Pool Water Testing Guide — How to Test Pool Chemistry | PoolDose

Complete guide to testing pool water chemistry. Learn how to use test strips and liquid test kits, what to test for, and how often to test your pool water.

How to Use the Pool Volume Calculator

Select your pool shape (rectangular, round, oval, L-shape, or freeform) and enter the dimensions. The calculator uses the average of your shallow and deep end depths to compute volume.

The calculated volume is automatically shared with all other chemical calculators on PoolDose. Calculate your pool volume first for accurate chemical dosing results.

Both US units (feet/gallons) and metric units (meters/liters) are supported. For freeform pools, the estimate may vary by 5-10% from actual volume.
