Good morning!
I'm not a first time owner, but I really didn't know where else to post this. We have lived in our house with pool for about 5 years. They did not leave us ANY information about the pool, so it's kind of been educated guessing from the beginning. I have been trying to understand more about the chemistry since two years ago when we began having issues. I also have the app to track and calculate chemicals.
There is a local pool store that the previous owners had an account on and the pool is listed as 17,000 gallons and we have a Hayward T-3 SWG. However, I'm not confident in that gallon count. When I use the app, calculate the amount of liquid chlorine (or anything else), and add it to the pool, the next reading is way higher than the app suggests it will be. All of that leads me to believe that the pool is actually below 17,000 gallons. Since we have a peanut(?) shaped pool with a ledge and seats, calculating it is way beyond my abilities. I'm attaching a picture of the shape from when we opened last year.
Is there any way to get a more accurate gallon count? I'm concerned that the T-3 cell is too small and may be contributing to some of the problems we are having with algae. Thank you!
