Calculation Formulas

Amount Conversions
Grams to Kilos - grams ÷1000 = Kilos
Millilitres to Litres - millilitres ÷1000 = Litres

Distance Conversions
Feet to Metres - feet ÷ 3.28 = Metres

Surface Area
Rectangle / Square - Length x Width = Square Metre
Circle - pi (3.14) x radius x radius = Square Metre
( radius = diameter ÷ 2)

Pool Volume
Surface Area x Average Depth x 1000 = Litres
(1 m3 = 1000 L.)
Average Depth = (shallow depth + deep depth) ÷ 2

Calculating Litres in 1 Centimetre of Depth
1 metre = 100 centimetres 1cm ÷ 100cm = .01 (represents 1 cm of Depth / centimetre)
Surface Area x 0.01  x 1000 = Litres

Breakpoint Chlorination
CC = TC - FC
Breakpoint Level = CC X 10 - Starting FC

Turnover Rate
Pool Volume ÷ Flow Rate ÷ 60 = Hours

Flow Rate
Pool Volume ÷ Turnover Rate ÷ 60 min/hour = Litres Per Minute (LPM)

Filter Area
Flow Rate ÷ Filter Media Rate = Metres Squared

Calculating Kilojoules vs Temperature Rise
Volume x 4.18 x degrees raised = Kilojoules
4.18 = the quantity of heat needed to raise water 1 degree

Spa Dumping
Spa Volume ÷ 11.34 ÷ average bathers/day = Days
