Corrections

Formula changes should be visible, testable, and sourced.

Pool chemistry content has to be handled carefully. A typo in a formula, unit, product strength, or source note can change what a pool owner adds to the water. Corrections are treated as product fixes, not casual copy edits.

What gets corrected

  • Wrong formula constants, unit conversions, or product-strength assumptions.
  • Calculator bugs that change the result or hide an important warning.
  • Broken source links or source notes that no longer support the page.
  • Unsafe wording that could encourage mixing chemicals, overdosing, or skipping retesting.

How fixes are handled

  1. Reproduce the issue with the exact calculator inputs or source URL.
  2. Check the formula or wording against a public source, product label, or manufacturer document.
  3. Update the calculator, explanation, source note, and tests together when the math changes.
  4. Update the last-reviewed date when a formula or source record changes.

Current limitation

Pool Care Calculators does not currently publish a full public changelog for every wording adjustment. Formula and source governance is tracked in the site source data and test suite. A public changelog is planned before the calculator library expands into a larger programmatic SEO system.
