Actual results may vary because of factors such as:

• Pool shape and dimensions
• Actual water volume
• Product concentration
• Chemical formulation
• Equipment specifications
• Measurement accuracy
• Environmental conditions

Calculator results should be treated as a starting point rather than a substitute for appropriate testing, product instructions, equipment specifications, or professional advice.
