    Default Kiddie Pool Calculator has an error.

    Just a warning for people who use the Kiddie Pool Calculator. The pool calculator has an error in converting to cups. The tablespoon and teaspoon conversions were fine. But for Household bleach, it converted 25.6 Tablespoons to 3.2 cups, when it should only be 1 ½ cups + 1 ½ tablespoons, since 16 tablespoons = 1 cup.
    Also for Borax, it calculated that 6 Tablespoons = 0.8 cups (about 3/4 of a cup), when it should only be ¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons.
    I'm new, so maybe this has already been discussed, but I thought I'd let you know.
    I appreciate so much the poolsolutions website. (Link removed by mod) It has been very helpful.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for your kind words, and for pointing out the differences in the conversion....I don't recall seeing it discussed before, but I'll search some of the older posts and see.

    I think it may; I haven't had a chance to check.

    But I didn't think it was still accessible. Have to check that, too.
