16ftx 33ft goes from 3ft to 10ft...the only reason im saying 28k cuz the lady and the pool store had the old owners info stored in the computer so..idk..the filter does like kinda old idk..i will be buy a hth test kit tom.

16 x 33 oval (?)

=> ((8^2)*pi* + 17 * 16) * 2.7 * 7.48 = shallow volume => 9,500 gallons
=> ((8^2)*pi* + 17 * 16)/2 * (9.7-2.7)/2 * 7.48 = deep volume => 6,200 gallons (assumes break at 1/2 length of pool)

Total estimated volume ~ 15,700 gallons. PF:7.5

A Perflex EC65 *is* big enough for a 15.7K gallon pool.

rectangle pool

Liner pool, or concrete? (I've never heard of a 16x33 rectangle liner).

Anyhow:

=> (33 * 16) * 2.7 * 7.48 = shallow volume => 10,600 gallons
=> (16.5 * 16) * (9.7-2.7)/2 * 7.48 = deep volume => 6,900 gallons (assumes break at 1/2 length of pool)

Total estimated volume ~ 17,500 gallons. PF:7

A Perflex EC65 *is* acceptable for a 17.5K gallon pool.

Its a liner pool maybe im measuring it wrong

[PoolDoc]

90% of the time, the volume figure pool owners are given is inflated . . .

ok i just bought a hth 6 test kit at wally world...readings are as followed
total cholrine- 5
br-10
ph- 6.8
total aklanity- 60ppm
there was no hardness (the water didn't turn red)??
cyanigic acid - 70ppm

hopefully this helps also i got stuff floating all over the pool at the top could this be the dead algea if so how can i get rid of that or should i just let the pump take care of it?
