How can I work out the volume of water in my pool?
Question:I have a splash pool that is 250cms x 250cm square and 55cms deep.
I have looked at other answers to this but dont understand what the ^ and* bits are so I cant use them to answer my question... so can you please help me out here?
Answers:
length times width times height equals volume in cubic centimeters.
........
Multiply each of those measurements by one another and then multiply that by 1 as that is the density of water- 1g/cm^3
You have to first measure up to where the Waterline comes to.
Then use the Standard Volume formula,
Volume = Length times Width times Depth.
Then get the result, should be something like 29000 aprox.
Then use an online converter and go from Cubic Centimeters to Galons or litres or whatever you need.
Multiply the three figures together to get the answer in cubic centimetres.
If you want it in litres, divide that by the number of ccs in a litre, which is a thousand. This will also give you the weight of water in kilogrammes, as a litre of water weighs 1 kg.
Here's an easy solution. Multiply the length x width x average depth. You can figure average depth by measuring the shallowest, and deepest points, then divide by two. This will give you your pool's capacity. If it's an irregular shape, you may have to average it out, or go with the widest points to get lenght and width.
