What the number helps you check
Filling and draining
Use your measured hose or pump flow rate. A 6,423-gallon pool takes about 10 hours 42 minutes at 10 gallons per minute, before interruptions.
Ground preparation
The pool should follow the manufacturer’s level-ground and base-preparation instructions. The average load shown here does not describe soil bearing, slope, erosion or frame-leg pressure.
Decks and raised surfaces
Do not place a pool on a deck, balcony, roof or raised platform based on this calculator. The water alone weighs tens of thousands of pounds.
Nominal height versus water depth
A 48-inch wall does not mean 48 inches of water. Use the model’s listed capacity or measure the actual average water depth.
