Pool Volume Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator estimates the volume of a pool in liters based on its length, width, and average depth in feet.
Purpose: It helps pool owners and professionals determine the water capacity of rectangular pools for maintenance, chemical treatment, and filling purposes.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculator multiplies the three dimensions to get cubic feet, then converts to liters.
Details: Accurate volume calculation ensures proper chemical dosing, correct pump sizing, and efficient water treatment.
Tips: Measure your pool's length and width at their longest points. For depth, average the shallow and deep end measurements if applicable.
Q1: How do I measure average depth for uneven pools?
A: Add the shallow end depth to the deep end depth, then divide by 2.
Q2: Does this work for non-rectangular pools?
A: This calculator is for rectangular pools. Other shapes require different formulas.
Q3: Why convert to liters instead of gallons?
A: Liters are the standard metric unit for pool volume and chemical dosing calculations.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's accurate for rectangular pools with straight sides. Irregular shapes may require professional measurement.
Q5: Can I use meters instead of feet?
A: For meters, use the formula L×W×D×1000 (omit the conversion factor) as 1 cubic meter = 1000 liters.
