You need the formula for the volume of a cylinder: Volume of a cylinder= "pie"x "r squared"x "height" Volume of your Swimming Pool = (22/7) x (7.5) x (7.5) x (4) = 707.14 CUBIC FEET Convert to Gallons => 7.481 x 707.14 = 5,290 GALLONS Keep in mind that this is a perfect cylinder. If the sides of your pool are sloping then your pool contains less water and you should probably calculate the lower bounds with a 7 foot radius. This can be a significantamount of waterwhen adding chlorine and algaecide.

Here's a formula for round pools:

distance across*distance across*depth*5.9

for rectangles:

length*width*depth*7.5

or for a deep end:

length*width*((shallow end depth + deep end depth)/2)*7.5

so in your case, assuming it's inground with a 3 foot shallow end and an 8 foot deep end, 15*48*(3+8)/2*7.5=30000 gallons

If your pool is 4' to the water line and rectangle shaped 15 x 48 x 4 x 7.48 (gallons per cubic foot for rectangles) = 21,542 US gallons. If your pool is 4' to the water line and oval shaped 15 x 48 x 4 x 5.9 = 16,992 US gallons. If you meant 48" instead of 48' and your pool is round then 15 x 15 x 4 x 5.9 = 5,310 US gallons.
