How do you determine the volume of your round above ground pool?

Measure the diameter, that is the distance from one side
directly to the other side as you cross the center. Take that
distance and divide it by two to get the radius. Then measure the
height of the pool, i.e. how far it measures from top to bottom
along the side. Apply the formula pie x radius squared x height.
I.e. take the radius measurement and multiply it by itself (square
it) and then multiply that number by 3.14 (pie) and then multiply
that number by the height. Your final number will be the volume in
whatever units you measured the height and radius, i.e. inches
cubed or cubic inches if your radius and height were in inches. OR,
if you don't want to do THAT, you will need two things. 1. $5 an

uses the dimensions in feet and gives the answer in gallons:
diameter X diameter X depth X 5.9 = volume in gallons This and

How many gallons of water in a round 18' x 52'' above ground pool?
If it is a round 18' in diameter and a constant 52" deep then
the volume is 158.6 gallons per inch. 52 inches would then be
8247.2 gallons.

What size to build cement floor for 14' round pool above the ground?
I used a sand base for our 20' round above ground pool. It's

What is the volume of a pool 14' round by 3.5' deep?
I have a 12' above ground round pool that is fillable up to
about 29 inches and it holds roughly about 1600 gallons so yours
will probably hold more than 2000 gallons.
Asked in Geometry
How many gallons of water are in an above ground 28 foot diameter x 48 inch deep above ground pool?
Your round pool has a volume of 2463 cubic ft. The formula to
achieve this is Pi * (radius squared) * depth of 4 ft. Converting
this to U.S. Gallons comes to 18,425 gallons.

Can you make an oval pool into a round pool.. Are the ground wall bar tracks the same that came with the oval to design a round from it?
Due to the differences in engineering and the parts involved,
there really is no way to convert an oval above ground pool into a
round pool.

Do you have to keep water in an above ground pool year round?
No , above ground pools are different in that you can drain them
, the reason you cannot drain an in ground pool is because the pool
is built to have water pressure , and it is very stressful on the
walls , I hope this answered your question :) .

What is the difference between ground beef and ground round?
"Round" is a cut from a particular spot on the cow, it is often
cut for steak "round steak" or for roast" - "ground round" is a
more expensive blend, if I remember correctly it is not particular
fatty.
"Ground beef" if just that - beef cut from anywhere, it can have
fat added or come from a fatty area making it 80% or 90% fat by
weight/volume (or more, or less depending on the fat content).

Asked in Nutella, Beef and Veal
What is ground round?
Ground round was a term used years ago referring to the leanest
ground beef. The hind leg in beef is called the round (Top round,
bottom round, eye of round and sirloin tip). Today if you were to
read a recipe asking for ground round it does not mean you actually
have a butcher ground a round roast, it just means that you need
4%-7% fat ground beef. Likewise ground sirloin would be 10%-15% fat
and ground chuck would be 20% fat.

Can you convert an above ground 24' round pool into an oval above ground pool?
Answer is no
You can remove a round one and install an oval after, of course,
you make necessary adjustments to the ground--making the ground
level in an oval instead of a circle. The only things you might be
able to re-use from the round pool are the pump/filter, ladder,
skimmer and return fittings, and your cleaning equipment. Round
pools are built quite differently and are not meant to turned into
ovals. Theyndon't have the supports required, whether that be
braces or straps. So, basically the answer is 'no'.

Asked in Pool Building and Repair
Why does the ground have to be level for above ground pools?
So that the water doesn't drain out of the pool and so the pool
doesn't fall over.
I agree with the answer above but I have a more detailed answer.
In a round above ground pool the water puts even pressure on the
pool walls, and if the ground is not level one side will get more
pressure. The imbalance will cause the pool to collapse under the
strain.
