The Pool Chlorine Calculator is designed to help you determine the amount of chlorine needed to reach the desired chlorine level in your pool. Chlorine is crucial for maintaining clean, sanitary water.

Calculation Formula

The formula used is:

\[ \text{Chlorine Needed (oz)} = \frac{\text{Pool Volume (gallons)} \times (\text{Desired Chlorine (ppm)} - \text{Current Chlorine (ppm)})}{12} \]

This formula provides an estimate of the amount of chlorine (in ounces) required to achieve the desired level.

Example Calculation

If your pool volume is 15,000 gallons, the current chlorine level is 1 ppm, and you want to raise it to 3 ppm:

\[ \text{Chlorine Needed} = \frac{15,000 \times (3 - 1)}{12} = 2,500 \text{ ounces} \]

Importance and Usage

Maintaining the correct chlorine level is essential to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and keep the pool water safe for swimming.
