Q: What is the average gallon pool size?

• <div><p>The average pool size in gallons is 15,360. This number is for a 16&rsquo; x 32&rsquo; pool with a four-foot depth. However, many pools have different depths at each end or irregular sizes, so you may need to use the formulas above to calculate exactly how many gallons of water you need.</p></div>

Q: Should I brush a pool before shocking?

• <div><p>It is a good idea to brush a pool before shocking. Brushing the sides and floor loosen up anything that is growing on the surface, such as algae. It is then easier for the pool shock to kill the contaminants because more of it will come in contact with the chemicals.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you put too much baking soda in the pool?

• <div><p>If you put too much baking soda in your pool, your alkalinity will rise. That means you&rsquo;ll need to take steps to lower your alkalinity. You can either add more water (which will require more chemicals because they&rsquo;ll be diluted), wait for the alkalinity to lower naturally, or use a chemical like muriatic acid to lower it. </p></div>

Q: Can chlorine water make you feel sick?

• <div><p>While you shouldn&rsquo;t notice water that has an appropriate amount of chlorine in it (less than 4 parts per million), you could feel sick from drinking overly chlorinated water. Chlorine exposure can cause nausea, vomiting, coughing, and dizziness. Chronic chlorine exposure (meaning multiple or repeated instances) can make you feel like you have the flu, according to the CDC.</p></div>
