x 3.14 x
average depth (feet) x 7.5 = gallon capacity.

• Shocking or Super Chlorination enhances

chlorine's ability to oxidize organic waste by
eliminating combined chlorine (CC). To measure
combined chlorine (CC), subtract the Free Chlorine
0 100 200 400
(FC) from the Total Chlorine (TC). (TC - FC = CC).
To determine how much shock (fast dissolving
chlorine) it will take to properly shock your pool,
you'll need to calculate the Breakpoint Chlorine
(BPC) level. To determine the Breakpoint Chlorine
(BPC) needed, multiply the Combined Chlorine
(CC) level by 10. Then, subtract the Free Chlorine
(FC) level.
Breakpoint Chlorine (BPC) = ((CC X10) - FC)
for example: If FC=1.0ppm, and if CC=0.7ppm, the
BPC level would be 6.0 ppm. formula: ((0.7x10) -
1.0)=6.0
Your local pool professional can help with this
calculation or can supply you with test kits that can
provide this information. Running your unit at 100%
for 24 hours may also help you achieve breakpoint
chlorination. If diminished water clarity or evidence
of algae persists, your local pool dealer may suggest
additional steps to sanitize your pool water and
eliminate chloramines.
