1. What is Pool Volume Calculation?

The pool volume calculation determines how many litres of water a pool can hold based on its surface area and average depth. This is essential for proper chemical treatment and pump sizing.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the pool volume formula:

Where:

• \( Area \) — Surface area of the pool in square meters
• \( Average\ Depth \) — (Shallow end depth + Deep end depth) ÷ 2
• \( 1000 \) — Conversion factor from cubic meters to litres

Explanation: The formula calculates the cubic volume of the pool and converts it from cubic meters to litres.

3. Importance of Pool Volume Calculation

Details: Knowing your pool's volume is crucial for proper chemical dosing, selecting the right pump and filter size, and maintaining water balance.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure your pool's dimensions accurately. For irregular shapes, divide into regular sections and calculate each separately. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I measure an irregularly shaped pool?
A: Divide the pool into regular shapes (rectangles, circles), calculate each section's volume separately, then sum them.

Q2: What if my pool has varying depths?
A: Calculate average depth by adding the shallowest and deepest points and dividing by two.

Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a good estimate. For precise measurements, consider professional measurement or water meter when filling.

Q4: Why is pool volume important for chemical treatment?
A: Chemical dosages are typically based on litres of water. Incorrect volume leads to over- or under-dosing.

Q5: Can I use this for other units like gallons?
A: This calculator provides litres. For gallons, multiply litres by 0.22 for UK gallons or 0.264 for US gallons.
