Looking for help with calculations for your swimming pool or hot tub chemistry? The Pool Calculator does all the math for you, making testing and treating your pool or hot tub a breeze.

Pool Calculator tells you exactly how much of each chemical to add to keep your water in balance and crystal clear. No more puzzling over complicated charts and formulas.

Bring your Android phone or tablet out to the pool and have all the chemical information and calculations you need right at your fingertips.

Pool Calculator provides a complete tool kit to make pool care easy. You get:
• Chemical Calculators
• Volume Calculator
• Effects (What-if) Calculator

CHEMICAL CALCULATORS
You can use whichever test strip or test kit you prefer for testing your pool or hot tub. Pool Calculator provides calculations for:
- Chlorine (FCl)
- Raising pH
- Lowering pH
- Total alkalinity (TA)
- Calcium hardness (CH)
- Stabilizer (CYA or cyanuric acid)
- Salt
- Borate (Borax)
- Calcium saturation index (CSI, similar to LSI)

RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL RANGES
With Pool Calculator, the recommended ranges for your chemicals are based upon whether you have a pool or hot tub, and the surface material (plaster, vinyl or fiberglass) of your pool or hot tub. You can choose from several pre-defined ranges or customize based on your preferences.

POOL VOLUME CALCULATOR
To keep your swimming pool or hot tub at its best, it’s important that you accurately calculate your water volume. All of the chemical balancing recommendations you receive from the Pool Calculator are based on it. You can calculate the volume of your pool in metric units (liters) or in imperial units (gallons). The Pool Volume Calculator can be used for:
• Rectangular Pools and Hot Tubs
• Oval Pools and Hot Tubs
• Round Pools Hot Tubs

CHEMICAL EFFECTS CALCULATOR
“What if” analysis for adding chemicals to your pool or hot tub! Ever want to know the impact of adding a given amount of Chemical has on your swimming pool or hot tub chemistry?

The Effects Calculator calculates the impact adding a specific amount of chemical has on your pool chemistry. It does this not only for the primary purpose of the chemical, but also on the other important measurements for your pool. For example, adding Trichlor not only raises your Free Chlorine, it also increases your Cyanuric Acid, lowers your pH and increases your Salt. Adding Cal Hypo raises Free Chlorine, and also raises Calcium Hardness (CH) and Salt.

With the Effects Calculator you can measure the effects on pool chemistry of adding a given dose of:
• Bleach
• Trichlor
• Dichlor
• Cal-hypo
• Lithium Hypochlorite
• Chlorine gas
• Muriatic Acid
• Dry Acid
• Washing soda
• Soda Ash
• Borax
• Sodium Tetraborate Pentahydrate
• Boric Acid
• Caustic Acid (lye)
• Baking Soda
• Calcium Chloride
• Calcium Chloride dihydrate
• Stabilizer
• Liquid Stabilizer
• Salt

What's New

Users with accounts can now log in from the app and use the pool data they have set up online.
Calculated volumes can be saved to an existing pool setup.
The app now shows which volume is being used for tests.

I purchased the app to support the developers a year or so ago. It's cumbersome. Have to hit the check box on the keyboard to save entries, which is non intuitive. Doesn't appear to be a way to save tests, so I went back to check the online version and now I guess there's a membership cost to actually save them. The data behind this app for on demand testing and balancing a pool/spa is very helpful, but the app design is certainly lacking and makes what should be very easy clumsy.

needs to have a working back button, or a prompt if your are sure you want to go back. no tracking only can update the most current figured. i do like the built in CYA shock chart that automatically changes, also like the "what if" analysis on the last tab.

Bad app for DIYs just learning. I have a spa. The app suggests that my total alkalinity should be between 50 and 80, this is erroneous. In the Effects part of the app it says that washing soda/sodium carbonate decreases pH and alkalinity which is totally erroneous. I have emailed the makers of this app with no response. Kind of a waste for a couple dollars!

I am glad with the new update that the keyboard now includes a decimal point. Now I can input accurate Ph test readings. The developer is also in the process of updating the app so that lower resolution phones can use the updated app.

I bought this hoping it would be helpful. It won't even let me create an account. I tried to adjust my pool size and the gallons and it's reading wrong. My 14 by 48 size round pool only holds 3300 gals. It keeps adjusting it to 4000 which is wrong. The clorox app is free and does the same thing BTW. Sorry.

Keeping track of multiple pools is easy with the app, kept a perfect balance since starting up and through the recent heat wave. Recommend!

Have been using this since it came out and I love it. I jist noticed this year that you can keep track of multiple pools. This is great because I also test pool water for a couple of my friends' pools who have different sized pools and chemical choices.

Salt calculation on the app under tests is way off, tells me to add 6 25kg bags to move salt ppm levels from 2600 to 3100 for 100000L pool, that's incredible inaccurate... Effects number for salt is accurate. On the website the calculation seems to be accurate.
