Pool Volume Formula:
From: | To: |
The pool water volume calculation determines how many gallons of water your pool holds. This is essential for proper chemical treatment, filtration, and maintenance of your swimming pool.
The calculator uses the standard pool volume formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the cubic feet of water in the pool and converts it to gallons (1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons).
Details: Knowing your pool's volume is crucial for:
Tips:
Q1: How do I measure an irregularly shaped pool?
A: Divide the pool into rectangular sections, calculate each separately, then sum the volumes.
Q2: What if my pool has a sloping bottom?
A: Use the average depth: (shallow end depth + deep end depth) ÷ 2.
Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a good estimate. For precise measurements, consider professional measurement.
Q4: Does this work for oval or circular pools?
A: No, this is for rectangular pools. Circular pools use π × radius² × depth × 7.48.
Q5: Why is pool volume important for chemical treatment?
A: Chemical dosages are based on gallons of water. Incorrect volume leads to improper treatment.
