1. What is the Round Pool Volume Formula?

The round pool volume formula calculates the total water capacity of a circular swimming pool in litres based on its radius and average depth.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ V = \pi \times R^2 \times D \times 28.32 \]

Where:

\( V \) — Volume in litres
\( R \) — Radius in feet
\( D \) — Average depth in feet
28.32 — Conversion factor (cubic feet to litres)

Explanation: The formula calculates the cylindrical volume in cubic feet and converts it to litres.

3. Importance of Pool Volume Calculation

Details: Knowing your pool's volume is essential for proper chemical treatment, pump sizing, and maintenance planning.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure the pool's radius (half of diameter) and average depth (shallow end + deep end divided by 2). Enter values in feet.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I measure average depth?
A: Measure shallowest and deepest points, add them together and divide by 2.

Q2: What if my pool isn't perfectly round?
A: This calculation works best for true circular pools. For oval pools, use different formulas.

Q3: Why convert to litres?
A: Litres are the standard unit for pool chemical dosing in most countries.

Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: Very accurate for uniform circular pools. Irregular shapes or varying depths may require more complex calculations.

Q5: Can I use meters instead of feet?
A: For meters, use the formula V = π × R² × D × 1000 with radius and depth in meters.
