Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to know my pool volume?
Pool volume is essential for accurate chemical dosing. Adding too little chemical won't be effective, while adding too much can damage the pool or be unsafe for swimmers.
How accurate is this calculator?
This calculator provides estimates within 5-10% for most pools. Irregular shapes, varying depths, and features like steps or benches can affect accuracy. For precise measurements, consider a professional water volume test.
What if my pool has an irregular shape?
For irregular pools, try breaking the pool into simpler shapes (rectangles, circles), calculate each section separately, and add them together. The kidney shape option also works for many free-form pools.
Should I use shallow+deep or average depth?
Use shallow+deep end measurements for pools with a consistent slope. Use average depth if you know the actual average, or for pools with varying depths throughout (like multiple ledges or a diving well).
