Live result46.4 m³46,400 L · 12,257.6 US gal
Formula used

Average depth = (shallow depth + deep depth) ÷ 2. Measured volume m³ = length × width × average depth × shape factor. Litres = m³ × 1,000. US gallons = litres ÷ 3.785411784. Planning volume = measured volume × (1 + allowance percent ÷ 100).

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

The exact method behind this answer

CalculationTime keeps the method visible so the number can be checked instead of blindly trusted.

Average depth = (shallow depth + deep depth) ÷ 2. Measured volume m³ = length × width × average depth × shape factor. Litres = m³ × 1,000. US gallons = litres ÷ 3.785411784. Planning volume = measured volume × (1 + allowance percent ÷ 100).

Current inputs in the calculation

These values come from the controls above and update when the calculator changes.

Pool length
8 metres
Measure the internal water length, not the outside paving or coping.
Pool width
4 metres
Use the average width for rounded or irregular pools.
Shallow-end depth
1.1 metres
Measure water depth, not shell depth above the waterline.
Deep-end depth
1.8 metres
Use the same value as shallow depth for a flat-bottom pool.
Shape factor
1
1.00 rectangular, about 0.85 kidney/rounded rectangle, about 0.79 oval/round.
Safety allowance
0 percent
Optional planning margin for uncertainty. Keep it separate from the measured volume.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Keep measured volume and planning allowance separate before using the number for treatment, heating or refill records.

  • Length, width and depths are internal water measurements in metres.
  • Shape factor is a planning approximation: 1.00 rectangular, about 0.85 for many rounded/kidney pools and about 0.79 for oval or round pools.
  • The result is a volume estimate for planning. Chemical dosing, safety rules, water testing and equipment sizing should follow product labels and qualified pool guidance.
  • US liquid gallons are shown for comparison; imperial gallons are different and are not used here.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: write down whether the depth was measured at the waterline, the tile line or the shell floor. A small depth assumption changes the litres enough to affect chemical and heating estimates.

Visual grid

This result measures part of the space you live in

Length, area, volume and material estimates are grid problems too: measure the space, account for edges and allowances, then turn the pattern into a number you can use.

Measured output46.4 m³

Space calculations turn a real surface, room, run or volume into cells, edges and allowances that can be quoted, ordered or checked.

Method

Average depth = (shallow depth + deep depth) ÷ 2. Measured volume m³ = length × width × average depth × shape factor. Litres = m³ × 1,000. US gallons = litres ÷ 3.785411784. Planning volume = measured volume × (1 + allowance percent ÷ 100).

  1. For an 8 m by 4 m pool with 1.1 m shallow depth, 1.8 m deep depth and rectangular shape factor 1.00: average depth is 1.45 m. Volume = 8 × 4 × 1.45 × 1.00 = 46.4 m³, which is 46,400 litres or about 12,257.6 US gallons.

Assumptions

  • Length, width and depths are internal water measurements in metres.
  • Shape factor is a planning approximation: 1.00 rectangular, about 0.85 for many rounded/kidney pools and about 0.79 for oval or round pools.
  • The result is a volume estimate for planning. Chemical dosing, safety rules, water testing and equipment sizing should follow product labels and qualified pool guidance.
  • US liquid gallons are shown for comparison; imperial gallons are different and are not used here.
