Q. How many gallons of water are in a 12 x 24 above ground pool?
For example, for a 12′ x 24′ pool 4 ft. high you would multiply 12 x 24 = 288. Then 288 x 4 = 1,152. Then 1,152 x 7.5 = 8,646 gallons needed.
Q. How do I figure out how many gallons My pool is?
Length x width x depth x 7.5 = volume (in gallons) Multiplying that by the depth gives the volume in cubic feet. Since there are 7.5 gallons in each cubic foot, multiply the cubic feet of the pool by 7.5 to arrive at the volume of the pool, expressed in gallons.
Q. How many gallons of water does a 12×24 oval pool hold?

Q. Does baking soda kill pool algae?
Grab a brush and some baking soda. Bicarbonate, the active ingredient in baking soda, is an effective spot treatment to help kill the algae and loosen it from the wall.
Q. Can you put baking soda in a pool?
Add baking soda to the pool. Sodium bicarbonate is packaged in powder form and can be sprinkled directly into your pool water. Between 6 and 24 hours after you added the baking soda, retest your pool’s pH and total alkalinity. If the pH is below 7.2 and the alkalinity below 110 ppm, then repeat these steps.
Q. How often should you put baking soda in your pool?
As a rule, you don’t add more than 2.5 pounds of baking soda in a day. Instead, start off adding the required amount (e.g., 1.25 for 10,000 gallons of water) of baking soda that can raise the alkalinity of your pool to 10ppm. You can sprinkle your baking soda over the surface of the pool, or you pour into a skimmer.
Q. Is it safe to swim in a cloudy pool?
You shouldn’t swim in a cloudy pool for several reasons: If you can’t see the bottom of the pool, struggling swimmers will also be hard to spot, making the risk of drowning much higher. Cloudy pools are full of bacteria and pathogens that can cause urinary tract infections, stomach problems, and eye irritation.
Q. Will chlorine tablets clear a cloudy pool?
Shock Your Pool At Night To get rid of all the gross and dangerous crud in your cloudy pool water, shock your pool. This mega-dose of chlorine (or non-chlorine shock for pools that use other sanitizers) will eliminate cloudiness caused by bacteria, organic contaminants, and algae.
Q. Can you put too much shock in a pool?
Can you put too much shock in a pool? SKIMMER NOTES: It’s unlikely but it could happen. It would take a lot of shock to really make the water unsafe for swimming. The best way to make sure you’re safe to swim is to test your pool water and make sure free chlorine levels are between 1-4ppm for healthy swimming.
Q. Will a cloudy pool clear on its own?
However, sometimes a balanced pool will become cloudy immediately after being shocked. This typically clears quickly on its own and shouldn’t be considered a problem. Environmental factors include pretty much everything around the pool like severe weather, wildlife, construction, trees, pool algae, and people.
