The volume of a pool is important in helping to determine the quantities of chemicals to be added or to properly size some accessory equipment.  While a precise figure is always best, for most applications a reasonably close approximation will suffice.  In the long term, the amount of chemicals required depends on bather usage, location, exposure and maintenance practices, as well as the actual pool water volume.  Interior pool surface area is important to determine the cost of a resurfacing job or the amount of paint required for a refinishing.   For an alphabetized listing of the entire contents of the website, use the Table of Contents link, on top of every page.

If possible check with the builder or dealer.
You may have to calculate the volume based on two separate areas, if the pool is an "L" or "T" shape.
For a hexagon or Octagon shape, calculate as a circular pool.
Otherwise, use the calculations for either an oval or rectangular pool and substitute an average diameter, width or length.

 

By calculating the interior size and knowing the coverage expected from a gallon of paint or finish, the quantity of paint or finish can be approximated.
