Calculating the Volume (Gallonage) of Your Swimming Pool
Knowing the volume of water (in gallons) in your swimming pool is important in all areas of swimming pool maintenance and chemical applications. It is also vital to know when choosing the appropriate pool equipment for your swimming pool. Simply stated, the volume of your pool is a calculation of your swimming pool's dimensions multiplied by your pool's average depth. What follows is a chart designed to help you estimate the gallonage in your style swimming pool. After that we have posted many of the most common dimensions with their calculated gallonage.
Chart To Estimate Gallonage of Swimming Pools
- Average Depth = depth at the deep end + the depth at the shallow end / 2.
- Rectangular Pools - Multiply length x width x average depth x 7.5 = gallons
- Round Pools - Multiply diameter x diameter x average depth x 5.9 = gallons
- Oval Pools - Multiply full width x full length x average depth x 6.7 = gallons
- Irregular shapes and size pools capacity should be determined by your pool builder or specialist.
- If your pool has sloping sides, multiply your final figure of gallonage by 0.85 for correct gallonage.

What Is Swimming Pool Equipment?
Swimming pool equipment is a broad term used to describe any one of a number of devices (usually mechanical in nature) designed for a specific application in the swimming pool. Common jobs for swimming pool equipment include: circulation, filtration, heating, and cleaning of pool water and surfaces. Pool equipment is designed to facilitate necessary functions or to make pool maintenance easier and less time consuming. For this reason, some pieces of pool equipment are absolutely necessary (pool filters, pool pumps) while others add ease of operation and/or comfort to the swimming pool (pool cleaners, pool heaters). This article will provide a guide to the basic types of pool equipment available for your swimming pool and an overview of the functions performed by each type.
Two Vital Pieces of Pool Equipment: Your Pool Pump & Filter
Swimming pool pumps and filters aid water circulation and filtration and are vital pieces of swimming pool equipment.Whether they come mounted together or separately, your swimming pool pump and your pool filter will work together to circulate and clean the water in your swimming pool. Without either one of these, keeping your pool water clean would be near impossible. Because these two pieces of pool equipment work so closely together, it is important to choose the correct size pool pump to complement your filter and vice versa. Matching these two pieces to the volume of water in your pool and to each other will help you optimize water circulation and filtration, making the rest of your swimming pool maintenance efforts as effective as possible.
The Pool Equipment Everybody Loves: Automatic Pool CleanersAutomatic pool cleaners are pieces of pool equipment that make removing dirt and debris easier than ever before
The automatic swimming pool cleaner is one piece of pool equipment that will make keepingyour pool clean and free from debris easier than ever before. Coming in 3 basic styles, suction side, pressure side, and robotic, these cleaners all have the same purpose: removing debris and keeping your pool surfaces clean. Some types of pool cleaners even aid in the distribution of clean water throughout the pool. Automatic pool cleaners come in a variety of shapes and sizes making it easy to find the one that's right for you and your budget.
Pool Equipment Designed to Make You Feel The Heat
If you hate waiting for nature to heat your pool water every spring or find your pool season ending too early in the fall, you need a piece of pool equipment designed to get that water up to the temperature you like. Swimming pool heaters, heat pumps, and solar heating systems are designed to do just that. A pool heating solution is a great way to extend your season on both ends. The 3 types of equipment have different capacities and are powered in different ways. Finding the solution to heat your pool will depend largely on your pool volume, availability of fuel, needs, and budget.
Equipment to Run Your Pool Equipment: Automatic ControlsAutomatic controls allow you to set your pool equipment to run at certain times.
Automatic controls make it easy to ensure the rest of your pool equipment will run at the appropriate intervals. Setting these controls to the times you want your pump & filter, heat pump, solar system etc. to run will make sure the job gets done even when you're not around. These are great for those who love the pool but not the maintenance, or have busy schedules that do not allow them to turn all the right things on and off at the right times.
Pool Equipment Conclusion: Be Informed...
The most important thing to know before buying a piece of pool equipment is: As Much As You Can. The more you know, the easier it is to make a decision. Knowing the size you need in relation to your pool volume is key. Finding out which type of fuel is most readily available in your area will save you money in choosing the right pool heater. Above all else, knowing what you need, and what any piece of equipment can realistically provide will help make the right choice the first time. Being an informed consumer will help you land the best deal and be satisfied with any purchase you make.
