Rectangle, round, oval and kidney shapes, with a shallow and a deep end, in gallons, liters and cubic feet.","md",[647,650,653,656,659,662],{"q":648,"a":649},"How many gallons are in a 24-foot round above-ground pool?","About 12,972 gallons with 46 inches of water (a 52-inch wall) or 11,844 gallons with 42 inches (a 48-inch wall). Each extra inch of water in a 24-foot round pool adds about 282 gallons.",{"q":651,"a":652},"How do you calculate the volume of a pool with a shallow end and a deep end?","Use the average depth, (shallow + deep) ÷ 2. A 16 × 32 foot pool from 3.5 to 6 feet averages 4.75 feet, so it holds 16 × 32 × 4.75 = 2,432 cubic feet, or about 18,193 gallons. If the floor is not one even slope, average depths measured at several evenly spaced points instead.",{"q":654,"a":655},"Where does the 5.9 in the round pool formula come from?","A circle's area is π ÷ 4 × diameter², or 0.785 × diameter², and a cubic foot holds 7.48 gallons. Multiply 0.785 by 7.48 and you get 5.875, which the shortcut rounds to 5.9.",{"q":657,"a":658},"How many gallons are in a cubic foot of water?","7.48 US gallons, or 28.3 liters. A cubic foot of fresh water weighs about 62.4 pounds.",{"q":660,"a":661},"How long will it take to fill my pool?","Divide the gallons by your hose's flow in gallons per minute. Time how long a 5-gallon bucket takes to fill; if it takes one minute, the hose gives 5 gallons a minute and a 12,972-gallon pool needs about 2,594 minutes, roughly 43 hours.",{"q":663,"a":664},"Why does my pool manual list a different volume?","Manufacturers often work from the nominal size and an assumed water level. A pool sold as 24 feet may measure a little less inside, and every inch of water level changes the total, so measure your own water.","pool volume calculator",{},true,[669,670,671],"aquarium-volume-calculator","fish-tank-stocking-calculator","raised-bed-soil-calculator",{"title":167,"description":644},"Pool Volume Calculator – Gallons for Any Pool Shape","2026-10-17","jsER_AOg4njT7MVumZwsyUsQYRCEeVo4iD4wCRBUUu8",1792193315660]
