How to calculate the cubic meters of a round or cylindrical pool? You don't know the calculation formulas yet or you forgot them? Here is a short guide to teach you how to calculate the volume of a swimming pool.

How to calculate the volume of a round swimming pool?

It is certainly true that the calculations tend to put off many people. However, if you own a swimming pool it would be very useful for you to become a mathematician just for a few minutes in order to know the volume of your swimming pool. However, calculating the volume of a round pool may seem more difficult than calculating the volume of other types of pools. Fortunately, you can ensure that you will have more to gain by making this calculation. Calculating the volume of a round swimming pool is no more complicated than that of a square, rectangular, oval, variable-shaped swimming pool... The main thing for you will be to know the correct formula which is used to calculate the volume. of a round swimming pool. Clearly, calculating the volume of your pool is not a luxury that you allow yourself. It is rather mandatory for you to know how to perform this calculation for various reasons.

Why is calculating the volume of a pool so important to us at foudebassin?

The calculation of the volume of a swimming pool is essential for us at foudebassin, because this calculation represents the very first step to be taken in order to be able to treat a swimming pool correctly. Here at foudebassin, we offer a multitude of swimming pool treatment products to our customers. So, only the calculation of the volume of your pool will allow you to choose the pool treatments that will suit you best from our wide range of pool treatment products. At foudebassin, calculating the volume of a pool simply means better selection of pool treatment products. Calculating the volume of your pool is a crucial parameter that will allow you to select the most suitable pool treatment products for your pool. Calculating the volume of your swimming pool will naturally allow you to know the volume of water in your swimming pool. Therefore, when it comes to selecting maintenance equipment for your pool, you will easily size the equipment in relation to the volume of your pool.

By doing so, you are sure to choose the most efficient and optimized maintenance equipment for your pool. Thanks to the calculation of the volume of your swimming pool, you will choose the best: the filtration system of your swimming pool, the pump, the heating system, the cleaning robot, the filter, the water treatment products... It is note that these aforementioned materials are all available among the swimming pool treatment products that we offer to our customers. Also, the calculation of the volume of a swimming pool remains an essential parameter which has a strong impact when it is necessary to properly maintain the water of a swimming pool. As part of the maintenance of your swimming pool water, the calculation of the volume of your swimming pool will be used to determine the correct doses of products (chlorine, pH, bromine, active oxygen, etc.) which will be adequate for a treatment. efficiency of your swimming pool water. However, cases of concrete examples will be able to better edify you on the importance of the calculation of the volume of a swimming pool. Let's talk about a very simple example.

Example A large and a small swimming pool cannot have identical filtration systems. Calculating the volume of these pools will clearly show that the water in the small pool will renew itself faster compared to the water in the large pool. This can only be normal, because the water volume of the small pool is lower than that of the large one. In this specific case, the calculation of the volume of a swimming pool will guide you towards the only solution which is the dimensioning of the power of the filtration systems in relation to the volume of water of each swimming pool (small and large). In short, the larger a pool, the more powerful its filtration system must be. Now that you are aware of the importance of calculating the volume of a swimming pool, here is how to carry out this calculation in m3 for a round, square, variable-shaped swimming pool...

Methods for calculating the volume of a swimming pool

The calculation of the volume of a swimming pool always gives a fairly reliable result, but which very often contains a small margin of error. It is therefore recommended to always round the final result to the higher volume in m3 as a safety margin. This will allow you to obtain a non-decimal figure which will be more suitable for calculating the doses of the various pool treatment products as well as for the selection of maintenance equipment. Also, the average depth is an essential element that enters into the calculation of the volume of a swimming pool. It is most often easy to determine for a flat-bottomed pool. On the other hand, for a pool with an inclined bottom, it is a little more difficult to determine. So, to determine the average depth of a pool with a sloping bottom, it must be calculated. The calculation of the average depth of a swimming pool with an inclined bottom can then be summarized as follows: average depth = (maximum depth + minimum depth) / 2 Example: (2m + 1m) / 2 = 1.5m

Calculation of the volume of a round pool

To calculate the volume of a round pool, you can use the radius or the diameter of the pool. For a round pool with a radius of 3m and a depth of 1.5m, the volume is equal to: Volume = radius × radius × average depth × ft (3.14) Example: 3m × 3m × 1.5m × 3.14 = 42.39 = 43 m3 Volume = diameter × diameter × average depth × 0.78 Example: 6m × 6m × 1.5m × 0.78 = 42.12 = 43 m3

Calculating the volume of a square or rectangular pool

To calculate the volume of a square or rectangular pool, you must first know the length, width and depth of this pool. For a square pool, the length and the width will be replaced by the sides and will then be the same measurements. If the square or rectangular pool has a sloping bottom and its exact depth is difficult to estimate, then you must calculate its average depth by simply following the calculation method recommended above. Calculating the volume of a square or rectangular swimming pool will then consist of multiplying the length by the width and by the depth. The result of this calculation will suddenly represent the volume of the pool in cubic meters. Volume of a square or rectangular swimming pool = Length × Width × depth Examples: • For a square swimming pool which has a side of 7m and a depth of 1.5m: Volume = 7m × 7m × 1.5m = 73.5 m3 i.e. 74 m3 (74000 litres) • For a rectangular swimming pool which is 9m long, 5m wide with a flat bottom of 1.8m: Volume = 9m × 5m × 1.8m = 81 m3 (81000 litres) • For a rectangular pool with a sloping bottom which has a length of 10m, a width of 6m, a maximum depth of 1.7m and a minimum depth of 1.2m: Volume = 10m × 6m × ((1.7m + 1.2m) / 2) = 87 m3 (87000 liters)

Calculation of the volume of an oval pool

The calculation of the volume of an oval swimming pool differs slightly from those of other types of swimming pools. To perform this calculation, you must multiply the length by the width and then by the average depth. Finally, you multiply this all by 0.89. Example: For an oval swimming pool which has a length of 7m, a width of 3m and an average depth of 1.6m: Volume = 7m × 3m × 1.6m × 0.89 = 29.9m3 or 30 m3

Calculation of the volume of a swimming pool with variable shape

To calculate the volume of a pool with a variable or rounded shape, you must multiply its greatest length by its greatest width and then by its average depth. Finally, you multiply this all by 0.85. Volume = great length × great width × average depth × 0.85 In short, you now have everything you need to calculate the volume of water in your pool. So, calculate the volume of your pool today and choose your ideal equipment from our wide range of pool treatment products that we offer.
