 This formula is a good method of calculating how many gallons of water in your Swimming Pool or your Water Garden (Ponds). 

How to calculate gallons!

  1. Calculate average depth.
    (Deep end depth + shallow end depth) then divide by two.

  2. Calculate average length and then average width.

  3. Then multiply as shown below.

    Average Length X Average Width
    Then multiply results by Average Depth.
    Then multiply results by 7.5.

    EXAMPLE:
    Deep End =   8'
    Shallow   =   3'
    8'+3' =11 (then divide by 2 = 5.5' avg. depth.)
    Average length = 32'
    Average Width  = 15'
    32 X 15 = 480
    480 X 5.5 = 2640
    2640 X 7.5 = 19,800 gallons (est.)
