What is used to determine the volume of a swimming pool?

The best way to determine the volume of a swimming pool typically involves a straightforward calculation based on the pool's dimensions. While brochures from departments or utilities contain information about water conservation and potential savings, they don't directly measure or determine the volume of a specific pool.

The actual volume calculation can be done using formulas depending on the shape of the pool; for example, a rectangular pool's volume can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and average depth.

The other options also don't provide a means of directly measuring volume. A water flow rate meter measures the rate at which water flows, and a volume gauge, if applicable, would be a physical measure for holding tanks or other systems rather than pools. A chemical testing kit is used for water quality analysis and not for measuring volume. For determining a swimming pool's volume, one would rely on the physical dimensions and calculations rather than materials or summaries provided in brochures.
