How do I calculate how many gallons a pool is?
Monday, November 13, 2023
The magic number to remember is 7.5. That’s the number of gallons in a cubic foot of water. So, measuring in feet, LENGTH x WIDTH x AVERAGE DEPTH x 7.5 = the gallons of water in the pool. It gets more complicated for a circular pool: pi (3.14) x RADIUS SQUARED (radius x radius) x AVERAGE DEPTH x 7.5. And an irregularly shaped pool, such as kidney shape, requires either calculating a combination of shapes or averaging length x width x depth x 7.5 to get the gallons.
