   The shape of my pool is similar to what's on the Korean's flag, the   
   yin-yang, only half of it, of course, and the tail is cut off. I have   
   searched the net trying to figure out how to calculate the volume of   
   such a pool but couldn't find it.   
      
   I just arbitrarily add some amount of hypochlorite to the pool. Only one   
   person uses the pool occasionally. I figure as long as I keep the mold   
   from growing, it's OK.
