| Can anyone tell me how to calculate the gallons of water in my freeform pool?
The pool is 32'long,and 23' at it's widest point(which is on a diagonal) and 3.5-7.5 feet deep. Should I get a measurment from three differnt areas of the width, and then average that out? So would the calculation look like something like this: L x average width x average depth= pool gallons? Am I close, or wayyyy off??

| Yep, average the width and multiply by length to get your surface square footage. It wont be perfect since its freeform, but it'll be close (its best if you have a blueprint that gives you surface square feet) There are 7.5 gallons in a cubic foot. So, the formula you are looking for is surface square footage x avg depth x 7.5 |

| Thanx kspoolman I figured it out to be around 23.5k - 24k. Close enough in my book. |
