Correct me if I'm wrong... Length in metres x width in metres x depth in metres = cubic meter capacity 1 cubic meter = 1000 litres 1 imperial gallon = 4.54609188 litres 1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litres e.g. a 25m pool with a width of 5 meters and depth of 2 metres = 25 x 5 x 2 = 250 cubic metres 250 x 1000 = 250 000 litres! Therefore: 250 000/4.54609188 = approx. 54992.29 gallons of the UK variety or... 250 000/3.7854118 = approx. 66043.01 gallons of the US variety This becomes more complicated where the pool has varying depth. For that the pool will need to be split into sections and the capacity of each section added together.

A swimming pool that measures 12 feet by 30 feet and has an average depth of 6 feet contains approximately 16,157 gallons of water.

12 x 30 x 6 = 2,160 cubic feet

1 cubic foot = approximately 7.48 gallons

2160 x 7.48 = 16156.8

Multiply 90x90x22 to get 178200 cubic inches. googling for "178200 cubic inches in gallons" results in about 771 gallons. However, if you are using these numbers because of a pool sold at Sam's Club that claims those dimensions, get out a tape measure and check. Mine turned out to actually contain 73x73x14 actuall water capacity, which comes in at 323 gallons. That makes a huge difference in pool chemistry!

1) Find the volume of the pool. You will probably use V=lwh.

2) You will have most likely found an answer in cubic feet, so now you can use the fact that 1 cubic foot = 7.4805 US gallons.

Set up a proportion:

1 ft3/7.4805 gal = your answer in ft3/ X gal.

To find X, multiply your pool's volume by 7.4805.

* This procedure can serve as a good model, even if you're using the metric system or cubic inches instead of cubic feet. You will just need to look up the required conversion to gallons.

* Quite often, pools are not perfect rectangular prisms so you will need to find the average depth when determining the "h" part of V=lwh.
