How it works

A pool volume calculator finds how much water a pool holds, which you need for dosing chemicals and sizing equipment. Multiply length by width by average depth for cubic feet, then convert to gallons.

Pool volume (rectangular)

Cubic feet = length × width × average depth        Gallons = cubic feet × 7.48
length, width
pool dimensions in feet
average depth
(shallow + deep) ÷ 2
7.48
gallons per cubic foot

Worked example

  • Pool 32 ft × 16 ft
  • Average depth = 5 ft
  1. Cubic feet = 32 × 16 × 5 = 2,560
  2. Gallons = 2,560 × 7.48

≈ 19,150 gallons.

Good to know

  • Use the average depth, not the deepest point, for a sloped-bottom pool.
  • Round pools use π·r²·depth; ovals and kidney shapes approximate with an average width.
  • Accurate volume keeps chemical dosing safe — overdosing is both wasteful and harsh on swimmers.
