Pool Volume Calculator: How Many Gallons Does a 24ft Round Pool Hold?

To determine the number of gallons a 24ft round pool holds, you need to know the volume of the pool in cubic feet and then convert it to gallons. The volume of a cylinder, which is the shape of a round pool, is given by the formula V = πr²h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.

Since a 24ft pool has a diameter of 24 feet, its radius is 24 / 2 = 12 feet. Assuming the pool is 5 feet deep, the height is 5 feet.

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

V = π(12²)5

V = π(144)5

V = 720π cubic feet

To convert cubic feet to gallons, we multiply the volume in cubic feet by 7.48.

Gallons = 720π cubic feet * 7.48

Gallons ≈ 16,966.67 gallons

Therefore, a 24ft round pool holds approximately 16,967 gallons.
