Estimating Pool Capacity
The following are a few simple formulas to calculate an estimate of your pool capacity.
First: Determine the Average Depth of your pool with the following equation:
Depth of Deep End + Depth of Shallow End ÷ 2
Second: Use your Average Depth to complete the capacity equation based on your pool's shape
Rectangular Swimming Pools:
Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5 = Total Gallons
Circular Swimming Pools:
Long Diameter x Short Diameter x Average Depth x 5.9 = Total Gallons
Oval Swimming Pools:
Long Diameter x Short Diameter x Average Depth x 5.9 = Total Gallons
