Know Your Volume

One of the most important pieces of information you can have for your pool or spa is the water volume in cubic metres (mt). Whether you're adjusting pH, Shocking, or adding PristineBlue, knowing the accurate volume is essential to make sure you are using the right amount of product.

Using too much or too little of some products can actually cause a problem to develop or even get worse. Ideally, your water should be metered as the pool is filled to obtain an accurate pool volume. Since this isn't always possible, we have provided the following forms for calculating volume.

For irregular shapes, calculating the area is less accurate. You will need to draw up the pool accurately to scale on graph paper using a square on the paper to represent a metre (or foot) square of pool. When you have finished, count the squares. For partial squares, count anything over half as one and ignore any under a half. When you have the area (A) multiply by depth (D) for the Volume in cubic metres. If you have several depths, break up your area calculation for each depth.
