Hi Everyone - is there a pool app out there that can give you the gallon capacity of a current pool when looking to take on a new customer (maybe just an address to punch in to get the figure) - I understand how to calculate from the CPO course I just completed, but thought there may be a quicker way to get the figure - I’m sure alot of these pool owners don’t even know their gallon capacity or they think they do and the figure is incorrect - Just trying to save time and be accurate…..

 

Thank you all in advance - hope you’re having a good work summer - brutally warm down here in SW Florida right now - take care and invest in some “poweraid” when it’s on sale…. Cheers from the rookie “Big Steve - BBG Pool Services”

Hey Bob I haven't had any luck with that same idea. You just have to set apart the  time and do math.

Thank you for the response Wrassemaster - if I hear of anything throughout my journey, I’ll let you know….

Since we primarily work with fiberglass pools, we contact the shell builders for specifications. For new plaster pools, we try to obtain specs from the designer or builder. Otherwise, we use a measuring tape to determine the pool's surface area and depth. I'm looking into the Moasure device to speed up the surface area measurements and embrace some tech!

Length X Width X Average Depth x7.48 

You'll get the hang after a while for being able to look at a pool and know the gallons pretty close. 

Patent that app idea ;)

When customers come in the retail store and don’t have a clue, I will use google maps to take measurements and base our initial tests off of that. It has worked well for us.

Lol yes I started doing that as well. They're usually good at giving an estimated depth of the pool, so that helps too
