О калькуляторе: Pool volume and tank capacity calculator
Volume is the water's surface area times its depth: length × width × average depth for a rectangular pool with a sloping floor, π × radius² × depth for a round pool or upright tank, and π/4 × length × width × depth for an oval. The result is given in litres, US gallons and cubic metres, and the fill time is the volume divided by the flow rate.
The default 10 × 5 m pool, 1 m deep at one end and 2 m at the other, holds 75,000 L (19,813 US gallons) and takes about 42 hours to fill at 30 L/min. Raising its free chlorine by 2 ppm needs 150 g of available chlorine, which is 1.2 L of 12.5% liquid.
One ppm is 1 mg of available chlorine per litre, and the product amount is that mass divided by its strength. Liquid strength is read as trade percent, grams per 100 mL, so 12.5% liquid carries 125 g per litre.
Вопросы
How do you calculate pool volume in gallons?
Multiply length × width × average depth in feet to get cubic feet, then multiply by 7.48, the number of US gallons in a cubic foot (1,728 ÷ 231 cubic inches). A 30 × 15 ft pool averaging 5 ft deep holds 2,250 ft³, or 16,831 gallons. For a round pool use π × radius² × depth: 24 ft across and 4 ft deep holds 13,536 gallons.
How many litres of water are in a pool?
Multiply length × width × average depth in metres, then by 1,000, since a cubic metre holds 1,000 litres. A 10 × 5 m pool sloping from 1 m to 2 m has an average depth of 1.5 m, so it holds 75 m³, or 75,000 L. A round pool 5 m across with 1.2 m of water holds π × 2.5² × 1.2 = 23.6 m³, or 23,562 L.
How do you find the volume of an oval pool?
Multiply length × width × depth by π/4, about 0.785, because an ellipse covers π/4 of the rectangle around it. A 30 × 15 ft oval with 4 ft of water holds 1,413.7 ft³, or 10,575 US gallons. The common shortcut of length × width × depth × 5.9 gives 10,620 gallons, because 5.9 rounds up 0.785 × 7.48 = 5.875.
How much chlorine raises a pool by 1 ppm?
One ppm needs 1 mg of available chlorine per litre, so 10,000 US gallons (37,854 L) needs 37.9 g: about 10.2 fl oz of 12.5% liquid, 12.8 fl oz of 10% liquid or 2.1 oz of 65% cal-hypo. The CDC advises keeping free chlorine at 1 ppm or more in pools and 3 ppm or more in hot tubs, with pH between 7.0 and 7.8.
How long does it take to fill a pool with a hose?
Divide the volume by the flow rate. At 30 L/min the default 75,000 L pool takes 2,500 minutes, about 41 h 40 min, and at 9 US gallons a minute a 13,536-gallon round pool takes about 25 hours. To find your own flow rate, time how long the hose takes to fill a bucket of known size and divide the volume by the minutes.
Насколько точен «Pool volume and tank capacity calculator»?
Точность зависит от введённых данных и допущений метода. Десятичная арифметика использует 50 значащих цифр, но оценки, численные методы и исходные данные могут быть менее точными; округление на экране не устраняет эти ограничения. Решённые примеры, проверенные по независимым источникам: 5. Например, «10 × 5 m pool, 1 m to 2 m deep, +2 ppm with 12.5% liquid» проверяется по источнику Python decimal: 10 × 5 × 1.5 = 75 m³; 75,000 L ÷ 30 L/min = 2,500 min; 2 mg/L × 75,000 L = 150 g ÷ 125 g/L = 1.2 L.
Откуда взята методика?
Clean Pool Math — chlorine per 10,000 gal per 1 ppm: 13 fl oz of 10% liquid, 2.1 oz of 65% cal-hypo, 2.4 oz of 56% dichlor; PHTA — Sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine) fact sheet; CDC — Operating public pools, hot tubs and splash pads (free chlorine and pH levels).
