Kidney-Shaped Pool Volume Calculation Guide:
To calculate the volume of your kidney-shaped pool, you need to estimate the surface area and average depth. This involves a few key measurements:
- Maximum Length (L)
- Maximum Width (W)
- Average Depth (D)
For a kidney-shaped pool, determining the surface area is a bit more complex than a rectangular pool. You typically use the formula: Area = 3/4 × L × W. Once you have the surface area, multiply it by the average depth to find the volume.
Keep in mind that one cubic foot of water is approximately 7.5 gallons. To find out how many gallons your kidney-shaped pool holds, multiply the volume in cubic feet by 7.5.
How to Calculate Pool Volume Step-By-Step For Kidney Pool:
-
Step 1: Gather Information
- Measure the lengths of sides A (LA) and B (LB), length of side C (LC), shallow depth (DS), and deep depth (DD) of your kidney-shaped pool in feet.
-
Step 2: Calculate Volume
- To find the volume in cubic feet, use the formula: Volume = 0.45 x (LA + LB) x LC x (DS + DD).
- Multiply the values according to the formula to get the volume in cubic feet.
-
Step 3: Convert to Gallons
- Convert cubic feet to gallons by multiplying the cubic feet value by 7.48052.
- Volume (gallons) = Volume (cubic feet) x 7.48052.
