How do I know the amount of swimming pool chemicals I need for my home swimming pool?

You will need to add an amount of chemicals that is proportional to the size of your pool. The containers of the chemicals should tell you how much to add for the size of pool you have.

Can you add sodium bicarbonate to a swimming pool while people are swimming in it?
