Imperial (feet and inches) and Metric (mm, cm, metres and kilometres) are everyday examples of this. In many cases the size, bulk or speed of something may be measured using multiple methods. In different industries and businesses the method used may change by product, manufacturer, model, etc.

We hope you find the below conversion chart useful for all things related to your swimming pool or spa and the products you use on them. You may find them helpful when you are looking to size a replacement pump or pool cover, reviewing your pool heating requirements or calculating the right amount of chemicals to dose your pool with.
