The problem in answering this question is what is an average pool? I will give the best answer I can. I will use an average size home pool of 16 ft by 32 ft by 5 ft depth.

The equation is Length X Width X Average Depth X 7.5 (for gallons in a cubic foot)

16 X 32 X 5 X 7.5 equals 19,200 gallons of water.

If we round up to 20,000 gallons we have an average amount for home pools. Between 20,000 and 30,000 gallons will cover most home pool installations for gallons of water. Some commercial pools are much larger and obviously contain much more water.

My initial guess would be approximately15,000 gallons, but let's do some math and check how close my guess actually is.

For starters, I must assume the dimensions of a typical household pool. From my collective memory as a child, swimming in our pool, I have decided to estimate the pool with the following averaged dimensions, 30 x 15 x 6. The resulsting volume based on these dimensional assumptions is equal to 2,700 cubic feet of storage. Using a known unit conversion factor of 7.4805 gallons per cubic feet, I can then determine the actual quantity of water in a typical household pool.

2,700 cubic feet (x) 7.4805 gallons/cubic feet = 20,197 Gallons.

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 = 2160 cubic feet

1 cubic foot = approximately 7.48 gallons

2160 x 7.48 = 16156.8

It depends on the size of the pool. There are too many variables to able to answer this question.
