Methodology
Transparent calculation
BuildMeter converts every input to a consistent internal unit, applies the selected allowance, and rounds products up to whole purchasable units.
Average depth = (shallow depth + deep depth) ÷ 2. Volume = length × width × average depth × shape factor. Circulation flow = volume ÷ turnover minutes.
FAQ
Pool Volume Calculator questions
How is average pool depth calculated?+
For a steadily sloped floor, the shallow and deep depths are averaged. Complex floors need a more detailed calculation.
What turnover time should be used?+
Requirements vary by pool type, jurisdiction and equipment. Follow local standards and equipment guidance.
Why might measured fill volume differ?+
Steps, benches, curves and the actual waterline all change the final volume.
