Estimate how many gallons of water a rectangular pool holds — useful for dosing chemicals, sizing pumps and filling time.

The math behind it

Volume (ft³) = length × width × average depth.

One cubic foot of water = 7.48052 US gallons. For sloped floors, use the average of the shallow and deep ends.

Worked Example

32×16 ft pool, 5 ft average depth → 2,560 ft³ × 7.48052 = 19,150 gallons.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find average depth?

Add the shallow-end and deep-end depths and divide by 2.
