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 the correct amount of water for filling or treating their pool.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( V_L \) — Volume of pool (litres)
• \( L \) — Length of pool (feet)
• \( W \) — Width of pool (feet)
• \( D_{avg} \) — Average depth of pool (feet)
• 28.317 — Conversion factor (cubic feet to litres)

Explanation: The pool dimensions are multiplied together to get cubic feet, then converted to litres.

3. Importance of Pool Volume Calculation

Details: Accurate volume measurement ensures proper chemical treatment, efficient filtration, and correct pump sizing.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure your pool's length, width, and average depth in feet. For irregular shapes, calculate sections separately.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I measure average depth?
A: Take measurements at both shallow and deep ends, add them together, and divide by 2.

Q2: What if my pool isn't rectangular?
A: For circular pools, use π × radius² × depth × 28.317. For oval pools, use π × length × width × depth × 7.079.

Q3: Why calculate in litres?
A: Litres are the standard measurement for pool chemicals and water treatment in most countries.

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

Q5: Does this include pool equipment volume?
A: No, this calculates only the pool water volume. Add 5-10% for piping and filter system if needed.
