Pool Volume Calculator
Calculate swimming pool water volume with precision for maintenance and chemical dosing
What is a Pool Volume Calculator?
A pool volume calculator is an essential tool for swimming pool owners and maintenance professionals that accurately determines the total water capacity of your pool. This calculation is crucial for proper chemical dosing, heating system sizing, filtration equipment selection, and overall pool maintenance. Understanding your pool's exact volume ensures optimal water chemistry, cost-effective chemical usage, and proper equipment operation.
Our advanced calculator supports multiple pool shapes including rectangular, circular, and oval pools with precise mathematical formulas. It handles both metric and imperial measurements, providing results in liters, gallons, and cubic meters. The tool considers various pool configurations and provides additional calculations for chemical dosing, heating requirements, and maintenance schedules.
This calculator is indispensable for pool installers planning chemical systems, homeowners managing pool maintenance, pool service professionals calculating treatment dosages, heating system designers sizing equipment, and anyone involved in pool construction or renovation. Accurate volume calculations prevent over-treatment, reduce chemical costs, and ensure safe, balanced water chemistry.

Volume Calculation Formulas
Where V = volume (m³), L = length (m), W = width (m), D = average depth (m). Most common pool shape with straightforward calculation.
Where r = radius (m), D = average depth (m). Radius equals diameter divided by 2. π ≈ 3.14159.
Where a = semi-major axis (length/2), b = semi-minor axis (width/2), D = average depth (m).
Chemical Dosing Calculations
Where Cl = chlorine needed (grams), V = volume (1000L). Standard initial treatment dose.
Approximate chemical needed per 0.1 pH unit adjustment per 1000L of water.

Calculations assume uniform depth. For variable depth pools, use average depth for best accuracy.
1 cubic meter = 1000 liters = 264.172 US gallons. Imperial measurements converted to metric for calculation.
Based on standard pool chemistry guidelines. Actual requirements may vary based on water conditions.
