PoolTools

Pool design software

Trace the pool over a backyard photo or satellite view and set the scale from two tape measurements. Enter the shallow end, deep end and slope, and PoolTools works out the gallons, the excavation in cubic yards and the haul-off loads.

The same drawing sizes the circulation: flow from an 8 hour turnover, total head from the pipe run and equipment, and the salt and chlorine to add for that volume.
