Pool Volume Calculator
Calculate the exact volume of your swimming pool in gallons, liters, or cubic meters. This calculator provides precise measurements for different pool shapes, helping you determine water requirements, chemical dosages, heating costs, and more.
Why Pool Volume Matters
Knowing your pool's exact volume is critical for proper pool maintenance and operation. It allows you to determine precise chemical dosages, filter run times, heating requirements, and water costs. Incorrect volume calculations can lead to water chemistry imbalances, wasted chemicals, inefficient heating, and potential equipment damage.
Common Pool Types & Typical Volumes
In-Ground Concrete/Gunite
Custom-shaped pools built from reinforced concrete and plaster. These are highly customizable but most expensive.
Fiberglass
Pre-formed shells with smooth, non-porous surface. Quick installation and low maintenance.
Vinyl Liner
Steel or polymer walls with vinyl liner. More affordable but liners need replacement every 5-9 years.
Above-Ground
Temporary or permanent structures that sit above ground. Most affordable option.
Plunge Pool/Cocktail Pool
Small pools designed for cooling off, not swimming. Popular for smaller yards.
Infinity Edge
Any pool type with one or more 'vanishing' edges, creating a visual effect.
Note: Volumes are approximate and vary based on specific dimensions. Use our Pool Volume Calculator for precise calculations based on your pool's exact measurements.

Did You Know?
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 390 children under age 15 drown in pools and spas each year. Installing proper barriers and alarms can reduce these incidents by up to 50%. Proper pool safety isn't just recommended—it's essential.
