    Pool Volume Measurements

    Hello, could someone explain to me how to measure an irregular pool size? A normal rectangle, circle, square shape is easy enough. But I am having issues with determining how to measure the irregular sized pools. Thanks in advance.

    Did I screw up by adding floc'd.

    No worries. And I will try that. In theory, could I recirculate the water and reshock the pool? It will disturb everything that has settled to the surface, but if I can get it to sink I can vacuum to waste.

    The third sentence stated that it was a "sand filter/vinyl liner pool". Please take a look at the photo above. That is the current state of the pool. I don't think vacuuming to waste is a viable option for the sediment floating on the surface.

    Hello, we bought a house that had a pool. The pool had not been cleaned in 2 years. It is a sand filter/vinyl liner inground pool. The pool water was almost brown and had small red worms, mutated water bugs, and a bunch of scum at the bottom that I tried to skim out. I hit the pool with a few...
