first of all, unless you want to empty it completely and count how many buckets it takes to fill it, you have to be good at math.
it'd probly be easier to figure it in metric (since 1 cubic centimeter is equal to 1 milliliter), and then convert to gallons.
first you measure the length, and multiply it by the width and multiply THAT by the depth and figure out how many cubic centimeters there are.
a thousand milliliters is equal to one liter (roughly a quart, 4 qts in a gallon)
my water bottle says 33.8 oz= 1L
and there are 32oz in a quart.

Don't try to mix metric & Imperial. Use one or the other. And don't try to use tiddly little tea-cup size units to measure a great big pool!
In metric it's easy: calculate the volume from the dimensions in metres. Then multiply by 1000 because 1 cubic metre = 1000 litres. Just like that.
In imperial, use feet to obtain cubic feet then multiply by the appropriate factor for gallons (remember US and UK gallons differ).
I cubic foot = 6.23 Imperial gallons; 7.52 US gallons.
If the pool is a straightforward rectangle in plan then its volume will be the longitudinal-section area x width. Assuming steady slope from shallow to deep end either calculate the long area as a trapezoid or as the sum of a (rectangle of shallow-end depth) + a (triangle based on difference in depths).
So if length L, shallow depth S, deep depth D, longitudinal x-section area =
LS +(L (D-S)/2)

Will the area of a circular pool tell you how much water is in it?
If you know the area of a pool then you need to multiply it by the height of the pool, then multiply by 7.48 to get gallons.
Do you put the acid straight in the Pool?
yes but i recommend having your water tested by a professional first. They will tell you how much acid to add to your pool and the steps to take afterward. Most pool places test water free of charge.
How can you tell what temperature your pool water is?
Use a thermometer.
How much water is in a 48inch 12round above ground pool?
How much water in a 48inch 12foot round pool
How much water is in the average pool?
It depends on the size of the pool.
Can you have to much water in your pool?
Yes, the pool can over-flow.
What is the stabilizer for pool water?
Dilution. You have to remove the overstabilized water and top-off the pool with fresh. Try it in a test sample first. Fill a cup, pour out 25%, top the cup back up with fresh non-pool water and retest your stabilizer level. If that's not low enough, try 33% or 50%. This will tell you how much water you will need to replace in your pool.
How water is contaminated?
To tell how acidic it is you can use pH strips. --- Hopefully not. There's so much chlorine in our tap water that when you turn on the cold water it smells like a swimming pool.
What is the formula to figure out how much dirt it will take to fill in a swimming pool?
It depends, what shape is the pool, then i can tell you. =)
Add acid in pool?
acid is added to a pool when alkalinity is too high. Take a sample of pool water to your pool shop and have it tested by them. they will tell you what is required.
How do I know the amount of swimming pool chemicals I need for my home swimming pool?
You will need to add an amount of chemicals that is proportional to the size of your pool. The containers of the chemicals should tell you how much to add for the size of pool you have. It might be better if you take a sample of water to a local pool supply store, so that they can tell you exactly what you need for your specific pool. http://www.ehow.com/about_5390392_chemicals-put-new-pool.html
How often should you change the water in your pool?
never. If you have a problem with the water in your pool, there are many chemicals avalible to help you. go to your local pool store with a water sample and ask for help. they can test your water and tell you exactly what you need to do.
