The maths

  1. Area = π × 15 × 7.5 = 353.4 sq ft
  2. Volume = 353.4 × 4 = 1,414 cu ft
  3. 1,414 cu ft × 7.48 gal per cu ft

= 10,580 US gallons

Real pools vary: water levels sit a few inches below the wall top, floors slope and corners are rounded. If your pool’s depth differs, adjust it in the volume calculator.
