Sloping-floor pool volume
Estimate a rectangular pool with a linearly sloping floor.
How this works
Volume = length × width × average of shallow and deep depth.
Example
Using the example inputs, pool water volume is 75,000 L.
- Inside length
- 10 m
- Inside width
- 5 m
- Shallow water depth
- 1 m
- Deep water depth
- 2 m
- Pool water volume
- 75,000 L
Scope and assumptions
Assumes constant width and a linear slope. Excludes steps, benches, and curved walls; not chemical dosing.
