This tool calculates the total area of your pool based on its dimensions, making planning and preparations easier.
Pool Area and Volume Calculator
Use this calculator to determine the surface area and volume of a swimming pool.
How to Use:
- Enter the length of the pool in meters.
- Enter the width of the pool in meters.
- Enter the depth at the shallow end in meters.
- Enter the depth at the deep end in meters.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the results.
How it Calculates:
The calculator determines the surface area by multiplying the length by the width. The average depth is calculated by taking the mean of the shallow and deep end depths. The volume is then calculated by multiplying the surface area by the average depth.
Limitations:
This calculator assumes a rectangular pool with a smooth gradient from the shallow to deep end. Irregular pool shapes or designs with multiple depth transitions are not accounted for in this simple model.
