1. What is Pool Size Calculation?

The pool size calculation converts pool volume from litres to cubic meters, which is useful for various pool maintenance and chemical treatment calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple conversion formula:

Where:

• Volume — Pool water volume in litres
• 1000 — Conversion factor (1000 litres = 1 cubic meter)

Explanation: This conversion is necessary because many pool chemical dosing guidelines and equipment specifications use cubic meters as the standard unit.

3. Importance of Pool Size Calculation

Details: Knowing your pool's size in cubic meters is essential for proper chemical treatment, filtration system sizing, and heating calculations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your pool's volume in litres. The value must be greater than 0. For best results, use the most accurate volume measurement available.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I measure my pool's volume?
A: For rectangular pools: length × width × average depth. For circular pools: π × radius² × average depth. Multiply by 1000 for litres.

Q2: Why convert to cubic meters?
A: Many professional pool maintenance guidelines and chemical dosing instructions use cubic meters as the standard unit.

Q3: How accurate does the volume need to be?
A: For chemical treatments, ±10% is usually acceptable. For equipment sizing, greater precision may be needed.

Q4: Does pool shape affect the calculation?
A: The shape only affects how you measure the initial volume. The conversion from litres to cubic meters is the same regardless of shape.

Q5: What about irregularly shaped pools?
A: Break the pool down into regular shapes (rectangles, circles) and calculate each section separately, then sum the volumes.
