Pool Volume Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator estimates the volume of water in liters needed to fill a rectangular pool based on its dimensions in feet.
Purpose: It helps pool owners and maintenance professionals determine the correct amount of water for filling or treating pools.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The pool dimensions are multiplied together to get cubic feet, then converted to liters.
Details: Accurate water volume is crucial for proper chemical treatment, pump sizing, and heating calculations.
Tips: Measure pool 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?
A: For pools with varying depths: (Shallow End Depth + Deep End Depth) ÷ 2.
Q2: What about irregular shaped pools?
A: This calculator is for rectangular pools. For irregular shapes, divide into rectangular sections and sum the volumes.
Q3: Why convert to liters?
A: Liters are the standard unit for water treatment measurements and chemical dosing.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's accurate for rectangular pools. Actual volume may vary slightly due to pool shape variations.
Q5: Can I use meters instead of feet?
A: For meters, use the formula: L × W × D × 1000 (conversion factor would be different).
