bleach calc

Ah! Thank you for showing me how to come up with the numbers. Watermom gave me my calculation but it's nice to know how she got it, too! I don't know why some of us can't use the link, but thank you for taking the time to write that out. You guys are great!!

I've got a friend's Win8 laptop here -- so I can remove and replace Win8 with Win7Pro -- I think I'll try and see if I have problems downloading using Win8.

Please let me know! That's what I'm using...laptop w/ Windows 8. I'm curious as to your results.

Thanks much I've got mine written down, now I can buy whatever and not be so concerned. Thanks again

I've downloaded it a few times now from a few diff browsers, and still can't run the program on Windows 8 or 8.1 OS ... I keep getting the same "Unexpected Error" message.

Does the Bleach Calculator happen exist anywhere in table format?

(If not, I can just pull out my regular calculator lol)

Use this link: http://poolcalculator.com/index-classic.html

I would not use in IE only because I don't know if they have all of their bugs fixed as of yet. I'm personally using Chrome and it's working just fine. When I initially began using this calculator I was entering my pool gallons using a comma (ie 13,600). I finally realized this was my problem all along. DON'T use the comma!

Set up your ranges at the bottom of the calculator using 'Traditional Pool', etc. Make sure you enter the percentage of bleach you are using (6%, 8.25%). Also don't forget to enter the pool temp if you know it.

Enter what your test results are in the 'now' column, and what you want them to be in the 'target' column. If using liquid bleach it will give results in ounces. However, if you hover your mouse over the ounces it will give you gallons , quarts, cups; etc. in the field just above it.

IMPORTANT!! A jug of 8.25% liquid bleach is NOT a gallon. It equals approximately 3 quarts and 3 cups. Shout out to Pool Doc for reiterating that as I would have forgotten!

Hope it all works out for you now. Pools are hard enough to keep up without having the added frustration of the darn calculator not working! Best of luck!

A 121 oz jug of bleach is approximately 0.95 gallons so use that when you are plugging in numbers in the calculator to figure out bleach doses.

(By the way, the link that amillionpets linked above is NOT the same calculator that is the one at the top of this thread and not the one that we use on the forum.)
