Hey folks !!!

We have a pool math forum now so we can teach the ins and outs for new folks, and maybe even learn some new tricks for the existing folks.

To start it off, please watch the tutorial here : Pool Math

It's simple stuff and you can play with the various fields to get better acquainted with it. Every field asks you what you'd like to do, be it raising or lowering a parameter and its easy to do/undo.

Download the app here:
PoolMath

Or visit the old pool math web page here : PoolMath

We strongly suggest you upgrade to the premium version for only $8 a year (not per month). It will save all your logs and all the TFP helpers can spot trends from the past when things go south. It REALLY helps us help you, which you'll like too. :)

OK so let's dive in.

After setting up the basic pool details to start, you'll see this page

The upper right cog will take you back to your settings and the upper left Hamburger menu will open helpful links.

To adjust any parameter, simply click on it's tab and it opens up further menus to enter your tests, your targets and what you'll need to add to accomplish it.


If you select SWG as the sanitation choice on the FC tab, a magnifying glass icon appears and you can look up many models of SWG to find their daily outputs. It's a great tool when comparing models at purchase/replacement time

You can also go to effects of adding on the upper left Hamburger menu to see what a plethora of additions would do. It's very helpful when looking at that leftover buckets of tabs to see if you have enough leeway in your CYA level to use some. Say, when planning for a vacation.
