So we bought our house about two years ago. The house came with a sweet in-ground Pebble Tec pool that has an attached spiller over spa, a waterfall, and a beach entry. I was able to obtain a copy of the plans for when the pool was initially built and the specs said the pool was 22,000 gallons in volume. Ever since I took over care of the pool, I’ve been using pool math to monitor my test results and take care of chemical additions. In doing so, I’ve discovered that my pool volume is actually closer to 14,000 gallons. For example, I needed to raise my CH recently. I used 14,000 gallons as my volume in pool math, followed the recommended addition, and landed in the exact spot that I needed to be. I’m glad I figured this out before adding additional difficult-to-get-rid of chemicals (CYA, salt, etc).
Any idea why there would be such a big difference from the builder’s specs to what seems to be the actual volume? I could see a few thousand gallons either way but 22k to 14k is a huge difference. Thanks!
