I'm no expert either. Well, I'm not even a native speaker, but I'm convinced that the commas are perfectly right, and necessary. They indicate the pause one makes when speaking. I also think they're necessary because they're connecting two sentences:
Gallons of hot water flow through our pools. The gallons naturally change the water at an impressive rate of six times daily.
Gallons of hot water flow through our pools. The gallons naturally change the water at an impressive rate of six times daily.
