Pool Loss Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the pool loss (PL) is:

\[ PL = L \times W \times WL \times 0.6233 \]

Where:

\( PL \) is the pool loss (gallons per day).
\( L \) is the length (ft).
\( W \) is the width (ft).
\( WL \) is the water loss (inches).

What is Pool Loss?

Pool loss refers to the volume of water lost from a pool per day. This measure is important for maintaining proper water levels and ensuring efficient pool operation. Factors such as evaporation, leaks, and splashing can contribute to water loss.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Length (L): 20 ft
Width (W): 10 ft
Water Loss (WL): 0.5 inches

Using the formula to calculate the pool loss:

\[ PL = 20 \times 10 \times 0.5 \times 0.6233 = 62.33 \text{ gallons per day} \]

This means that the pool loss for this example is 62.33 gallons per day.
