Circular Pool Volume Formula:
From: | To: |
The circular pool volume calculation determines how many gallons of water are needed to fill a round swimming pool. This is essential for proper chemical treatment, pump sizing, and maintenance planning.
The calculator uses the circular pool volume formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the cylindrical volume of the pool and converts it from cubic feet to gallons.
Details: Knowing your pool's volume is crucial for proper chemical dosing, determining pump and filter requirements, and calculating heating costs.
Tips: Measure the pool's radius from center to edge, and average depth (shallow end + deep end ÷ 2). Enter values in feet for accurate results.
Q1: How do I measure pool radius accurately?
A: Measure from the exact center of the pool to the edge. For irregular shapes, take multiple measurements and average them.
Q2: What if my pool has variable depth?
A: Calculate average depth by adding the shallow end and deep end depths, then dividing by two.
Q3: Why is the result in gallons?
A: Gallons are the standard measurement for pool volume in the United States for chemical dosing and equipment specifications.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: Very accurate for perfectly circular pools. For freeform pools, consider breaking it into circular segments.
Q5: What about pools with sloping sides?
A: This assumes vertical walls. For significantly sloping sides, more complex calculations may be needed.
