why you should not drain your swimming pool
Переглядів 2337 років тому
you should not drain your swimming pool after a hurricane or flood and any time that your water table might be high. if you do it can "pop", crack or float out of the ground like a big boat. if you know that your water table is low contact a local and insured pool guy (with pop up or other pool coverage insurance, that will cover you if your pool has issues from draining), and consult them if y...

how to calculate the volume of a circular pool or cylinder
Переглядів 94 тис.7 років тому
they didn't teach you this in high school... or did they? how to calculate the volume of a circular pool. Pi (3.14) times radius squared. then multiply that by the average depth. that will give you the volume in square feet. then multiply by 7.5 because there are 7.5 gallons of water in a square foot, and you have it. the volume of a circular swimming pool (or spa) 365 days of vlogs with a pool...

Thank you
My pleasure!
Nailed it. Very helpful. Thanks,
What about the left side does it also have to have gear inside the wheel I couldn't get inside was 2 inches away doos it just rub up against tire I mean right side Single wheel
@@alhammond858 only the front two wheels have the gear driving it inside. The small wheel is what makes the back wheel turn
Where did you get the 7.5
It’s how many gallons are in a cubic foot (technically it’s 7.48 but in the pool industry we round up for easy numbers).
Outstanding ❤
how do you find houses with pool to advertise if you dont mind me asking?
Will it be the same formula if it is an oblong?
Unfortunately it is not
How did you get 7.5 and how can I get into liters
There are 28.3 liters in a cubic foot. There are 7.48 gallons (but I use 7.5 for easy math)
Hello, I would like to know how obtain the sqft to install tile inside the pools or spas ,thanks
Find the circumference of the pool and multiply by the height of the tile line
Thank you❤
I think the radius is a total distance around the circumference the diameter is half the radius
Extremely helpful video about replacing the wheel and axle plate. Thank you very much
You are very welcome!
Thanks bro u helped with my homework, ur prob not gonna see this, but u made a difference from this video, u helped me from not being confused ❤😂
I'm glad I was able to help!
@@pocketpoolschool8811 6 years and ur still replying, ur a g bro.
@Enchxnted_fnm I appreciate the love man! I'm blessed to get a couple comments a week like yours, the least I can do is spend 2min replying.
very helpful thanks
Glad I could help
Great video
Thank you!
Awesome explanation, this happened to my neighbor’s pool last year. It’s looks bad, but I think he’s gonna salvage it somehow. Thanks again for this video 👍🏽
My pleasure!
Great video
Thanks Torrey!
Wonderfully helpful. Thank you! One question. My Polaris has a gravel guard axle on 2 of 3 wheels. Will it be problem if I replace a gravel guard axle with a standard axle?
Glad you found it helpful! I personally like to replace like with like, but I have seen the standard axle on all wheels I believe. If you don't get a lot of debris in the pool it will probably be ok.
Thank you!!
You are very welcome!
Thanks!
You are very welcome sir
I put blue Loctite on all the threads when rebuilding a Polaris.
Can you buy the axle on its own or do you need to buy a wheel with an axle already installed?
Check out the parts breakout on my site to get the exact part numbers you need. www.pocketpoolschool.com/polaris-280/
You lost me! Bye
Hopefully someone can find you!
💯
Does the same math apply for Litres?
Yes, except it's not 7.5 gal per cubic foot
@PocketPoolSchool Thank you for the reply, so would it be 3.1416 x radius² x height? Not including the 7.5
Yep
My pool is a round 18x4 and for the life of me I just can’t figure it out. I did what you did and it came closer to 24,000 gallons. Google says multiply it this certain way and it comes to 7,630 gallons. When I google how many gallons is in my pool it says 6,424 gallons. I’m totally lost here lol As you could probably guess math was NOT my strongest subject 😅
7630 is going to be the total volume possible in your pool, but you won't keep it full to the brim, so the 6,424 number is probably the best to use for your chemical addition calculations
Great video! It showed me exactly what I needed!
Very helpful - after watching video, I was able order the right parts and fix our broken Polaris myself
I'm happy I was able to help!
Great video with proven tips. Thanks.
Thank you for posting! Made repair very easy and efficient!
I'm glad I was able to help!
Thank you! You made it easy.
You are very welcome
2:12 why did we divide 10 by 2?
Average is all the numbers added together divided by the number of numbers you added together. (8+2)/2 for example or… (8+5+2)/3 for example… etc
2:12 why did we divide 10 with 2?
We needed to get the average depth of the pool.
If the pool was 5' in the shallow end and 7' in the deep end, we would add them together 5+7=12 and divide by 2, so the average depth is 6'
Perfect! My wheel just fell off! I can’t believe Polaris doesn’t tighten the screws better.
This video is what I need! Where can I buy the spare wheel?
Check out a website I built just to help people like you! :) www.pocketpoolschool.com/polaris-280/ It has a complete list of parts with Amazon links.

Oh man! Good catch! Good thing I'm a pool guy and not a spelling teacher lol. I have no idea why my auto correct didn't find that one... oh well. Hopefully you benefited from the video!
Hey swimming pool company I will get you 15 to 20 leads every month and you don't have to pay us until we get you that many leads.
Solid info! So many people don’t take the extra two minutes to say’Hi, I take care of the pool next door.’
Agreed, sometimes the simple things can bring so much value
thanks dude
My pleasure my man
Be nice to know in litres
Same concept. Calculate the surface area of your circle, multiply by depth to get volume then just do the ratio of your measurement units to liters.
Thanks brother very good information 👌
can you help me with this question. if a 3 meter tall round water tank filled to the 3 meter level hold 20 kL of water, how many kL of water would the tank hold if filled to the 2 meter level?
2/3 of 20kl
I say thank you as well. The "pool people" told me to buy a new Polaris ... guess we won this round!
Much Appreciated! Your video was to the point and perfect instructions. Less than 10 minutes and I was done!
This helps a lot to me as a student
I really appreciate this video. I was able to repair my cleaner in just a few minutes thanks to your help. I'm watching it clean my pool now as I write this and am feeling very accomplished. Thanks!
So glad I could help!
What do you fix/or adjust if the driveshaft doesn't want to spin wheels?.
Move the wheel mount back or forward. If that does not work you may need to replace the bearings
@@pocketpoolschool8811 Thanks man that helped, got another cleaner that doesn't move but wheels spin backup- valve works fine what could be problem
very helpful! Thanks man.
You're welcome
Hi.. Your explanation is good. I have a question here. How to calculate weight of solid material in a cylinder based on density
That's beyond my limited swimming pool knowledge, sorry
You conveyed the info quite effectively. Great job and thank you. So many others spew info without teaching, but you taught well.
Thank you!
You need to upload again man! its been 2 whole years.
How do we know gallon is 7.5 I’m a baby when it comes to math
If you make a 1'x1' cube and put water into it. It will be 7.5 gal (technically like 7.48 or something, but I round up)
LilleyPadPools AllThingsPools Thanks. !!!!
