Whoa! Try using punctuation! At least use periods and capitals!
What you need first is information for us so we can help you.
Gallons and type of equipment.
You can take a water sample to a pool store and they can give you test results, which you can post here and we can interpret.

My apologies. I spoke it to my phone. And it doesn't put punctuation. My bad my bad. I will take a sample and post how can I find out the details on my pool. My go has no clue and her mom is the same. They just paid a company to take care of it after her husband past. So I'm kinda lost here. I can find out what pump I have and will post. I guess I could take a measure tape to see how deep . How can I find out the gallons

The rule is that one cubic foot of water contains 7.48 gallons of water.

The best thing you can do is start reading our stickied threads, but start first by going to our sister site, poolsolutions.com.

But take a water sample to a pool store and post the results...don't let them talk you into buying anything yet. Promise them you'll be back (you probably will).
