1. What is a Pool Volume Calculator in Litres?

Definition: This calculator estimates the volume of water needed to fill a rectangular pool, measured in litres.

Purpose: It helps pool owners and maintenance professionals determine how much water is required for proper pool operation and chemical treatment.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( V_L \) — Volume of water (litres)
• \( L \) — Length of pool (feet)
• \( W \) — Width of pool (feet)
• \( D_{avg} \) — Average depth of pool (feet)

Explanation: The pool dimensions are multiplied together to get cubic feet, then converted to litres (1 ft³ = 28.317 litres).

3. Importance of Pool Volume Calculation

Details: Accurate volume measurement is essential for proper chemical dosing, pump sizing, and water treatment planning.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure pool length and width at their longest points. For depth, average the shallow and deep end measurements. All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I measure average depth?
A: Add the shallow end depth to the deep end depth, then divide by 2.

Q2: What if my pool isn't rectangular?
A: This calculator is for rectangular pools only. Different formulas are needed for oval or irregular shapes.

Q3: Why calculate in litres instead of gallons?
A: Litres are the standard metric unit for pool volume and chemical dosing in most countries.

Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a good estimate. For precise measurements, consider professional pool volume assessment.

Q5: Does this include water in pipes and filters?
A: No, the calculation is for pool water only. Add 5-10% for system volume if needed.
