Determine the average depth of your pool by taking the depth at the deepest end of your pool and adding the depth of the shallowest end (in feet). Divide this number by 2. This number is the average depth. Then follow the steps below based on the shape of your pool.

*Square or Rectangular*

Total Gallons = length x width x average depth x 7.5 (in feet)

*Circular*

Total Gallons = diameter x average depth x 5.9 (in feet)

*Oval*

Total Gallons = Long Diameter (in feet) x Short Diameter (in feet) x Average Depth x 5.9

Pool filters are the most important component in keeping your swimming pool clean. Ideally, a filter should run all the time for maximum circulation and debris removal. A minimum of 8 hours a day in summer and 4 to 6 hours per day in the winter is highly recommended.  It’s best to run your pool filter during the hottest part of the day to prevent algae growth and maximize clarity.

This depends on several factors;) pool size, filter size, pool filter type and pool usage. Most manufactures recommend a minimum of twice a year, usually mid-summer and fall but if you don’t clean your filter in the fall then a spring cleaning is needed.
