Pool Water Testing
Knowing the volume of water in your pool is key in maintaining clear water. In order for our experts to test your water we require the volume in order to accurately make recommendations.
If you know the size of your pool, see the chart below for the volume in both litres and gallons.

Hot Tub Water Testing
Finding the size of your hot tub is easier than you think. There are two ways to go about it: Fill Time and Dimensional.
Fill Time
Calculating by fill time is the easiest and most accurate way to measure the volume of water. Start by timing how long it takes to fill the tub and convert the minutes to seconds. Then fill up a one litre or one gallon bucket and time it as well. Divide the number of seconds it took to fill up your hot tub by the seconds it took to fill the bucket, the result is the volume of water.
For example: Hot tub filled in 30 minutes (1800 seconds) and filled the one litre bucket in 2 seconds. 1800 divided by 2 = 900 Litres.
Dimensional
To calculate the volume you will need to know the length, width, and depth of your tub. Input those numbers into the formula below to determine the litres or gallons.
| Size Of Hot Tub | People | Volume (Litres) | Volume (Gallons) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 66″ X 66″ X 40″ | 2-4 People | 796 | 212 |
| 72″ X 72″ X 40″ | 3-5 People | 948 | 252 |
| 83″ X 83″ X 40″ | 4-6 People | 1260 | 335 |
| 92″ X 92″ X 40″ | 6-8 People | 1550 | 412 |
| 144″ X 96″ X 52″ | Swim Spa | 3286 | 874 |
* Hot tubs may have design features built in that change the volume of water. Contact manufacturer for accurate volume.
