The maths

  1. Area = π × 12² = 452.4 sq ft
  2. Volume = 452.4 × 4 = 1,810 cu ft
  3. 1,810 cu ft × 7.48 gal per cu ft

= 13,540 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.
