Calculate How Many Gallons Is My Outdoor In Ground Pool?
by Theresa Connolly
The deep end must be at least 8 or 9 feet deep. I tried to estimate the depth myself, but I get confused? I came up with around 40,000 once and 8,000 another time. So now I am really really confused...:) Can you help me figure out the gallons in my pool. Thank you Theresa Thanks for your question Theresa Figuring the gallons in your pool is pretty simple, once you have the correct formula for your calculations. For a rectangle pool: (Deep End + Shallow End) divided by 2 = Average Depth Average Depth X Length X Width X 7.48 = Gallons For a round pool: Depth X Diameter (squared) x 5.9 = Gallons Free form pool: (Deep End + Shallow End) divided by 2 = Average Depth (Width A + Width B + Width C + ...) divided by (number of measurements) = Average Width Average Depth X Length X Average Width X 7.48 = Gallons So I will assume that your pool is a rectangle pool, or pretty close to it. Let's take a look at the calculations: 22' by 8' Shallow end is 3.5' and deep-end is 9'. 3.5 + 9 = 12.5' 12.5' divided by 2 = 6.25' Average Depth Average Depth (6.25) X Length X Width X 7.48 = 8,228 gallons. If your pool is not a rectangle pool, then using one of the other above calculations will work just as well. Hope this helps and have a great Summer Robert |
