Calculate Amount of Pool Water Needed
Pool Capacity
To calculate how much water you need, please use the following formulas:
(Note: Average Depth = shallow end+deep end divided by 2)
Rectangle Pools: Length x Width x Average Depth x 7.5=Gallons
Oval and Irregular Pools: Length x Width x Average Depth x 5.9=Gallons
Round Pools:
Width x Width x Average Depth x 5.9=Gallons
SJ Johnson offers water tanker rentals for construction sites in addition to water trucks for dust control. SJ Johnson also offers sand delivery for new above ground pool installation. Masonry sand is used as the base for above ground to protect the vinyl liner from being punctured. The installer will know the amount of sand you will need. We have included a chart for a basic guide:
15′ Round= 3 Tons
18’Round=4 Tons
