How to Use This Calculator
- Select your pool shape: 1 = rectangular, 2 = oval, or 3 = round/circular.
- Enter the length and width in feet (or diameter for round pools).
- Enter the average depth in feet — for variable-depth pools, average the shallow and deep ends.
- Review Volume in Gallons and Volume in Cubic Feet as inputs for chemical dosing and heater sizing.
- Use Fill Time to estimate how long to fill with a garden hose (typically 5–10 GPM flow).
How the result changes with Length
| Length | Volume |
|---|---|
| 15 | 8,416 gallons |
| 38 | 21,319 gallons |
| 67 | 37,590 gallons |
| 91 | 51,055 gallons |
What each input means
- Pool Shape
- 1 = Rectangle, 2 = Round, 3 = Oval.
- Length
- Length of the pool (or long axis for oval pools).
- Width
- Width of the pool (or short axis for oval pools).
- Average Depth
- Average depth = (shallow end + deep end) / 2.
- Diameter (round pools)
- Diameter for round pools (ignored for rectangle/oval).
