This pool calculator helps you quickly and accurately determine the volume of water your pool holds.
How to Use the Pool Calculator
Fill in the dimensions of your pool, including the length, width, and depth in feet. Enter the current levels of chlorine and pH in the water. Lastly, provide the cost per gallon of water and the cost per unit of chlorine. Click the “Calculate” button to see the results.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator estimates the volume of your pool in gallons using the formula:
Volume = Length x Width x Depth x 7.48052
It then calculates the total cost by multiplying the volume by the cost per gallon and adding the cost of chlorine:
Total Cost = (Volume x Cost per Gallon) + (Chlorine Levels x Cost per Chlorine Unit)
Limitations
Please note that this calculator provides an estimate based on the provided values. Ensure all inputs are correctly filled for accurate calculations. The cost calculations might not account for additional pool treatments or variable costs based on location.
