Standard Swimming Pool Gallons

For our final example let s say that i want to know how many us gallons of water it will take to fill an oval tank that measures 30 feet in width 20 feet in length and 10 feet deep.

Standard swimming pool gallons. Depth is gradually changing from 4 to 6 feet. The pool calculator shows the volume of water needed to fill up the pool. A 12 by 24 foot rectangular pool with an average depth of 5 feet will hold approximately 10 800 gallons of water. Let s say that the pool is 12 ft wide and 50 ft long.

In our case it s 22 441 57 us gallons. This type of swimming pool is used in the olympic games where the race course is 50 metres 164 0 ft in length typically referred to as long course distinguishing it from short course which applies to competitions in pools that are 25 metres 82 0 ft in length. The pool gallon calculator first calculates the surface area. If your pool has sloping sides multiply your final figure of gallonage by 0 85 for correct gallonage.

To calculate the volume of a rectangular swimming pool in gallons start by measuring the length width and depth of your pool.

If your pool has a shallow end and a deep end find the average depth of the pool by adding the depth of both ends together and then dividing the results by 2. Our example is with a standard rectangular pool so leave the default value.

A 16 by 32 foot pool with the same depth will hold about 19 200 gallons and a 20 by 40 foot pool will hold 30 000 gallons. Enter the dimensions of the swimming pool. An olympic size swimming pool conforms to regulated dimensions that are large enough for international competition. You can enter the dimensions in imperial feet yards or metric units cm meters.

A pool s water capacity in gallons depends on its total area and its average depth. Oval pools multiply full width x full length x average depth x 6 7 gallons irregular shapes and size pools capacity should be determined by your pool builder or specialist. Length x width x average depth x 7 5 volume in gallons length times width gives the surface area of the pool. For a 16x32 rectangle inground pool you would use 16 x 32 x 5 x 8 20 480 gallons for a 24 round above ground pool you would use 24 x 24 x 4 x 6 13 824 gallons.

Average depth of a typical above ground pool is 4 gallon multiplier for rectangle or square pools is 8 gallon multiplier for circular or oval pools is 6.
