Swimming Pool Water Estimator

The document provides tables listing the estimated water capacities in gallons for various sizes of above ground and in-ground swimming pools. It also includes formulas for calculating the water needs of pools not listed, based on the pool's shape, dimensions, and average depth. Additionally, it notes that utilities are often billed based on units of 100 cubic feet of water used, and gives an example of how filling a pool could impact a water bill.

Most in-ground pools have a variable depth. The chart below assumes a depth of 7' at the deep
end and 3' at the shallow end. In addition, the Oval, Grecian, and Kidney shapes vary so the
chart below may not exactly match your requirements.
All numbers have been rounded to the nearest 100 gallons.

If you don't see your size listed, use the following formula for calculating the number of gallons of
water you'll need.

Round pool: Take the Diameter times Diameter, times the average depth, times 5.9. For
example, for an 18 ft. pool 4 ft. high you would multiply 18 x 18 = 324. Then 324 x 4 = 1,296.
Then 1,296 x 5.9 = 7,646.4 gallons needed.

Oval pool: Take the length time’s width, times the average depth, times 5.9. For example, for an
11' x 30' pool 4 ft. high you would multiply 11 x 30 = 330. Then 330 x 4 = 1,320. Then 1320 x 5.9
= 7,788 gallons needed.

Rectangular pool: Take the length time’s width, times the average depth, times 7.5. For
example, for a 12' x 24' pool 4 ft. high you would multiply 12 x 24 = 288. Then 288 x 4 = 1,152.
Then 1,152 x 7.5 = 8,646 gallons needed.

Gallons Converted to 100 Cubic Feet: Pool Gallons Divided by 748 = 100 Cubic Feet

How this effects your Utility Bill when filling a Pool: The City bills Water in 100 Cubic foot
Units and is multiplied by the Current Rate X Units = Water Charge

(Example) $2.46 X 30* Units = $ 73.80 in Water Cost; (Rate is Spit into Water Treatment
and Water Distribution)

*This does represent the total of all usage with in the residence not just exclusive to the filling on
the pool, it suggested to obtain a read from the Water Meter (Before and After) to determine
what water has supplied the pool.
