Squared multiplied by itself means 5 feet times 5 feet equals 25 square feet. Knowing this, you can return to the formula:. In measuring the capacity of a circular spa , you might need to calculate two or three areas within the hot tub and add them together to arrive at a total volume. An empty circular hot tub looks like an upside-down wedding cake, because of the seats.
Therefore, you might want to treat it as two separate volumes-the volume above the seat line and the volume below. In the wooden hot tub, where there is actually water above and below the seats, the tub can be measured as if there are no seats because this difference is negligible. There are two methods used to calculate the capacity of irregular shapes. First, you can imagine the pool or hot tub as a combination of smaller, regular shapes.
Measure these various areas and use the calculations described previously for each square or rectangular area and for each circular area. Add these volumes together to determine the total capacity.
The total of measurement A plus measurement B multiplied by 0. The rest of the calculations you are now familiar with. Try this volume calculation:. One of the most important calculations you will use is parts per million ppm. The amount of solids and liquids in the water is measured in parts per million, as in three parts of chlorine in every one million parts of water, or 3 ppm.
However, one gallon of chlorine, for example, poured into one million gallons of water does not equal 1 ppm. That is because the two liquids are not of equal density.
This becomes obvious since a gallon of water weighs 8. The chlorine is a denser liquid; there's more of it than an equal volume of water. A New Generation of Pool Finishes. Pool Volume Calculator Save. Rectangle Circle Triangle. Depth Oval Pools:. Just take your newly discovered measurements for Length, Width, Diameter if Round , and Average Depth - and plug those numbers into the E-Z Pool Water Calculator and see how much water is in your pool.
It's that easy! Blah, Blah, Blah. If you just don't care that much about knowing the "exact" amount of water in your pool, you are in luck! We have created some handy charts of the most popular sized Pools, and their Average Gallons of water. These charts are generally accurate enough for most residential uses. Can't find what you need?

Length x width x depth x 7. Length times width gives the surface area of the pool. Multiplying that by the depth gives the volume in cubic meters. Length x width x average depth x 7. Multiplying that by the average depth gives the volume in cubic meters.
Measure the length, width, and average depth of the pool, rounding each measurement off to the nearest meter. If the shallow end is 0. If the majority the pool is shallow and then drops off suddenly t o a deep end , you will have a different average depth.
In such a case, you might want to treat the pool as two parts. Measure the length, width, and average depth of the shallow section, then take the same measurements for the deeper section.
Calculate the volume of the shallow portion and add that to the volume you calculate for the deeper portion. Make sure to use the actual water depth in your calculations, not the depth of the container.
