1. What is Pool Volume Calculation?

The pool volume calculation determines the total capacity of a round swimming pool in litres. This is essential for proper chemical treatment, water replacement, and equipment sizing.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the round pool volume formula:

Where:

• \( \pi \) — Mathematical constant (~3.14159)
• \( r \) — Radius of the pool (meters)
• \( depth \) — Average depth of the pool (meters)
• 1000 — Conversion factor from cubic meters to litres

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

3. Importance of Volume Calculation

Details: Knowing your pool's volume is crucial for proper chemical dosing, water balance maintenance, and efficient filtration system operation.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure the radius from the center to the edge of the pool. For variable depth pools, use the average depth. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How accurate is this calculation?
A: Very accurate for perfectly round pools with uniform depth. Irregular shapes require more complex calculations.

Q2: What if my pool isn't perfectly round?
A: For oval pools, use the average of length and width as diameter. Freeform pools may require professional measurement.

Q3: Should I measure in meters or feet?
A: This calculator uses meters. For feet, use different conversion factors (1 cubic foot ≈ 28.3168 litres).

Q4: How often should I recalculate volume?
A: Recalculate if you change pool shape, depth, or after significant renovations.

Q5: Why is volume important for pool maintenance?
A: Proper chemical treatment depends on accurate volume to avoid under-dosing (ineffective) or over-dosing (damaging).
