One cubic metre of water is 1000 litres.

Most pools are 1.2m at the shallow end and 1.8m at the deep end. For calculation purposes 1.5m will be good enough.

So, your calculation would be 7.8m x 5m x 1.5m = 58.5 cubic metres

So, in round figures, your pool capacity is 60,000 litres which is a very common pool size.

As a tip, turn it into a salt water pool and always (repeat always) over filter it. That is, run the filter each day longer than the pool manufacturer's recommendations.

Then each month take a sample of water down to a (good) pool shop and do exactly what they tell you to do.

Happy and safe swimming.

A yacht is considered a hole in water into which you throw money, never to be seen again. I have had a swimming pool. It is a hole in the ground into which you throw money. You have the good type of pool . Above ground. You can easily get rid of the bastard of a thing when your family's interest wanes. Usually when the kids hit fifteen or so and don't want to socialise with parents or stay at home.

You will learn (or re-learn) fitting skills. Pools have pumps and filters that need constant attention.
