The question that everyone wants & needs to know is, "how big is my Pool?"

Here is the answer!

Knowing the proper number of gallons or liters in your swimming pool is very important for successful chemical care & treatment.  And that goes along with first knowing the actual pool dimensions! Oh, we could tell you stories of 50,000 gallon aboveground pools... but here's what you're really after:

Aboveground Pools  -  based on 52" wall height pools, flat bottom (ACTUAL average approximate water depth of 44"; this is the true fill, not the capacity)
