Pool math shouldn't be a guessing game. These calculators give you a real number for your pool — gallons, chlorine, acid, shock, salt — and tell you when the math runs out and a real test kit takes over. Built by a Waxahachie pool service, not a chemical brand trying to sell you a bucket.
Start with gallons. Then dose for your pool, not the generic 10,000-gallon pool on the back of the bucket.
Get a practical gallon estimate before you add chlorine, acid, salt, stabilizer, or any other chemical.
Run ->Calculate a practical free chlorine dose for North Texas pools without trusting the back of the bucket.
Run ->Shock based on your CYA level, not a one-bag-per-10,000-gallons label rule.
Run ->Lower pH with a conservative acid dose that accounts for pool gallons and alkalinity.
Run ->Raise low pH carefully and understand when aeration may be the better answer.
Coming soonRaise total alkalinity with sodium bicarbonate so pH stops bouncing around.
Coming soonAdd CYA carefully so chlorine survives the sun without getting buffered into weakness.
Run ->Protect plaster and equipment by keeping calcium hardness in a practical range.
Coming soonEstimate pounds and 40-lb bags of pool salt needed for your salt system target.
Run ->Turn a full set of test results into the correct adjustment order for a North Texas pool.

Two more tools are in the build pipeline — a bucket-test diagnostic for when your pool is losing water, and a freeze-prep checklist for the week before a hard North Texas cold snap. Both come straight from the calls we get most.

A&M is a Waxahachie pool company that's been on Ellis County pools for 20 years. These calculators are honest about real-world variance — gallons are estimates, chemicals lose strength sitting on a hot garage shelf, and a Texas thunderstorm changes the water in an afternoon. Use them to skip the guesswork. But when the water keeps fighting back, a real test kit and an on-site look beat any calculator on the internet — including this one.
Weekly service, equipment help, or a one-time consult before you pour another chemical in the water. 20 years on Ellis County pools — and most of our customers have been with us for years, not months.
