Volume Calculation

Calculate the volume of water in your pool, based on the shape, by using the formulae:

RECTANGLE (OR SQUARE):

Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5 = Gallonage

ROUND/CIRCULAR:

Diameter x Average Depth x 5.9 = Gallonage

OVAL:

Maximum Length x Maximum Width x Average Depth x 5.9 = Gallonage

KIDNEY:

Maximum Length x Maximum Width x Average Depth x 5.9 = Gallonage

"L":
Break the "L" into two separate rectangles (or squares). Use the formula for a rectangle (or square) for each section. Add the two sections together.

Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5 = Gallonage

IRREGULAR: Consult with the pool professionals that built your pool. If they are out of business, call a local pool professional.

Jot the figure down and keep it in a safe place. It is the foundation stone for sound pool management.
